Ever since I overhauled my diet and made sure my gut was in great health, I have been the same way. It’s an awesome feeling, and lets you know that everything is functioning optimally. Upon finishing I stand up and yell “VICTORRRRRRRY”.

On a more helpful note to the OP, milled flax seed would be a great addition to your diet if you don’t already use 'em, as well as tons of veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach.

hey bro I was looking at some posts on diet and I see you eat quite a bit of fat in your diet. Do you feel it gives boosts in T levels at all? Or is it just how you prefer to eat.

OP, I had similar issues to you when eating a large amount of oats, but have found what the
issue most likely resulted from: letcins. If not cooked well enough (and with steel-cut
well enough is often not obtained), the lectins remain present in the oats, and can cause
great intestinal discomfort, diarrhea, gas, etc.

If you are truly cooking the oats thuroughly,
then it could just be adaptation (I have found this to be present when upping fiber). It may
take a while to get better, or you may need to reduce the fiber in you diet.

Oh, and to answer the question about RDA of fiber: 50+ grams for men.

On other topicsâ??

First: Oats are great, but vary your CHO sources, as others have recommended.

Second: Oats do spike insulin. In fact, if you look at insulin indexes rather than GIss
you will see oats have the SAME insulin index as white pasta. That being said, oats are
great, but they are not the end-all of CHO sources.

Third: I’m detecting a fat-phobia here. Not in terms of adipose, but rather dietary fats.
I urge you to read more on the subject of dietary fat, especially in weight trained
people.

Fat has such a long list of benefits that only extensive reading will do them justice.
This does not just apply to MUFAs and PUFAs, but also to Saturated fat as well. Don’t be afraid,
fat is your friend.

thanks bro for the info. Yeah I dont think I have been cooking them long enough. About 10 min on the stove? no wonder they hurt my gums and make my mouth sore! And yes I was afraid of fat until ive been reading if too high of fiber and low fat diets decrease test levels which made me say f*ck that. So i’m going to lower my oat intake and add another carb source…

Also I heard the lectins you are talking about actually move so quick through the intestines that they are responsible for binding to vitamins and minerals thus not allowing them to be absorbed and get passed through your system

I usually just get kroger brand, sometimes Quaker.

Musta been an older post, I’m eating high carb and low fat right now. No, I don’t think fat gives a boost in T levels to any quantifiable degree.

Thanks for the info. I dont think i’ve been cooking my oats long enough…is 10min enough on the stove? I might just try microwaving it since it’ less time consuming. How long do you put urs in for?

If you are eating quick oats or rolled oats I think that is more than enough time. I myself hate cooking oats, I prefer them raw. Although I have been eating oat groats lately and they have to be cooed. They taste better than any other type of oat in my opinion, better texture and a nutty flavor.

no i eat steel cut oats. I think i need a longer cooking time then 10min unless i want to grind them up in a shake, then that bypasses cooking them.

When in doubt consult Alton Brown on recipes

I too always passed a lot of gas (a LOT of gas) everytime I ate oats (or any other grains for that matter). I always thought it was normal to be that windy untill I stopped eating grains when I went low carb for the first time. All my gut troubles just vannished. Now I can’t even fart if I wanted to. :slight_smile:

I guess some people just can’t take oats and other grains well.

You could look for a book called: Fiber Menace. The writer also has some vids on youtube.

I just microwave mine in water. 1/2c @ 3 mins, 3/4 cup at 330, 1c at 4 mins.

Just gotta be careful, mine tend to overflow the bowl if I use more than 1/2 cup you gotta stop the microwave for a sec and stir it at about the 3 min mark.

hahahahaha, dude I used to eat almost no fiber and was going through toilet paper like crazy! Psyllium husk fiber is mixed in with my protein powder. It comprises 5% per pound of my mix. It’s a god send and I have barely had to wipe since.

well here’s why you DONT have a fiber issue. Psyllium husk is SOLUBLE fiber. The kind that people use if they have IBS or diarrhea issues. My oates have mostly insoluable…which makes you shit loads and not solid. Its used for relieving constipation, not a good thing when you’re having trouble keeping things solid as it is with alot of protein. So im going to have to buy some
