Is porridge good for losing weight?
It's no secret that oatmeal is healthy and rich in numerous vitamins, nutrients and protein. Porridge is a porridge made from oat flakes and milk or water. Due to the complex carbohydrates it contains, oatmeal makes you feel fuller for longer and you don't feel hungry until lunchtime. Whether porridge is good for weight loss depends on how you prepare it and depending on the toppings, the calories can vary between 200 and 600. Peanut butter, honey, nuts and seeds in particular can turn your breakfast into a real calorie bomb. So use the toppings sparingly and it's best to weigh everything with a kitchen scale. The ready-made porridge mixes from the supermarket are usually full of sugar and calories and you should avoid them.
