I do not add sugar or fruit. I add cinnamon and a little maple syrup. I cannot combine fruit with a carb product; so cinnamon and maple syrup were recommended by a dietician!! Plus that way of eating oatmeal is for a person who wants to get rid of some extra pounds, a Fibromyalgia person, and someone who needs to be on a food combination diet.

The vegetables that are difficult to eat raw should be steamed until al dente, or used in a vegetable soup. Never, ever use the microwave to cook or reheat as it destroys a lot of nutrition in foods.

One thing people should keep in mind though is that they want to consume oatmeal that is sugar-free. I know many of my clients believe that eating a serving of oatmeal prepackaged with maple and sugar is a great way to start off their day. Unfortunately, that is not the type of oatmeal we're talking about. That being said, you can easily sweeten up that plain oatmeal with fresh fruit, as you've mentioned. This combination is a powerful tool in health and as an added bonuse, weight loss. Oatmeal is truly one of the kings of nutrition, and you’ve given many of the main reasons why.

Why not just pour some sugar on it or hot fudge? Well, I guess if you do not care about your health or athletic performance. Here is another small piece of advice that few people know; you do not have to cook oats, they can be eaten or blended raw! If you do decide o cook them, instead of using water, try coffee or tea, you'll be adding caffeine and some flavor. Butter and Maple Syrup? Why not just pour some sugar on it or hot fudge?
