oatbran

[Heidi3]

is allowed at any level isn't it? I made a pancake this morning and this stuff kicks flax butt !!!....I know I read it was ok but can not remember where? was it the book?.....it was just toasted oatbran nothing added from TJ's...

Wheatbran is ok at any stage. I have used that before, in pancakes and liked it. But I have not read anything about oatbran, I can go check my book though...hold on.

I looked in my book and thought that was where I had seen it but can not find it now!....figures well I ate the pancake it was so much better texture and taste wise and it came out in fitday as 7 net carbs so I am thinking that is fine it was huge and I am stuffed!!!

Gotta check but I think oat bran is mentioned as a fiber supplement in Dr. ATkins Vitanutrient Solution.

It is relatively high in carbs---1 ounce raw has something like 18 or 20 total carbs with about 4 fiber grams.

I just checked nutrition labels and it is pretty high carb and not nearly as much fiber as wheat bran.

however, I say, I hope you enjoyed your pancake it certainly isn't going to "kill" your WOE!

thanks for checking I swear I saw it someplace!! anyway I only use a little under a tbl in the recipe so the whole recipe is pretty darn low in carbs..and it is a good water soluable fiber so I am going to use this bag up and not worry about it...life is to short to worry about oat bran!....wheat bran tastes like horse feed to me..that and flax are on my list of things I can live with out...kind of like you and tomatoes!!! I LOVE tomatoes!!!

it is in the OWL rung 9 add backs as an eat frequently food

not a fiber supplement recomended for constipation by the good doc

it is very very good for your cholesterol though
oat fiber is what was in Nullo reciped and that is different as that is what used to be left on the milling floor as chaffe sp?

Ok so I skipped to rung 9.....crap..well I am going to keep it in my diet ...I do not have constipation!!! LOL.....I eat a lot of veggies...more than I will ever honestly admit to on this board....but only the ones on the list!!!...and I drink tons of water....I feel better thinking I am some how evening things out with all the fat I am eating if I add oat bran!!! and considering I think Flax is disgusting and as I mentioned wheat bran tastes like cattle food....I think I will walk the tight rope with the oatbran ..maybe I will call it a nut!!!...kidding!!!....thanks so much you guys that helped I am sticking with just a tbl a day
