Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWire) -- 11/25/2013 --Weight loss or control and general healthy living tends to focus on one primary strategy – healthy eating habits. While there are many facets to the complicated problem of obesity, eating healthy is staple in any lifestyle change enacted to deal with this health issue. When looking at food consumption and benefits, researchers recently compared the effects of oatmeal consumption against those who regularly ate ready-made breakfast cereals. The results showed that oatmeal came out on top when working to improve appetite control.

Involving 48 subjects 18 years or older, researchers with the American College of Nutrition compared the appetites of those who ate a breakfast of oatmeal compared to those who ate ready-made breakfast cereals over the course of a few days. Those who consumed oatmeal reported lower hunger ratings, and a longer feeling of fullness and satisfaction than those who consumed the cereals. This feeling of satisfaction lingered throughout the day and resulted in less overall calorie consumption and more satiety than those whose breakfast included only packaged cereals.

Oatmeal is a complex carbohydrate which not only increases feelings of fullness, but can provide extended energy as well making it more likely that a person will engage in some sort of activity rather than remain sedentary or feel a slump later in the day. Oatmeal’s high-fiber content balanced with an appropriate amount of glucose also stimulates the body to remain fuller longer as fiber takes longer to digest than simple sugars or other refined carbohydrates.

Oatmeal is also something that can be changed to suit personal tastes. The addition of fruit, healthy nut sources, or honey for a sweeter taste can increase satisfaction with the breakfast, and prompt a person to make healthier food choices throughout the day. If looking to change breakfast habits to increase satiety throughout the day and provide the body with more energy, a switch from ready-made breakfast cereals to high-fiber oatmeal may be the key to jumpstart in weight loss.
