The Oatmeal Diet

Oatmeal, oatmeal, and more oatmeal. I've been eating it for breakfast, lunch, and part of dinner for 5 days now. I've lost one pound. I need to lose about 30 more, and I'm hoping oatmeal is going to help me. One of the benefits of eating alot of oatmeal is that it keeps you full for a long time. Here are some others that I found online:

• Lowers LDL cholesterol
• Has anticancer properties
• Good for diabetics because it slows down the digestion of starch which prevents rise in blood glucose after a meal
• Rich in antioxidants
• Reduces the risk of heart disease

Soooooo maybe the combination of soy milk, oatmeal, high fiber bread, and lots of fruits and veggies will help me lose some weight. (Natures Valley double fiber bread is 50 calories a slice, half the calories of regular white bread)

As I'm writing this the Saints have just scored another touchdown. Go Saints!!!

I'm watching the game, snuggled up to my oldest, softest blanket and resting before going to sit with my sweet little old lady at the rehab center tonight.

Life is Good!!!!!!!!!
