Thanks. What kind of muffin? Can I have regular muffins? I had been eating 1 slice whole wheat toast with peanut butter and a bannana in the mornings. I can't afford to get the steel cut oatmeal yet.
As for being able to afford steel cut oats - is there a store near you that has bulk food? I find my oats there for around $.80 a pound - much, much cheaper than those cans of oats that are $5 or more! Do some scouting around, I'm sure you'll be able to find them reasonably priced.

Do they give you diareaha? I ate some instant oats yesterday and today I had some bad diareaha. I was thinking I would ljust stick to my whole wheat toast and peanut butter.
Should I be drinking milk. I never drank it before.
I weighed myself today and weighed in at 234 lbs and my waist inch is 39. I was 244 2 weeks ago and 41 in the waist so I think I've done great. Yayyy me.
Oatmeal shouldn't cause that problem, but in general, the early days of this diet were pretty gassy for me - I increased my fiber too quickly and it took my body a couple of weeks to adjust.
You don't have to drink milk, but if you don't, make sure you are taking a multi-vitamin that includes calcium.
You should try to get one yogurt in a day - it needs to be low sugar and probiotic - Dannon Activa Light is ok and Breyers Light is as well. There are other good brands that may be more costly - it seems you're needed to stick to a budget, which can be a bit tougher when buying healthy, good quality foods. I find my Breyers at SuperWalMart for $.50 each.
sorry I misunderstood the question Mary,,,I read it as you were asking if it was ok to drink milk.....

I will try the yogurt. I use to get a lot of my calcium through cheese but I don't eat it now. I just seem to get nauseaus if I drink milk. What is probiotic?
