Eating oatmeal can spike bloodstream sugar levels if you choose instant oatmeal with added sugar or consume too much at once. However viewers don’t listen to everyone on the internet go do your own research You can read more on the site national institute of health about how it reduces insulin response. And how great it ACTUALLY is. And if you measure your oats with a scale most people reading this probably have ate 4 servings every meal thinking there eating healthy and they ain’t: lol Also if the oatmeal that you can cook in 1 minute will spike your levels because it breaks down faster and gets converted quicker but they actually make another oat called steel cut oats which take longer to cook and break down slower so you won’t have the issues you’re having maybe? Worth a try if you miss em.
Yeah I agree with you instant oatmeal should skip, the Plain Oatmeal Quaker oats and store brand In the large canister, raw honey 🍯 and peanut butter and caramel syrup with fresh fruit.
I seem to poop better after stopping oatmeal. But its possible I was just eating way too much of it 1.25 - 1.5 cups every morning on top of hemp seeds, chia, flax, blueberries and dates
@@vacaloca5575 Really? You think that makes sense? A food known for being slow digesting with a GI of like 40 (without the milk that lowers it even more) is going to give people insulin resistance? Do you think apples give you insulin resistance too? Because apples have an insulin spike comparable to oatmeal.
@@RmnGnzlz Well, you'd be surprized at what gives insulin resistance. It also depends on your age and activity level. If you are a young athlete, you probably won't get it from eating a bowl of regular sugar-free oatmeal every day, but if you are over 50 and sedentary, then you might, especially, when the oatmeal is mixed with other carbs such as the lactose in milk or the sugars in the fruits you add to it. On the GI for regular (not instant) oatmeal, you may want to check again, as I get 55 when I google it, and that's a bit too high for some people, especially, for those with metabolic problems. I don't think fruits eaten by themselves give insuline resistance in healthy people, but for those who already have it, the combination of different carbs and even different types of fruits at the same meal may make it impossible for them to regain insuline sensitivity. It all depends where your are.
Yeah, I gave that up as well. I know you are joking but grains produce too many cytokines which cause inflammation. I just have potato vodka and 5 calorie cranberry (zero carbs) when I indulge so no bloating there as well.
@@thinkingoutloud675it must be some intolerance you guys have. Because I’ve been eating it since 2015 for weight loss and now for maintenance and it gets me lean. Perhaps you shout add some fats like chia seed, nut butter and fruit, alternative sweetener to sugar (if you haven’t been doing so already). Otherwise just avoid it, but oats are great for most people.

you are absolutely correct ! Thanks for making video on this issue. I use to eat near about 150 to 200gm oats for my carb intake. I use to feel sleepy all the time and also i use to have puffy face everytime. No one on youtube have ever talked about this because they havent experienced such and just google the information. But thanks to you that you told truth. Love from 🇮🇳 India
So strange to me that everyone saying oats keep them regular. I find they do the opposite for me, they constipate. Especially oat bars. If i want them, i eat them with fruit mixed in to help digest them
I weigh less than I did before I ever got pregnant five months postpartum from eating fruits, veggies, meat, and lots of oatmeal with Chia seeds, whole milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Sometimes I’ll also have blueberries or watermelon. Oats are great for you.
That's great and I am happy that you lost weight. Just understand there is a difference between weight loss and actual fat loss. I am no longer going to eat oats because it is truly not necessary for optimal health and physique. If you want to eat them then keep eating them, it is part of your belief system.
Oatmeal does not build muscle and you should eat whole eggs, not egg whites because you cannot digest protein efficiently without fat. That is why ALL animal protein contains fat!
Just curious.....you said you stopped eating it because it wasn't helping build muscle. But what if building muscle wasn't the goal but rather, keeping a trim figure was the main goal and keeping the weight down? Would you still recommend giving up oatmeal?
