A very informative video, but I'd like to add: - If your blood sugar spikes after eating whole oats, it could be because you are using oat milk. Oat milk is an ultra-processed oat product, where enzymes are used to degrade the starches and soluble fibers. Drinking oat milk is similar to drinking a can of coke. In addition, ensure that you are not using a commercial oatmeal product that is loaded with sugar.. - Beta-glucans and polyphenols in oats not only coat the intestinal lining, they have 2 additional mechanisms of lowering blood sugar. 1. they increase the viscosity in the intestine, which leads to slower diffusion of starches, which leads to slower enzymatic processing by glucosidases and amylases, and 2. they physically bind to (sequester) glucosidases and amylases, thus preventing them from binding to starches to degrade them.
Reduce the cook time of steel cut by soaking in boiled water over night. Measure out oats put into a container like a bowl or jar. Add equal vol of boiled water. Once cool, put in fridge over night (will last a few days). Heat for about 5 minutes with more water to desired consistency. Serve with toppings as desired. Fresh berries, diced dried fruits, almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, flax seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves are delicious and give you a more rounded meal. If you add enough water while heating, don't need milk of any type. Enjoy!
I have the Flahavens oats, I make with water but add chia seeds, Linwoods flaxseed and nuts, some prunes or berries and kefir. Fills me up until lunch.
Me too as muesli with literally more than 20 different seeds nuts berries with organic whole live plain yoghurt, kefir and whole milk. Eat like a Queen for breakfast . Expensive but I only eat 2 times a day and often fast overnight for 15, 16 hours.
What you failed to mention in your excellent video is that, nearly all Oats are sprayed just prior to harvesting with a fungicide. This is to aid Storage, true Organic Oats are not sprayed whatsoever. Flahavans are unique in this category.
Oat groats (which are the grain with the husk removed and not cut or rolled) can be soaked in water overnight, drained & then eaten with yogurt,berries. They are chewy because they are the kernel! This is the lowest glycemic index version of oats if one is Prediabetic/Diabetic (tho some may still find even the groats spike blood sugar too much)
Flahavan's make a product called Organic Jumbo Oats, which are larger and thicker. I find they take about 10-12 minutes to cook using just water. I also add some fresh apple and mixed seeds along with nutmeg, ginger and sweet cinnamon. I've not experienced a sugar high from this breakfast and it does keep me going for nearly 8 hours.
I eat those as muesli most days and was just rereading info on pack which sounds seductive. It says that the outer layer is used to burn and that heat steams them. Does that mean that we are getting a more refined, processed product. Anyway I have only just started listening so hope dr elucidates.
I eat that product too. I cover with a bit of boiling water and let them soak for a minimum of 5 minutes before cooking them on the hob. I mainly cook in water, if you stir continuously it makes it creamy, I do add a small amount of almond milk near the end of cooking.

True Ceylon Cinnamon . No other type. 40 g. Organic Ginger No Sugar. Sweeteners. Honey, Fruit etc. Mix the above thoroughly and place into the container. Dispense 1Cup of mixed Oats to 2 cups of cold water. If this makes too much use smaller cup or portion of cup. Keep to 2:1 ratio unless you prefer a thinner porridge. I use a 900 watt microwave & cook for 3 min 50 secs Adjust for your appliance. You will not need any sweetener as this is perfectly palatable as is. Note: long term use of non organic Ceylon Cinnamon is not good for you, Ceylon Cinnamon is perfectly safe. The ground Cinnamon & Ginger is readily available from Amazon.
Love this. New subscriber! I have a question about granola. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. I think I know the answer but is there a way to have the healthy oats in a granola or toasted form for a quick yogurt brekkie? Is there a heldthy granola option to buy? 😅🙏
Sounds tasty and healthy Which I might try to replace my 2 scrambled eggs, 4 bacon,2 sausages ,2 hash brown and baked beans. I can only guess your shopping bill is quite high.

QUAKER Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats are more processed. I tried it and it wasn't like proper steel cut oats. I have been buying steel cut oats fro Bulk Barn. Literally cut oats, like broken chunks. I like that they cost the same as regular rolled (processed) oats. Real Canadian Supper Store has a few options but they are significantly more expensive than Bulk Barn. I add oat bran, ground flax seed, and sunflower seeds to my partially cooked steel cut oats. I then finish cooking the combination.
I assumed organic rolled oats cooked in soya based drink and topped with peanut butter and spouted flax seeds were the perfect breakfast. I'm curious to try pin head oats but the longer cooking time is keeping me from trying. What about prepare them in bulk and reheat in the morning? Do they maintain their good properties this way?
@stephano.. as Carylee above suggest.. soak your oats (especially steel cut oats) overnite with boiling water preferably in a mug, close lid. 1scoop to approx 250ml water (heat up in morning with soy milk to a preferred consistency). No wait time at all n super easy. The oats are fully cooked n still slightly warm. I include bit quinoa n chia seeds to oats before adding boiling water. Morning add whatever seeds, etc etc u like. Hope this helps. Not sure how pin head oats looks like.. I'm assuming cud be like steel cut?
Why are healthy people so worried about blood sugar spikes? It's completely normal and the body can release insulin to control it.. as for healthy people paying to wear a cbgm is ridiculous 😂 eat your oats folks but not those silly instant flavoured oats. Add some chia seeds or flaxseed etc
Is there any benefit to eating rolled oats without cooking them? My go to breakfast is yoghurt, nuts, seeds, berries, kefir, and rolled oats, hoping it's been a good choice!
All oats will spike your blood sugar. Diabetics on RUclips have tried all the different oats,and they all spike blood sugar more or less the same. And oats give me stomach cramps,so not good for my stomach. The health benefits of oats are a myth. But they need to sell that stuff some how.
Probably the ' healthiest ' cereal you can eat though. I have a couple of bowls a week and add pre soaked nuts and a knob of butter. Most of the rest of the time i'm carnivore.
Nah you won't live much past 70 anyway 80 odd if your strong . it's in scripture Psalm 90:10 The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
I just eat vegetables and black beans for breakfast, influencers need to stop caving in wow, oats are not a good meal, just grow up, embrace science, and eat some damn veggies and beans as a meal. Tradition will kill you.

To try a sample use.

1 tsp CeylonCinnamon
1 tsp Ginger
2 cups Water
M/wave for 4 mins at 900 watts

I.e. not cooked at all, so slow absorption rate & poss less insulin spike

I usually have Flahavans with whole milk eaten cold without any cooking. How does not cooking the oats make a difference?
Do you soak it in milk overnight- that makes it very yummy. I add blueberries & sugar- free peanut butter ( can’t digest whole nuts)
Every morning I have
2 organic eggs
1 slice organic sourdough bread
Half an organic avocado
Organic rocket
Organic olives
Overnight organic jumbo oats, mixed with organic kefir and chia seeds. 15g organic blueberries and 15g organic raspberries.
1 organic coffee

Eat meat eggs butter and ghee ribeye steak
always able to find steel cut in US grocery stores
