oatmeal :/
Hi Everyone! Well....Today is my start-up day! I'm starting with apple/cinnimon oatmeal this am. I can hardly get it down (I even added a sprinkle of cinnimon). Are there any tips? I ordered a few boxes of oatmeal, since I eat the regular kind and enjoy it.

I'm not on Medifast, so I don't really know how restricted you are, or if you have to eat specific provided oatmeal... I love my oatmeal, and I always slice a banana or some strawberries onto it... yummy!
Good luck! |
I have a hard time with oatmeal also. I think it's the consistency...it just seems to stick in my throat.. yuck! I have tried putting fruit in it and that does help. Good luck!

OK, the Medifast oatmeal isn't like the regular instant oatmeal you may be used to. It is more of a hot cereal. Try cooking it on the stove or microwave it in a large soup mug until it's really bubbling. (Some people soak it but I haven't tried that) Experiment w/the amount of water...I like mine thick so I use 5 oz. but others prefer it soupy & use more.
I use these added after it is cooked:

I just started this morning too! I also had the apple/cinnamon oatmeal. I let it sit for a bit and thicken. I also spinkled a pinch of pumpkin pie spice. It wasn't so bad. I've always enjoyed hot cereals so it was good. Does anyone know if the splenda brown sugar is allowed? I'll have to check it out... That would be good too.

Hey girl!
i did not really like my oatmeal either so i posted a few recipes that i found on the mymedifast website that i actually enjoyed. YOu shoukd check them out in the thread Medifast recipes! You can also make MF pancakes with them by mixing: 1 MF oatmeal 1/4 c of egg beater 2 or 4 T of water mix until you reach the desired consistency then pour on a hot griddle. It is pretty good (for a diet ;))! I put some ICBINB on mine with a little bit of WF sugar free strawberry spread! Oh and by the way, Fruits ARE NOT allowed on the plan! Just thought i would let you know so that it does not hurt your weight loss!!! |

thanks! Hey Flo! I'm gonna do this! I have to!!
P.S. What's soaking? |
Soaking means that you add the water and let the mix of the MF meal and the water sit on the counter for a while (like 20/30 minutes).
I hope this help ;) |

Thanks Sue! That is too bad. It's good. Oh well... |
I'm sending the oatmeal back. I have 4 boxes and i KNOW I won't be able to get them down... I'm exchanging them.
|
Have you tried the banana bread recipe or even the pancakes? I really use mine that way only!
|
I just eat regular oatmeal and I love it, I don't eat special oatmeal though, and I add a little fat free milk to mine.
