Oatmeal: A Healthy Belly Fat Burning Food

Oatmeal is among the best when it comes to healthy carbohydrates and "quality" calories. Due to it's high fiber content and high levels of certain fat-burning antioxidants it can also be considered a "fat burning" food. If your goal is to lose belly fat you can't go wrong with eating a big bowl of oatmeal each morning. Personally I also usually add some to my protein shakes to increase fiber content and improve taste. Here's a great article with some tasty and healthy oatmeal recipes you can use to lose weight and get fitter...

Belly Fat Blasting Oatmeal Recipes That Are Fast And Delicious

by Heather Picken

One of my favorite fat-burning foods that will help women burn more fat, especially excess belly fat is oatmeal. That is why I wanted to share some of my quick and tasty recipes for those of you who don't have a lot of time but want to slim down and tone up.

If you incorporate oatmeal every day in your fat-burning menu you will start to notice your belly shrinking rather than eating a bagel, toast, or sugary cereal. Oatmeal also is a great source of fiber which we need in order for our bodies to run like clockwork.

The following recipes can be prepared by stove top or microwave use 1/2 cup of water when cooking.

Peanut butter Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
1 tbl. of all natural peanut butter
microwave or cook on stove top stir in peanut butter

Pumpkin Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
dash of cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
2 tablespoons of unsweetened pumpkin
1tbl of powdered non-fat milk

Egg Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
dash of cinnamon
1 packet of splenda
mix in 4 egg white while cooking oats

Maple Nut Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
Stir in syrup after cooking and top off with almonds
1 Tablespoon of no-sugar syrup
8 almonds

High Protein Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
1-2 scoops of protein powder of your choice
after cooking stir in protein powder

Faux Cookie Dough Oatmeal (Yes that's right)
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
Prepare this overnight or put in the freezer after cooking for about
30 min.
1 packet of splenda

This is a required taste but it tastes similar to cookie dough without the sugar and fat!

Oatmeal is really great! I heard that it flushes out cholesterol from our body.

Oat meals are good in your diet plans but adding some exercise is a must for a good weight loss plan.

Hello, my name is Reggie. I am very impressed by your blog; it's simple, clean, and informative. That's what everybody wants these days. You can rarely find anybody who's willing to sit down and read a long blog on exercising. They just want to get on a program and lose weight already! I really like your newest blog on oatmeal for fat burning food. That's exactly what I eat every morning when I wake up. I look forward to the hot and steamy bowl of oatmeal every night when I go to bed. And I totally agree with what you said about oatmeal's benefit for losing excess body weight because I have seen the results.

I actually have a blog on fitness and diet as well. It'd be great if you can check it out sometimes at www.reggiesoang.com and leave me some feedbacks. I will definitely check your blog frequently too. Keep up with the good work!

Great recipes and a great reminder about oatmeal. I usually eat a small couple of ounces of oatmeal, and also a couple ounces of a nutricious cereal. I guess the two together sort of keep me from getting too bored of the same old thing.

Great post! It's good to know that I'm eating the right thing every morning! I prepare my oatmeal with water and a dash of low fat milk, then I add either a tsp of honey, or I add some grated apple, raisins and cinnamon to it. Yummy stuff!! :)

Great Post! Thanks for sharing all of the useful recipes. I knew that oatmeal provided the body with healthy carbs and fiber; but the fat-burning antioxidants are news to me. Thanks :)

I absolutely love oatmeal I drink it for breakfast and I've been drinking it for many years, but I have found an easier way to drink my oatmeal and it takes me no time in the morning. The product is avena Alpina Finesse, it is absolutely delicious and it only has 70 calories per serving, I buy it in my grocery store in Miami but I also order it on Amazon for my for my sister who lives in Texas. If you want to try it, you can go to their website www.alpinaus.com and read some information about this product... let me tell you it will make your mornings less complicated!
