A recent study, published in the journal Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism, has discovered that the best and the healthiest choice for breakfast would be the old-fashioned oatmeal. 

This study was conducted on 36 men and women. All of the participants in this study, consumed 350 calories, but they were divided in 3 different groups. Well, the first group consumed oat meal for breakfast. The second group consumed cornflakes and the third one didn’t eat breakfast – they just drank water.


The medical experts measured their state of satiety for the next three hours. All the participants gave blood samples in order to control their blood sugar and insulin levels at normal. 

All of the participants ate the same food for lunch. So, the medical experts proved their expectations. 

They found that the group of people who consumed oat meal was the least hungry through the morning and afternoon. This group consumed 31% less calories for their lunch. The medical experts also found that the oatmeal had beneficial effect in people with excess weight, as they ate 50% less calories for their lunch.

The second group of participants – the group of participants who consumed cornflakes already felt hungry 3 hours after the breakfast. And the third group – the group that drank water for breakfast was also hungry 3 hours after breakfast. 

The second group of people ate the same quantity of calories as the first group, and yet people felt hungry after 3 hours.
