Oatmeal Diet

ralm6970 Posts: 1 Joined: 2002/07/04	2002/07/04, 08:34 PM I have been told there is an oatmeal diet wherby you have 6 meals a day. Has anyone seen/tried this diet? If so, can you share it with me. Thanks.

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2005/01/29, 11:33 AM I do know a guy who (pre-competition) ate 1/2c of oatmeal and a chicken breast, every 3 hours.It meant he was getting the same amount of carbs and protein at each meal, no guessing, and it leaned him out. Boring and not nutrientwise, but it worked for him. A prolonged diet like that could lead to food allergies and other deficiencies, so i wouldn't recommend it. -------------- Get er done
