My new experimental diet/plan

[FitnessBrat]

Pisses me off, costco has stopped carrying the better oats brand. Now I am going to have to find some place online to buy them in bulk. Amazon doesn't seem to have much other then an overpriced 3 pack. May have to just start paying more and get them from target. No way I am going back to regular oats.

I just bought some at Target. $1.25 for 5 packs. I don't know how that compares pricewise to what you've been buying.

I have 2 unopened boxes that you can have. I went back to zero grain in my diet.

Curious - why are you grain free? And how are you liking it?

Nice of you bro but I go through almost a box and a half in a single day. Wouldn't be worth your trip to the post office. haha

thats cheap. costco sold them as a 6 pack. cant remember exactly how much they cost. going to target tomorrow so i will see if they have the same deal.

Tried this stuff out last night and this morning. Its just regular oats with maple flavoring. No sugar or anything. Each serving (half cup) has 30 grams carbs just like the better oats packets. I just add 2 packets of spelnda. Its ok but for me nothing beats the texture of the better oats brand and the packets are so much more convenient then measuring each time.

Holy fuck, I picked up a few more of the oatmeal varieties. Same company, and same basic calorie break down just not "organic".

The oatmeal raisen cookie is fucken great! You guys gotta try this companys oatmeal. The texture, taste, etc.. will make you not be able to eat old school oatmeal again.

Have you tried cinnamon plum spice?

Never seen it in store. Good?

Only kind I can find is the blueberry muffin. They're awesome! Love it!

Bit of a departure from my norm today. Instead of chicken and oats PWO, I had shrimp with pasta and sauce. Pretty damn good actually. Big change for me! :D

None fat sauce of course. Strictly protein and carbs baby!

[Scrumhalf]

That looks pretty good. I love pasta... I would eat it every day if I could.

hey blm, you mentioned bulgogi in the NYC thread, look what I found at costco today when i was looking for salt and pepper. i cut up 2 chicken breast, half an onion, and a bell pepper. sprinkled this shit all over it and its cooking now.

No shit. I had no idea they had something like that. Wonder how it tastes on chicken. Sounds weird, knowing the taste and how well it marries with beef.

Damn Costco has everything.

It wasn't half bad. Bit more spicy then I remember it at the Korean BBQ.

I think Costco tends to also carry shit that is popular locally. The one here sells Giardiniera, that pepper shit that people put on the Chicago Italian beef sandwich. I def never saw that in Jersey.

If you guys have any other kind of spices or flavoring that I can use to kick up my chicken meals let me know.

[blm]

Bulgogi is sweet and salty, typically. Not spicy.

I really need some new chicken ideas too.

Just a final update on this diet experiment.

In short, I would recommend it to anyone. It has been by far the best diet I have ever run on multiple levels.

IMO, Oats are absolutely a better energy source compared to rice. I feel more satisfied between meals, the energy levels seem more stable, and the digestive system is running better then ever. That last point is not the best topic of conversation but it's an important one none the less. I really feel that all the fiber in the oats has helped me process my calories more efficiently.

If you are stuck in a rut and need a change, give this diet a try, I think you will be surprised at how good you feel.

Figure this one out.

Last few weeks I switched from the better oats packets to basic Quaker oats. I kept the portion and calorie per meals equal to what I was eating with the better oats.

My stomach became bloated and digestion and everything that goes along with that slowed way down. Looked like I was pregnant.

So I switch back to the better oats brand 3-4 days ago and my stomach is back to being tight and I am back to my normal poo poo schedule! lol.

Any ideas? Why the fuck would a certain brand of oatmeal effect me so differently then another when cals and portion were the same??
