Is quaker oats the same as oats bran??????????????????

[preciouschild]

Hi people, thank you for this web site it's really helping me. I started the dukan on monday and i am on day 4 of attack but it's not going well, i am craving carbs so much that i could even eat pasta out of the bin:cry:.
I don't know if i have lost any weight yet but i have three days until cruise.
i am taking quaker oats i am not sure if it is the same as the oats bran, please help.
thank you

no it's not the same stuff. you want oatbran not porridge oats. tesco do an own brand, or you can buy mornflake oatbran in sainsburys or waitrose. no wonder you're hungry, you're eating loads of carbs in those oats!

no ...... they are not the same and will not be helping in any way shape or form this could also be why you are craving carbs
oatbran is very fine and a byproduct not oats ....you can get it at a healthfood shop or some super markets mornflake do it .....but it must say oat bran ........ oatbran swells up to 10x its size and gives you a full feeling oats are high carbs
you need to get this and then up your protein levels then you will not feel hungry

thank you so much, i think i need to restart the attack stage again, although i have been eating quaker oats i was really happy i lost 4kg, i know that's just water and i can't really see where it's gone, i am really happy, i will start again, tomorrow off to tesco......
