One of the most popular cereals among athletes and a great tradition in the Nordic countries, oats are undoubtedly a great food.
There are many types of carbohydrates in the form of supplements which, yes, are highly recommended and effective, but often you get the best supplementation from food.
One of these superfoods is the oatsa cereal blessed with an infinite number of properties for our organism. Here are some of them:

It may seem that everything has already been said about oats, but this time I would like to give my opinion and a small contribution for all sportsmen and women or simply for anyone who wishes to eat a healthy and correct diet.
The most normal and common thing is to think that oatmeal is ideal for breakfast, right? YES, absolutely, oatmeal is an EXCELLENT NUTRIENT TO START THE DAY. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we must include quality foods rich in carbohydrates.
But... what happens the rest of the day? You can no longer eat carbohydrates... and at dinner? (more than one of you will be holding your hands up to your head) oatmeal for dinner!!!! What a shock!!!!
In the field of nutrition, from my professional experience with clients and from my experience as an athlete I can reveal that OATMEAL is also ideal as a small carbohydrate intake in the afternoon and evening, as well as after training.
Every day I am more and more against that famous phrase "no carbohydrates after 6 p.m." That, my dear readers, is nonsense. You have to eat! And eat everything. Even for lose weight.
When I gave up competition, 6 years ago, I initially had this panic about carbohydrates and eating them at night, as I was aware that my energy expenditure was not going to be what it used to be, my body was beginning to change, my muscles were beginning to acquire that normal soft tone. They say "a blacksmith's fork and spoon" and I was doing exactly the opposite of what I preached. Cutting out carbohydrates, even though I wanted to lose a few kilos, was causing me a permanent stagnation, a horrible anxiety about eating worse than ever.
You have to get rid of that fear. And I recommend taking oatmeal in doses (20 or 30 grams at dinner for example as a source of carbohydrates) to all those people who want to keep their metabolism active, lose weight and eliminate anxiety completely. You will no longer feel like breaking your diet! What's the point! If your body gets all the carbohydrates and fibre it needs to feel full.
