Guest guest Posted July 8, 2000 Report Share Posted July 8, 2000 I like to take 2 heaping tablespoons of vanilla myoplex and blend with 1/2 cup low or nonfat milk, pour over your oatmeal like cream, add a handful of raw sunflower seeds for crunch. It's GOOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 Hi Barbra, I've never tried soaking it in milk but I've heard the same thing. I usually add a little more water to the oatmeal so it not so sticky and pop it in the microwave a little less time then required and I usually add some peaches to it. Hope that helps..

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 Barbara: I have tried leaving the oats in skim milk overnight. I wasn't too wild about the results. I've been microwaving a portion of oatmeal for one minute, letting it sit for a minute, and then microwaving it for another minute. That works for me (easy, but without that unpleasant gelatinous texture!). ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 Have you tried the chocolate peanut butter oatmeal recipe from the Sept. issue of Muscle Media? It tastes just like those no bake cookies. I tweak the recipe and use cocoa instead of fat free swiss miss ( too much sodium for me). If you have a sweet tooth, this is for you.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 That's exactly how I do mine too, Colleen. I use a coffee/spice grinder but I like to have different size oats in the soap, not just ground up fine. I made a batch for the ladies' shop last week and there's only one bar left. So I guess I'll be at it again this week. M Re: Adding things to M & P soap ... I just use rolled oats that I grind down some in my little food chopper & add that to the base for the exfoliation. You need to let the base cool some before stirring the oatmeal in or else it all sinks/rises to the top of the mold!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Oatmeal was always " on the line " for O's - it can lead to weight gain in carbohydrate sensitive individuals. We nonnies are the " poster children " of carb sensitivity! I think the oat bran alone would probably be ok. Oatmeal Oatmeal is listed as an avoid for nonnies in the type base but no reason is given. Usually when it is lectin activity that is stated. So I am wondering why it is an avoid for nonnies. Anyone got an idea here. The reason I would like to know is that I seem to do better when I have oatmeal or oat bran in my diet....perhaps it is just the need for that type of fiber? Soluble? I also take 2 tbls ground soaked flax seed a day and 2 scoops of Thorne Arabinex so I am getting lots of fiber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Debbie, Oats in any form are avoid for non-secretors and neutral for secretors. Try thinking protien in the morning, because carbs start your insulin working. Make yourself a little steak and an egg maybe? Granola, of course, has oats in it and a lot of raisons which are carbs. Eating the protien will help you control your appetite, and get your engine started. It's difficult to change habits of a lifetime, but the end result is worth it. Make yourself a really nice omlette, with a few veggies in it and a little cheese. That is a nice breakfast too. I used to have a shake made with blueberries, pineapple, banana and a little seltzer water, but found the carbs made me very hungry that early in the morning. I have the shake as a snack now, usually in the afternoon occassionally, which is a good way to get all your fruit portions for the day at one time. Hope you find this helpful.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Hi, Debbie! The substance in oats that may be making you sleepy is opioids. They are addictive and, like MSG and aspartame, neurotoxic (poisonous to the nervous system). I'm just learning about this. Opioids are found heavily in wheat and milk, and of course, opium poppies. From what I am finding, they are in all gluten grains (wheat, oats, rye, and barley), corn, and big in soy. In milk they are called casomorphins. They are in the casein, so ghee, which is casein and lactose free is OK. Some researchers think civilization, with its two classes, the rulers and the ruled, got its start with the opioid-containing grains and milk. Do a Google search for opiods and wheat to learn more about this. While I'm at it, another substance in many Neolithic foods is toxic lectins. These are not the blood type lectins. Toxic lectins tend to create holes in your intestines (Leaky Gut Syndrome), and escape to damage all the organs of your body; the source of many people's fuzzy brain problems. Obviously, not everyone is affected this way. Those with tough guts ; ))) and a low stress life will have fewer problems. The foods high in toxic lectins are all grains, legumes--especially soy, and dairy. This site will tell you more: www.krispin.com/lectin.html It's interesting that none of these food groups have much to offer Type Os. Hope this will help wake you up!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Tink, That sounds really good. What kind of protein powder do you use? I'm going to the nutrition store today to stock up on Myoplex shakes (today is their monthly big discount day for members) I know EAS has protein powder but they have Simply Protein and Precision Protein which I have no clue what is different about them.??

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 I bought a protein powder way before BFL so I'm still using it up. It's actually really yummy. It's called HDT 100% Pure Whey Protein. It has a blue label. I think it cost about $29. CDN on sale. I don't know anything about the other's though! Sorry I couldn't be more help! Tink Stefanie wrote: > Tink, > That sounds really good.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Tink, Make sure you are eating regular oats vs. the processed instant oatmeal. There's a big difference. The processed stuff is like eating white bread vs. WW bread or white rice vs. brown rice. They do make quick oats, which may be what you are referring to. You want to see the oats in more of a raw form.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 I'd really stay away from instant oatmeal. I know it's convenient, but old fashioned only takes abt. 4 minutes to cook in the microwave, and it's not stripped of nutrients and fiber like instant is. Also, re. adding unsweetened apple sauce to oatmeal, it's fine, but it's also sort of doubling up on the carbs, so I would do protein powder plus 2 T. or so only of the unsw. applesauce. > > > I just came across a recipe on the BFL website suggesting adding > > unsweetened (which is still plenty sweet IMO) to your oatmeal.