If your goal is to lose body fat (big difference between losing fat & weight) then I would avoid oatmeal since it is a carb. Eating too many carbs leads to fat gain because insulin (which is needed to process all carbs & sugars) will push sugars & carbs to the muscles, liver or fat cells. If you have plenty of glucose in the muscles & liver then the only place to store excess carbs is the fat cells. People falsely believe that just being in a calorie deficit causes fat loss which is very misleading.
Thank you so much for replying and for the great advice. I'll have to dig deeper into this. You have me intrigued and also even more curious, especially on what you said about there being a difference between losing body fat and losing weight. Not at all trying to sound dumb here but I didn't think or realize that there was a difference between the two. Just one last question and I'll quit buggin' ya. If you recommend quitting the oatmeal, what would you recommend I replace it with? What foods should I lean towards instead if the goal is to keep the weight down?
@@brutus0329 The difference between losing weight & body fat is that weight loss can mean anything (losing water weight, burning off of carbs & worse yet which I see all the time burning muscle tissue), just because the scaled says there is less weight doesn't mean it was body fat plus muscle weights more than fat so the scale can be very misleading. It is your body composition (lean muscle to fat ratio) that you should be looking for improvement. If you want to lose fat, you have to manage carb intake, not fat intake. Carbs are only needed to replenish the muscles & liver for energy, they do not build muscle. My typical breakfast is 6 whole eggs cooked in coconut oil or 5 whole eggs & 2 strips of bacon. People do not realize that 50% of the protein you take in converts to glucose (same as carbs) but do not require insulin to rise much & that will allow you to burn more fat as your main energy source. You can only burn one energy system at a time, glucose or fat.
can't confirm. I eat oatmeal every day (sometimes, only oatmeal the entire day). Since the end of winter, I increased sports, eat salted oatmeal; Yes, salt is needed if you lose, let's say, 3 kg sweat while doing sports. Ach .... "oatmeal increases your insulin level". Yeah, because YOU ADD SUGAR ???
@@imansylwia-of6nv if you look closely, you will notice these signs: " ... which I put around "oatmeal increases your insulin level". which could indicate it's a potential quote from the original video. listen to the video about > 50% length. thanks for letting me know that you don't agree with me. it's a wonderful, valuable piece of information, which enriches my wisdom.
The bloating comes from oats being combined with a carb which is alkaline in nature combined with protein which is acidic in nature. This creates gas in the intestinal system and the bloating effect.
Same here until I tried the organic sprouted oatmeal made a huge difference however there's still a fine line you don't need much 1/3 cup with a touch of raw organic honey pre workout just enough to get that rush halfway through workout I'm back in ketosis, I keep my carbs at 50g a day with high protein and high fat
Hey, thanks for commenting. One of the things you may want to consider is to have a DNA Methylation test done (only need it once) to see what genetic mutations you got from your parents that are affected by how you absorb nutrients. Oatmeal can cause rapid changes in blood sugar which can trigger a migraine, you have a Avenin sensitivity which can cause coeliac-like responses like headaches or you are just sensitive to that type of food. You may want to try some all natural grits (not fortified or enriched with folic acid) to see how you respond. Hope that helps.
Anytime you eat 5 more grams of carbohydrates, insulin is needed to process the carbs into glucose to store in the muscles & liver. Any excess that cannot go into the muscles & liver will be stored as fat.
I still eat carbs just more strategically so that I burn fat as my main source of energy. When staying low carb I just focus on eating protein and fat because it does not require insulin so I will burn fat. Once you have a good amount of carbs (5 grams or more) then your energy system will switch to burning glucose because of the insulin rising.
Hey, thanks for commenting. I am not a fan of any oats (I have tried them all) at this point (ate them for years) and see really no benefit to continue eating them.
I have tried them all, doesn't matter. You can eat oatmeal if you feel it is important. Not necessary based on my experience of eating it for about 10 years.
I also think people can drink 1 soda a day if they're active and not have negative effects. I drank one real sugar no corn syrup soda a day at lunch and was under weight 😅
There is no nutritional value in drinking soda so I no longer drink it. If it is something you really enjoy and want to drink it daily, just understand it is doing nothing for your health.
