Oatmeal

Super sidekicks: Wheat germ and groundflaxseed
Sidekicks: brown rice, wheat , buckwheat, raye, millet, bulgur wheat, quinoa, wild rice and couscous. Oats contain HIGH fiber, LOW calories, protein!

The layers of nutrients in oats make them so special and why they are an excellent choice for your daily meal. You see the more layers the more work your digestive system needs to break each! The longer it takes for the process of "breakdown" the longer you stay full, free from picking and over eating. Can you imagine eating a steak, biting it, chewing it, getting it down your throat, and still be hungry and craving a Chinese food while the process of eating the steak? Oats really do stick to your belly!

There are plenty of important benefits to eating oats but I just really want to show you that when eating dense, clean foods they keep you full longer without the huge about of calories. You are looking to eat the most for the least of calories and toxins in food.

2Tbsp flaxseed Meal, 2Tbsp Wheat germ
