What is oat bran and why is it good for weight loss?
Oats are used to make both oatmeal and oat bran. What is the difference in this case? The oat husk or bran is a nutritious food that can be consumed on its own. It is a waste product that is produced when oats are ground into oat flour and oat flakes. On the other hand, there is no reason to throw away the bran. It's even suitable for a variety of baked goods, from bread to cookies. It contains many nutrients, including fiber, protein and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. So if you want to improve your diet, oat bran is a good choice.
Oatmeal and oat bran have the same carbohydrate and fat content, but the bran has much more fiber and protein. Oatmeal has a reputation for being a healthy food that keeps you feeling full for longer, but bran has even more fiber per serving, so you can eat less and still feel full. Both bran and oatmeal are useful for lowering cholesterol and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.