But does it really keep your insulin levels elevated if the purpose is simply to eat it for energy before a workout. Won't you burn the carbs at the gym
If you are looking to burn fat then eating carbs has to be regulated because when you have 5 grams of carbs or more, insulin has to come to process them. When this happens, fat burning is shut off until the insulin clears. Now if you are leaner and want to have carbs then that it different. Sure you will burn the carbs at the gym but you burn glucose no matter what when you are training. My point is that it is an overrated food source and causes a lot of bloating for me and most of my clients.
I add oatmeal when making a meal replacement shake along with some creatine and scoop of protein. Last yr helped me control my appetite and along with moderate exercise lost 40+lbs.
@@aeckelbarger welp, i dropped from 300lbs to near 255 and went from 42 waist to 36.

@@jaekamacho1416 Okay, thanks for the reply. If you really want to lose body fat, you need to control your carb intake, especially starchy carbs. Why? Because if you want to burn fat, you need to get insulin out of the way since your body only uses one energy source at a time. Every time you have carbs with a meal, insulin has to rise to help process the carbs/sugars & insulin is a FAT storage hormone. You do not burn fat and glucose at the same time. Once insulin is out of the way, you will burn fat after you have burned off the current level of glucose reserves. If you eat carbs at every meal, the only way you will burn any fat is when you are sleeping because insulin is out of the way & your hormones use cholesterol (fat) to repair & rebuild cells. Try only having some carbs in the evening or every 3-4 days & see what happens.
@@aeckelbargerthanks boss, i appreciate the info 🙏🏼 Im always open to trying new ways to help me improve myself. Ill look into it for sure and make a plan
Too much dietary fat is what causes high blood sugar and high insulin when you eat carbs. I eat very high carb very low fat, 75-90% calories from carbs and 1-10% fat and when Iast tested my fasting insulin was 2.3. a1c 5.0 and fasting glucose 73.
Yeah, I did that high carb low fat diet for probably 25 years, what a waste of time and effort that was, trying to eat 4-6 times a day which is totally unsustainable and hard on your digestive system. Dietary fat has nothing to do with high blood sugar, not sure where you are getting that research from. I cycle carbs only as needed to replenish the muscles and liver. The problem with a high carb diet like you are doing is insulin is elevated all the time which also causes inflammation and eventually leads to insulin resistance. I focus on protein and fat because that is what is ideal for hormones (they need cholesterol to rebuild cells), maintaining and building muscle. Carbs do not build muscle, they are simply an energy source that can be stored as fat very easily if you consume to many via insulin. Not sure what your age is but I am 60 years old and my fasting insulin is 2.4 and A1C 4.8. The good news is that you at least know what numbers to look at.
@aeckelbarger why is my fasting insulin only 2.3 then? I also almost never have to eat more than 2 high carb meals a day. No blood sugar spikes and crashes.
@@dj-fe4ck Well... in your case you are not overdoing like most people are by eating 4-6 high carb meals. Two carb meals a day is not bad, so congrats on that. You want low insulin for longevity.
@aeckelbarger But I'm not calorie restricting. I eat on average 2500-3000 calories a day. I just eat most of those calories in 1 or 2 meals. If I also eat a meal of only greens or non starchy veggies I dont count that as a high carb meal since they have almost no calories. I eat a lot more carbs and a lot less fat than the standard American diet. There are also many people who have also reversed insulin resistance eating high carb low fat.
I am not a fan of bulking since all you are doing is adding excess body fat from eating too many carbs. Carbs do not build muscle, they provide energy. What builds muscle is protein & fat. Eating too many carbs creates too many issues that are not even healthy. You just need enough to reload the muscles & liver for good energy & strength. If you like oatmeal for a carb then go with that, I no longer believe the hype of how good oatmeal is for health, especially heart health which is just straight our crap. Quaker contributes to the American Heart Association to get them to say that.
