When we were kids,and have fever,our mother will soak the oats in water ,then cook it in chicken brother,beat up an egg to add texture,this is how I eat my oatmeal now,I use instant oatmeal.

Look for peanut butter made only with peanuts, no sugar or oils. Even Walmart carries it, and so does Trader Joes.

I confess that I prefer the taste of the sweetened stuff I grew up on, but no longer buy it.

I love all hot cereals but can't eat them at all, just spikes my BG.

I've been buying Crazy Richards peanut butter, like the salt free chunky but others are natural as well. I like just peanuts not all that crappy extra oils, salts, sugars.

a lot of brands that call themselves natural peanut butter take out the expensive peanut oil and sell it and put back palm oil instead

PS: I do like peanut butter. A little of that stuff won't hurt you.

I agree 100%. The grains "thing" is a scam and always has been and so is the food pyramid thing which touts the grains. All promoted by certain industries. The sugar is a no brainer. I have come to love peanut butter myself. No bread, I just eat a few spoonfuls. I also insist it has to be natural. Nothing but peanuts. It's surprisingly low in net carbs this way if you figure in the fiber. It has a natural sweetness to it with no sugar added.

if they ever found out peanut butter is no good for you i am a dead man .

i actually use peanut butter almost every day on the 647 bread which is that low net carb bread .

i test very well with one slice or their 647 buns and english muffins ..very high fiber products

And your olive oil is not olive oil or a facsimile thereof. Unless you go and pick and squeeze the olives yourself you have to be a detective to figure it out.

Oatmeal seems to not affect my blood sugar in any way (accoriding to my CGM), so we often have it for breakfast.
