I think I understand your question. You would like to lose some weight. Specifically you would like to burn some body fat. Hopefully you are already working out. The key to this nutritionally is the glycemic index. If you understand and use the glycemic index you will know the underlying value of things like the Carb Addicts diet, the Zone, Atkins, Ketogenic diet, paleolithic diet, etc. So start reading at the following site and learn about the glycemic index and glycemic load.
http://www.glycemicindex.com/

The glycemic index is a good place to start.
Adding certain vegetables to your meals will aid in fat loss actually.
The fiber in the vegetables will help to slow down absorption, keep blood sugars lower to have less impact on spiking insulin to store your meals as fat.
Controlling insulin when dieting is the whole idea behind the glycemic index and glycemic loading.
When dieting I still eat apples, berries, broccolli, asparagus, green beans, radishes, garlic, all these and many more will be very low in the GI.
Adding good fats like fish oils and apple pectin to your meals will serve a two fold purpose of lowering the glycemic load of that meal while also having numerous healthy bunefits associated with Omega 3 consumption and soluable fiber.
Cholesterol and triglyceride reduction for just one.
You are heading in the right direction if you are looking to lose bodyfat and using low GI vegetables.
Good man.

You are the first person I have ever heard of using the steele cut oatmeal.
I have known for some time that it was a superior oatmeal.
Impressive.
I read about along time ago but could never find it in Ralphs
, so I never bought it.How long do they take to cook headoc?
Don't even worry about the GI of foods. First, they mean hardly anything in light of the glycemic load. Secondly, the glycemic load means hardly anything in light of the insulin index, which it was thought to parallel. Turns out foods, for example milk, can be low/moderate on the GI/GL, but have a very high II. That is, they have a high insulin response despite their low GI/GL numbers. Which makes you wonder why you should even worry about GI/GL when it doesn't even accurately reflect the insulin response. Add to that the fact that mixing foods at a meal throws the whole thing off. Also, what you ate at your last meal effects the insulin response of the current meal. In short, the GI/GL/II are full of problems. Don't waste your time.
Instead, worry about what really matters: 1) cutting caloires, 2) keeping protein high, and 3) getting your EFA's (fish oil is great).
A low-carb diet can help you accomplish 1 and 2, but as long as you keep protein high, it makes essentially no difference if the rest of your calories come from carbs or fats. So look at food labels and focus on low-calorie eating.

I get mine at a local supermarket or Trader Joe's. They take about 30 minutes to cook. I cook them a gallon at a time and then reheat portions as needed. They have a great texture. Cover them in sugar free maple syrup. Of course I chase them with a few scoops of whey protein.
HeadDoc said:
That sounds tasty.
I never pay attenton to the GI of foods, it is almost irrelevant if you focus on eating mostly good, unprocessed foods, getting your protein, carb and fat ratio right, the timing of your meals, and most importantly counting and cutting calories if you want to lose fat or lose weght.

Interesting comments and the first time I have actually heard the GI/GL/II items. I have definitely read some HEATED debates here over GI and I must admit I do watch my carbs when I want to lose weight and that bloated stomach feeling but I also completely believe in the basic principal of calorie intake and calorie expenditure

Broccoli is low in carbs and total calories and has a low GI and one thing more:
It's a calorie negative food wich mean that the body needs more calories to digest it than the food provide by itself.
No it's not... The confusion is that fiber used to be thought of as providing the body with zero calories. Turns out not to be true. It provides 1.5-2 cal/g due to processing by the gut bacteria in the intestine.sammarbella said:

I heard Broccoli is good for cutting .. Don't know reason but i have been eating it for decades because i love it .. Steamed is best for me .. I also heard lettuce has fewer calories then body needs to digest it .. O YEAH wahts that stuff makes urine smell .. Asparagus .. yeah that is is one diet book i have and says it is great for cutting because speeds up metabolism when digesting more than other foods .. I can send anyone that diet too i've sent it to many people it's just very long like 300 pages but damn good IMO .. I will have to send to you conciliator .. Maybe you read it before but if not you might like it .. Seems to know your shit about diet but i think you will still be interested in it ... Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle .. That's the name if you never read it let me know i will send email .. just let me know when you get the other email ..

asparagus is one of the best vegetables for dieting. It contains alot of fiber which slows down digestion and keeps insulin levels low and constant. It is also a diuretic which means you will be able to see more of your hard work instead of it being hidden with a layer of water. It does make your urine smell strange but who really cares. You can nuke it or stir fry it or bake it. It is one of the best vegetables for dieting.