But they say you need to bulk and eat lots of carbs to build muscle faster !! And I’m a skinny guy too. What should I do to build muscle faster. And if I can only eat carbs to get energy what can I eat other than oat and how much should I consume per day or per workout?
@@salmanzakani5572 Well... I weighed 120 lbs coming out of high school at 5'5" (grew 2" in college) so I had a fast metabolism. You need to focus on quality protein (amino acids to make muscle tissue) & fats (hormones need fat to rebuild cells) because that is what builds muscle. Use the carbs for restoring glycogen to the muscles & liver. I weigh 172 lbs now (I am 60 years old) so I focus on trying to get 170 grams of protein a day. Quality protein (animal protein) already has fat built into because you need fat to help digest & break down the protein (that is why mother nature made it that way) into amino acids. Not sure what your weight is so I would say if you have a fast metabolism that 2,500-3,000 calories a day is a goal to start with to see how you respond. Also, to build muscle, you need to learn how to train properly (just doing straight sets & resting isn't going to cut it) to break down muscle & then let it repair & adapt to the stress you put it under. Just eating a lot of food is not going to give you quality muscle mass is my point. There is much more to it, I know since I have been training for over 40 years & have put on as much as 67 lbs of muscle naturally (zero drugs) doing my lifetime. Hope that helps.
If you are bloated from eating oatmeal. More likely, you're not drinking enough water. Dehydration can lead to constipation and bloating. Up that water intake, brothers and sisters. 😊
I ate oatmeal religiously for 10 years believing all the nutrition hype (which is vastly overstated) and drank plenty of fluids. Dehydration had nothing to do with it for me.
@@jacobz2269 Sugar is no good bro stay away from it. I put bananas and blueberry and two spoons of organic vanilla yogurt. That’ll sweeten it for you. And that has some sugar in it so you don’t have to add any. Also never forget the cinnamon.
I assume when you say you want to gain weight, you are referring to muscle? If so, what builds muscle is protein & fats, carbs are used to reload the muscles & liver to provide quality energy which can help with strength. If you want to stay lean while adding muscle, I would have your carbs in the evening since they tend to make you sleepy because they raise serotonin which converts to melatonin. Finally, you will need to experiment with how may carbs you can take in without adding belly fat. Too many carbs will be stored as fat since insulin is a fat storage hormone. I am not a fan of oatmeal because of the bloating & I really didn't care for the taste of it even though I ate it religiously for 10 years (in all kinds of formats) thinking it was important. If you like oatmeal as carb then use it, at this point I just prefer grits. Hope that helps.
How do figure that would make any difference? Also, oatmeal is a carb and it will elevate insulin so not sure how you figure there is no sugar elevation.
Some people digest them without problem but most people eating the refined ones and dammage their digestic system then they got all the digest problem etc..
You can have oatmeal, I just do not like the bloated feeling but most importantly, it is highly overrated as a food source. Some people really believe it lowers cholesterol which is false.
I’m not keen on eating it I got too sick of it. But if I haven’t got time to eat il blend it and drink it. Especially and hour or two before the gym to get some carbs in
Thanks for commenting! You do not need carbs before you train but if you want some in the morning I would go with grits or a liquid carb like maltodextrin.
@@aeckelbarger filling the muscle with energy is how you build a lot of muscle! World class physiques and athletes have been built using a lot of carbs. You can look great and healthy without them and feel good, but what your doing is just another diet fat that will pass.
@@user-wu2lh7di2l Well... I am not sure where you are finding scientific information that specifically states that carbs build muscle. Carbs help to reload the muscles and liver but do not directly build muscle.
