Quoted from Healthline, there are two phases of undergoing diey oatmeal.
Phase 1
Eat oatmeal three times a day for the first week. You are only allowed to consume oatmeal with whole grain ingredients and not instant oatmeal. Pair with eggs or fruit and green vegetables such as broccoli as a side dish.
Phase 2
In the second week, you are only allowed to consume wheat porridge once or twice a day. Add more fruits and vegetables as a side dish to your oatmeal breakfast. Avoid using sugar as a flavoring, replace it with natural honey, plain yogurt or low-fat milk.
During this phase you should reduce your intake of foods high in fat and calories. Replace these fatty and calorie foods with healthier ones such as fresh fruit snacks or nuts.
In phase 2, you get a little freedom to eat foods at night other than oatmeal. However, you should still consume foods that are low in calories but high in protein such as grilled chicken, fish, lean meats, and potatoes.
Even though you have been on an oatmeal diet with healthy and low-calorie side dishes, you should still do exercise. Without exercise, fat burning will not be optimal. Do exercise that suits your body and increase your intake of water.
