Not all oatmeals are the same
I often have oatmeal for breakfast. I would typically take my oats with honey or milk or yoghurt or banana.
While having oats first thing in the morning is a healthy
option, oats that are heavily processed are BAD for you.
Processed oats are bad for you as it's
packed with artificial ingredients, coloring, flavours and sugar. Processed oats also have a significantly higher glycemic index than regular
"old
fashioned oatmeal" due to its instant nature where it's been pre-cooked
via high-heat processing. This high heat processing also diminishes many important vitamins and minerals, making it less nutritious.
If you're going to have oats, please stay away from the instant,
processed, sugar-laden versions. Instead, choose the plain ol' steel cut oats. Yes, they may take a few minutes longer to cook, but it's certainly worthwhile and better for you as it has a lower glycemic index, packed with
extra fiber and has greater vitamin and mineral nutritional values. Besides, steel cut oats will also leave you feeling fuller longer. Taste wise, you'll probably
find its firmer texture and nuttier flavour a lot more interesting and palatable than the
mushy texture of instant oatmeal.

Top 5 muscles women love!
IMHO, most men workout at the gym to look good for one reason and one reason only...to attract the ladies! ;-)
So, which are the muscles that attract and turn women on the most?
#1. Abs
This is voted the sexiest body part and women just love washboard stomach. The ripples of the abs makes women wet (in the mouth and other areas too! LOL!)! Men should strive for six-pack and not a goody pack (yes, please go easy on alcohol especially beer!)! If you can't achieve rock-hard abs or six-pack, you should at least have a flat stomach.
#2. Hips and butt
Interestingly, women like narrow hips with a built butt. Apparently women like holding men's hips when having sex...(think love handles!) ;-P
#3. Biceps
Guns! Show me those guns! Women like the sight of big and well-defined biceps especially when men are in short sleeve tees or shirts. They feel the guns up there will awe them the same way as their gun down there! Also, big and well-defined biceps indicate that you're taking good care of your body. If you can take good care of your body, chances are you'll take good care of the ladies too.
#4. Chest
Perfectly square pectorals are part of the whole image women have conjured up in their fantasy-filled daydreams. While women can simply enhance their busts with push-ups and padded bras, we men have to work hard (and often for long hours) for ours (ouch!).
#5. Shoulders
Women love well-defined and broad shoulders because they signify masculinity. Also, a body with broad shoulders and a small waist gives the sexy "V" illusion, which immediately turns women on.
I'm genetically gifted in my legs and they are large, defined, strong and powerful without much training. Unfortunately, legs didn't make the list above :-(
Thank god I still have at least my guns to show off! ;-P