It's because you gave up gluten (wheat) and corn (corn is genetically modified food, made by humans who are just playing genetic engineering all of the time and messing up all original food or create something unidentifiable for the human body which is ultimately toxin and treated as a toxin by the body straight away!) mostly not because of oats! Oats are the closest to natural & therefore life DNA on the list & if you don't eat it in the morning or do not eat too much and eat it with a little added healthy fat instead fruits and sugar, honey and dairy products they will be just as healthy as other healthy foods are! Oats as a breakfast is a serious mistake as it makes you sleepy (calms the body & nervous system as well as slows down digestion!) Very bad decision to start your day with oats! Of course this gentleman stopped eating it because of that! Oats are like brown rice it's a main male option not a sweet breakfast option! That's where the mistake is not the oats are the mistake in itself!
@@wisdomfromprystinetheempress Well... it sounds like you are making a lot of assumptions regarding how I eat oats like assuming I am adding fruits, sugar, etc. I have tried all types of oats & have eaten them with eggs which has fat. You like oats & your belief is that they are a great food source then by all means eat to your desires content. They are way overrated by my personal experience.
@@aeckelbarger I am not talking about you or assume anything about you. I have no interest in addressing anybody who I don't know anything about.

It's never personal! It's just perceived as that because it triggers the ego self construct! That's how the Ego works! Hope this helps!
You are correct! I have minimal carbs throughout the day to manage insulin since too much insulin is toxic to the body and can lead to insulin resistance.
I started eating oatmeal instead of white rice wich i ate a lot and i cant even finish it, first time this happens to me with carbs. Im eating once a day at 1 Pm all the meat, the coffee, the oatmeal maybe some olives and I am full. If you dont eat oats, what do you eat instead?
What kind of oatmeal you eating anyway? You adding that sugary milk, choco syrup and honey things? Because oatmeal it itself got a very low glycemic index! So when you said it spikes sugar that doesn't make absolute sense. Try pairing oatmeal + hot water only with normal meals like chicken and meat.. It would taste perfect. and we all know oatmeal is superior to white rice.!
Sir maybe your eating a flavored oatmeal or maybe you put milk always on your oatmeals. The originla one with just water wont give you bloated. Also dont eat much.
I don't get it🤔. Oatmeal is supposed to be low carb and curb sugar levels. How come the high insulin elevation. Must be something else in your diet .....
@@aeckelbarger Yeah but I guess we all take in carbs in one form or another and our bodies will insulin no matter what we eat but the emphasis here is on LOW carbs as the glycemic index designates Oatmeal to be....????!
@@lawrencenjawe9875 Eating oatmeal is not low carb whether it is high or low glycemic is a different issue regarding how long insulin stays elevated. If you want to lose body fat then to burn fat you need to minimize carb intake but eating carbs at every meal keeps insulin elevated, when that happens, you do not burn fat, only glucose, carbs or sugars. You only burn fat when insulin is out of the way. Your body does not use glucose and fat at the same time, it is one or the other.
I just have 5-6 eggs in the morning since 50% of the protein will convert to glucose. If I decide to have some carbs, I prefer grits due to less bloating.
@@tony_lopez No, that is one of the biggest lies out there. My HDL (Good) cholesterol is high though. Eggs are one of the best food sources you can have because it absorbs so well since it is 90% like human tissue and contains so many good things like choline, inositol, biotin, lecithin, vitamin D, etc. There is so much false information out there it is ridiculous.
@@aeckelbarger - Dude.. I don’t know what to believe anymore. I hear so many things. My doctor tells me one thing (stay away from all red meats) but then these videos tell me that meat and eggs are good (healthy fats). My cholesterol is 190 (total) and my HDL is 53 and LDL is 120.. so right away they are considering statins if the LDL doesn’t decrease. If I eat a “KETO” type diet.. which I’ve been doing, cholesterol might go higher (or remain high). One side (doctor) tells me there’s risk of heart disease.. then the other side (KETO videos) tell me not to worry, cholesterol is a good thing. It’s all so confusing!!
