I should eat oatmeal more...I do like it. I started adding powdered peanut butter to the oats as both a flavor and protein boost, and it's quite tasty!
Adding peanut butter powder and some Fairlife chocolate milk. Wow is that delicious but wow did it also jack up my BG and pack on more unwanted weight.
Probably a simple, stupid question. As I keep track of my A1c and glucose numbers, I am conscious of my carbohydrate intake. I'm confused about old fashioned oatmeal though.
Old fashioned oatmeal with a scoop of peanut butter has been my morning breakfast staple for years. Are the carbs from the old fashioned oatmeal doing my glucose numbers more harm than the good it does for my cholesterol?
Plain Old Fashioned Oats has 27 grams of carbohydrate for a 1/2 cup serving.
I add some raisans to mine.
I have checked my blood sugar after that and it has been well within parameters.
i hate oatmeal so to me it doesn’t matter , i won’t eat it
but jason whittrock did test steel cut oats on tick tock
another interesting test was to see if he combined eating 4 eggs fried in bacon grease first before eating the oatmeal if combining the fats and protein would matter .
he got the same exact spike on the oatmeal only it delayed about an hour from the oatmeal alone .
same thing eating a red apple vs apple and peanut butter , it merely delayed the same spike

Jason Whittrock's blood sugar went from 90 mg/dl to 135 mg/dl, and it appeared to go back to 90 mg/dl after an hour or so. That's a normal response after eating a meal...and from what I'm reading, it's actually kind of on the low end.

i spike much higher even from steel cut oats . remember jason isn’t diabetic .
