Asante's Easy Afro-European Diet Breakfast Porridge
    #24820594 -

Trying an alternative breakfast to do away with 3 slices of bread, a variation on oatmeal porridge I conjured up:


Asante's Easy Afro-European Diet Breakfast Porridge

Oatmeal...30gr
Sorgum....30gr
Water.....400ml
Butter.....10gr
Xylitol.....6gr
Salt........1gr

1...Bring the water to a boil
2...Add oatmeal/sorghum/xylitol/salt mix
3...Stir, blast with immersion blender, stir for several min.
4...Stir in the butter.
5...Pour, cool, eat.

Oatmeal Porridge is recommended in dietary circles as a bread replacement, much healthier profile featuring lots of soluble fiber which slows digestion and increases satiation.
Sorghum Porridge is a traditional African staple food, a low glycemic index grain containing enzymes that slow the absorption of starches , thus creating more intense and prolonged satiation and even diminished glycemic index.
Xylitol is a naturally occurring "sugar alcohol" like glycerin that has 40% of the calories of sugar and which acts as a calcium transporter in thre body, actually strengthening teeth and bones and preventing caries. It costs about $10 a kilo online and can be used in doses at up to an ounce a day as a 1:1 replacement for sugar because its 90% as sweet and its taste is a very close match. It can be used in baking (heat resistant up to 160'C).

Sorghum-Oatmeal Porridge = Lembas? :yesnod:

Texture is really rich porridge, darker brown because of the whole wheat sorghum flour, its a thich porridge with half dissolved kernels of oatmeal. Taste is delicious, seriously you could market this stuff and it would SELL! This truly tastes better than either of the two porridges separately!

When I say butter I mean cow butter by the way, don't swap it out with margarine and then go I Can't Believe It's Not Delicious. The moment you stir the dissolving butter through the hot porridge and you smell what wafts off the cooking pot, you know you did the right thing.

I have hit the jackpot, the sum is greater than the parts :rockon:

Now let's see how it behaves in satiation and excretion.

Make sure dogs don't get any xylitol.  It will spike their insulin and crash their blood sugar.

That deserves DEFINITE emphasis, xylitol is toxic to dogs and many other animals, just not to humans because our bodies handle it differently.

I've just been doing cereal in the morning.  Usually also a banana.  Waiting on some avocados to ripen.  I enjoy avocado on toast.

Whole grain cereal, and granola.

I have a problem with weight on meds.  Just one med but it totally changes my existence with comforts.

So far so good, I spent a quiet afternoon of 5 hours duration without any food additions, and zero hunger until now, bridging the lunch -> dinner gap while skipping the mid-afternoon bite. Looks like reality matches my theory, in that the enzymes within the Sorghum covered the starch of the Oatmeal too, and that the bulking/gelling effect of the soluble fiber in the Oatmeal decreased digestion further and caused a more filling effect. Sorghum porridge is famed for causing a longer satiation than wheat/corn porridge (4-5h vs 2-4h) and this mixed porridge sure delivered - stabilizing blood sugar all afternoon. High fuel efficiency.

A skipped meal passed unnoticed. The abundence of soluble fiber should make this porridge easy to pass on the other end.

Looks like my morning bread got canceled in favor of Asante's Easy Afro-European Diet Breakfast Porridge



Cereal is notorious for fattening effects, it has a high glycemic index so it makes blood sugar spike fast, at which point insuline is released to turn the blood sugar into stored fat, maybe look into oatmeal, sorghum or this hybrid, which tastes better than either IMHO and combines the soluble fiber of the one with the enzymes of the other.

Let's us know how it all pooped out.

Seems some diets just don't pass thru right.

It pooped out allright :laugh: Oatmeal has lots of soluble fiber which acts as a stool softener and bowel lubricant. Yeah, dieting and regularity are not a happy marriage, partuicularly since you're taking the tension ourt of your abdominal cavity by dropping weight.
