Oats,milk, cucumber and carrots..I ate all this in a less than a minute,my love for oats won't kill me.

I envy you.
Oat is something I can never get used to eating like this. The only way I eat oat is swallow. It is a very nice food. If you can get rolled oat, that's even better.

Maybe I have to come live with you

Sometimes I wonder why we keep on making pounded yam when we can easily make oat foofoo. Pounded yam is one of the deadliest food we eat as Nigerians. Number one cause of diabetics among people that it is their traditional food.

I decided to try this to see how it'll look like.

I really enjoy eating oats,it is my best food,I also enjoy oat swallow,it is better than garri,fufu and other swallow that are dangerous to the health. I remember then when I use to take eba,I would always feel heavy and lazy but with oat it is different,I feel light after taking it,the only downside is that it is expensive.
Most people don't care about their health,all they know is to eat anything that looks like food. If you tell them that pounded yam is bad,they will tell you that their forefathers ate it and lived to an old age but they forget that men of old worked hard on their farms from morning till night and most times they eat their food with lots of vegetables,and they take herbs from time to time.I just hope one day people will realize that what they eat plays a major role in how healthy you are.

Happy Sunday

mariahAngel you can have the fried plantain.

Liposure:
I commiserate with you

These sugar glazed doughnuts more than made up for the loss.

Oat is imported. I think that's why. But.......,

It can be mixed with corn flour( coarse)

I also pray we start eating right. Our health care is nothing to be proud of. We only help ourselves by eating healthy to stay healthy. Na began dey do medical tourism.

Hi! I was just stunned by all the photos that were posted here. I really like this. But I don't know how to cook. I love sweets very much and even tried to cook something myself, but I didn't succeed. And then I found a website and found out about chocolate and love: sea salt chocolate and was delighted with it. Because it's very tasty and now I want to give boxes to my friends all the time.

True and worst is the lack of portion control we do. You can see how huge the pounded yam, eba, fufu, amala, rice, beans etc we display - very unhealthy for us.
For example
1 slice of bread and a little bit of what ever you are eating with it is all every one's body need per meal.

Yet, one person can finish a bread loft with beans which is another carbs. Food for 3 meals are eaten at a meal setting. It is not true if you think you won't be satisfied eating a slice of bread, a tiny swallow, a tiny rice etc

I think this is the right place to do that - create awareness about food. Food is good - the nutrients are needed. Food can poison us overtime if one is not careful with portions.

1 small puff puff is enough not two or three
Coke and rice meal combo - very unhealthy.

Haba, 1 puff puff? wouldn't it be better to abstain completely? I mean the first 2 puff puff's na for testing lol. Before the real work start.

Or a your advising a certain class of people? Because me am looking to add weight sef

For everyone - anything more than 1 puff puff is too much no matter how slim you think you are.

Not only the sugar but the carbs content in 1 puff puff will shock you!

Abstaining is not the problem but how much / how many you are eating at a given setting.

It adds up overtime. We have to be careful with food

Hmm, okay. So am guessing bread is also very bad for our health then

Anything refined is - just watch out for portions.

I am struggling with portion control too. The body just need little and that's OK. The rest is stored as fat.
We eat like glutton and call it living large.
We will learn.
I even bought portion plate
In fact, let me get pictures here of what we are talking about

These 2 are more than 2000 calories. That's more than a man's body need in a day .
We have not added all these our orange flavoured drinks we call orange juice. A glass is more than 100 calories.
We will survive.
We always do.

To be honest, I’ve never really bothered to try to make it.
I prefer the authentic one mixed by the northerners, so I buy from them.
