To lose weight, a healthy and balanced diet is ideal. However, it’s important to limit your calorie intake, especially if you don’t exercise. In the latter case, a single low-calorie diet can be beneficial, as it encourages your body to use excess fat as an energy source. In this article, we’ll introduce you to an oatmeal diet that can help you lose up to 2 kilos in just one week and achieve a slimmer figure.
The following recipes, all oat-based, are perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Oatmeal and Banana:
Bananas are rich in potassium and a good source of energy, making them a perfect match for oats. For this recipe, you’ll need: 1 ripe banana, 6 tablespoons of oats, and soy or almond milk.
Microwave it for about 30 seconds. Then it’s ready to eat. For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon.
Yogurt and oats:
Add 5 tablespoons of oat flakes to a cup of yogurt (preferably Greek), garnish with pieces of fruit if desired, mix everything together and eat immediately.
Oatmeal smoothie:
Blend one cup of soy or almond milk with 6 tablespoons of oats, 7 whole strawberries, and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
After you have mixed all the ingredients, you can now drink the mixture.
Oatmeal not only helps you lose weight, it also keeps you feeling full and energized throughout the day.
