I buy the regular kind without sugar and stuff but add splenda and salt and have a good sized portion.

oatmeal is very good for you on a diet, watch your portions and what you add to it and all is good! The reason it is good is due to the fiber and the cholesterol lower benefits.

Oatmeal is great. Just make sure you only eat the serving that is recomended on the box and try not to add to much sugar and salt. There is a diet that i have heard from a friend is working well. its eating chicken and oatmeal only. With vegis and fruits. But the portions are small and throughout the day. He says he has lost 7lbs in just 2.5 weeks. oatmeal is very filling and keeps you full for longer than most things so its good for a diet.

Oatmeal is VERY good for you. It's low in fat, sodium, helps to lower cholesterol, is very high in fiber, fills you up and is all around a good food.
But just like anything else, too much of a good thing is not good. Portion control is just as important as WHAT you eat.

Oatmeal is wonderful for breakfast or any time. I used to be afraid of the carbs, but now I know it is very healthy. The "old fashioned" kind is best. Add toasted walnuts and fresh blueberries for an extra good treat. Very heart friendly!

If you buy the SLOW cooking kind (more natural) rather than the fast cook (processsed) it is GREAT as it digests slowly and does not cause your sugar levels to rise. Keeps you feeling full until lunch time which is what you want on a diet. It's great with a bit of yougurt on top and fresh fruit.
