Hi Guys
Few years ago, I made a diet plan named "Egg Diet" To Lose 10 Kgs In 10 Days.
I am sure it doesn’t need an introduction as It has more than 18M+ views
and has changed the lives of many. In this diet, I have recommended oatmeal
for dinner. I already have a video on oatmeal but that was made prior to making the egg diet.
Although the process to make oatmeal was pretty straight and simple however till date I still
get a lot of queries on how to make it, how much to take, ingredients that go in, etc.
So today, I thought to remake the same
oatmeal recipe for my viewers to help clear off the doubts.
So let's get started...
The recipe I am showing is for 1 serving.
So take a saucepan and add 3 Tbsp of Oats. You can use quick or rolled oats, however, rolled oats are
anytime better. If you are a Thyroid or a Gluten Intolerant patient, then opt for Gluten-Free Oats.
And here, you are supposed to use plain oats and not the pre-packed or flavored oats.
While many may think of oats solely as a breakfast food,
I recommended them for dinner as they are ideal for night too.
Oats are a natural source of melatonin, the hormone that regulates
sleep and wake cycles. They basically regulate the body’s internal clock.
They are rich in calcium and magnesium which promote good quality sleep.
Plus, complex carbohydrates, such as oats, make 'tryptophan' more readily available to the brain.
Oats are also rich in fiber keeping us full and help avoid hunger pangs at night.
Fighting hunger while on a weight loss diet is very challenging and oats do this job well.
Next, add 1/2 cup of milk. Use a low-fat milk,
or any nut or plant-based milk if you are a PCOS or a PCOD patient.
Now turn on the heat. Then add half cup of water.
Now I am adding some slivered or sliced almonds.
Like oats, Almonds, also are a good source of melatonin,
magnesium, and vitamin E, all of which aid in better sleep during the night.
Almonds are low in carbs and high in protein and fiber and help with weight loss.
You can also use walnuts instead of almonds.
Next are prunes. I have taken 3 prunes, which I have sliced into halves.
You can also chop them into tiny bite-sized pieces.
Common problem of a high protein diet is restricted bowel movement & constipation,
which is caused due to lack of fiber in your system hence I have suggested
prunes as they contain a lot of fiber which support healthy digestion and weight loss.
Next is 1 tsp of flaxseeds. You may use any whole or ground flaxseeds.
I added flaxseeds because they are low in carbs,
rich in protein and essential fatty acids, and help with weight loss.
Flaxseed is also a good source of dietary fiber and we have already learned the importance of it.
They have sleep-regulating substance "serotonin" and magnesium which reduces stress. They also have
phytochemicals called lignan’s which can help lower the risk of heart disease etc.
Now let the oatmeal come to a boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes
and then turn off the heat. Let it cool down a bit.
Next, add half chopped apple with the skin on.
Any variant of apple is fine. Apple is a low-calorie-density food.
It promotes fullness and reduces calorie intake and weight.
And in the end, I am adding 1 tbsp of honey. You can also use maple syrup instead of honey. Honey
when added to something hot, loses some of its beneficial properties, hence let the oatmeal cool
down a bit before adding honey. And also please refrain from using processed sugar in this recipe.
Consuming honey right before bedtime helps burn more calories during the early hours of sleep.
It has essential vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats as well. Also, essential hormones in honey
suppress appetite and aid in weight loss. Now mix well and shift to a cup.
In the end, garnish with some sliced almonds and our Weight Loss Oatmeal
is ready. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon on top for flavour and extra health benefits.
It not only looks pretty but tastes delicious.
And yes this is safe for all including
Thyroid, PCOS, PCOD, Diabetics, etc.
I hope this time I was able to clear off all the doubts regarding Oatmeal in the "Egg Diet."
Do incorporate this recipe with my Egg Diet Plan to Lose up to 10Kg In 10 Days.
