Eat Oatmeal

Oatmeal is an often overlooked food for good health. Its cheap to buy, lowers cholesterol and keeps you full so you don't overeat. The most difficult thing about oatmeal is how to cook it and making it taste the way you like it. I buy the 1 minute oatmeal in the giant tub. I cook it on the stove. First I boil the measured 1 cup water than add a 1/3 cup of oatmeal. I said measure because I mean measure. So many people just don't measure and that's where it goes wrong. You get a watery mess or lumpy dry glue. Keep stirring until you like the consistency. Add fruit, nuts or anything you like with oatmeal. Pour it into a bowl and add some Splenda to sweeten without the extra calories. Eat this every morning with a glass of water and your body will thank you. If you are not used to eating fiber, and most Americans are not, then just make a half of a serving and work your way up.
