fat burning and cardio

[sixone193]

ok. wow. i didnt know oatmeal was high glycemic. Another bodybuilder told me he eats brown rice. But I was also told that instant oatmeal is high glycemic, where as organic jumbo oat non-instant would be lower glycemic. That's the stuff I use. But I will try switching over to brown rice and some sweet potatoes. I use nuts and avocado for my fats. chicken salmon and cottage cheese for protein... But I don't know too much. I am having trouble getting below 15%. I just did a bunch of cardio (morning with coffee in gym - 1 hr. sat and sunday plus night 40 min at night.

there was a book by Gerard Dente called macrobolic nutrition that breaks down the GI really well, it does eventually turn into a marketing tool for his supplement company-MNP but it still has a ton of great information if you can find it, they used to sell it at GNC, got mine for 4.00 and it's great.

most store bought oatmeal has alot of sugar in it.   just check the nutrition labels first...."weight smart" oatmeal from quaker is the best you can gte as far as sugar/fiber ratio goes

again.....PLAIN instant oatmeal is low glycemic.....yes, if you buy the flavored it will contain simple sugars....so just go w store brand, PLAIN instant.....

yes, plain oatmeal is low glycemic, I just "count it" as high because for some reason it causes a reaction in me similar to eating white carbs or even sugar. I have tried oatmeal in my diet several times over the last 8 years and each time I give it up for this reason. I know it does not make sense from a basic nutritional standpoint, I don't have this problem with any other low glycemic carb, explanation might be my hypoglycemic tendencies, being more carb sensitive then normal in conjunction with how I metabolize this particular food.

interesting....the only carbs eat are oatmeal, brown instant rice and the occasional can of sweet potatoes