If you think just counting calories is all that matters then you do not understand how to burn fat. Calories is what big food want you to believe because it fits perfectly with promoting the garbage processed food (each anything you want, it is all about the calories). Your body only burns one energy system at a time, either glucose or fat, they do not burn simultaneously (calorie counting). Your insulin has elevate to process carbs/sugars so you will not burn fat until insulin is out of the way therefore if you keep eating carbs at every meal, the only time you will burn fat is when you are asleep because insulin is finally out of the way. The weight that is lost using a calorie counting is water, carbs & muscle tissue, very little fat. This is why people who are in a calorie deficit do not keep losing weight consistently, lose muscle tissue & consistently struggle to keep their body composition of muscle to fat where they would prefer it.
That is a myth. Show me a qualified study (no a study that was paid for by a food company that would confirm that) that confirms that eating oatmeal lowers cholesterol which is a also a broad definition since there are many different forms of cholesterol (LDL, VLDL, ApoB, etc). Finally, how much cholesterol is affected or how can you even measure it since other foods are involved. If that is your belief then go with it. I am not saying that eating oats will harm you but the benefits are WAY OVER STATED and must marketing hype.
I agree, I am trying to build muscle and everyone is like oh you must eat oatmeal, but I simply don't like them or feel anything special about consuming these. And I've tried all types oats, so don't tell me it because I used instant oats, it's not

Hey, thanks for commenting and yes there is a lot of concern regarding glyphosates and pesticides in the different plants we eat. Try to go as organic and you can but remember that if it has a hard surface like an avocado, squash, orange, melons, lemons, coconut, etc that you are not going to eat, there is no need to buy organic.
Eating any carbs or sugars over 5 grams will require insulin to process and break them down so that they can be stored in the liver, muscles or fat. That is what insulin does.
@@zentzu4003 Okay, I understand what you are saying. The point I was trying to make is that the insulin shuts off fat burning and if you keep eating carbs throughout the day, insulin will stay elevated.

On the GI for regular (not instant) oatmeal, you may want to check again, as I get 55 when I google it, and that's a bit too high for some people, especially, for those with metabolic problems.
I don't think fruits eaten by themselves give insuline resistance in healthy people, but for those who already have it, the combination of different carbs and even different types of fruits at the same meal may make it impossible for them to regain insuline sensitivity. It all depends where your are.
Probably the beers thats keeping you bloated not the oatmeal.😊
Yeah, I gave that up as well. I know you are joking but grains produce too many cytokines which cause inflammation. I just have potato vodka and 5 calorie cranberry (zero carbs) when I indulge so no bloating there as well.
HAHA
Its the oats cause im bloated rn
@@thinkingoutloud675it must be some intolerance you guys have. Because I’ve been eating it since 2015 for weight loss and now for maintenance and it gets me lean.
Perhaps you shout add some fats like chia seed, nut butter and fruit, alternative sweetener to sugar (if you haven’t been doing so already). Otherwise just avoid it, but oats are great for most people.
Get off your delusions! Many people get bloated with oatmeal. Everybody is different.
If you're eating oatmeal instead of bread, pasta and cereals, it's healthy. The fiber fermenting in the gut is a good thing.
It is not as healthy as it is made out to be and not a necessary food is my point. If your beleif is that it is healthy then keep it eating it.
I like your voice Voltron defender of the Universe.

@@AMDpc067 No it doesn't and calories in, calories out has nothing to do with it. Look it up, the body does not burn both energy systems, it is one or the other.
Oats are good for You , but take a lot of energy to digest. So if you You eat them too often You will end up losing energy.

I weigh less than I did before I ever got pregnant five months postpartum from eating fruits, veggies, meat, and lots of oatmeal with Chia seeds, whole milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Sometimes I’ll also have blueberries or watermelon. Oats are great for you.
That's great and I am happy that you lost weight. Just understand there is a difference between weight loss and actual fat loss. I am no longer going to eat oats because it is truly not necessary for optimal health and physique. If you want to eat them then keep eating them, it is part of your belief system.
Oats are good carbs keep eating get BIG!!! OATMEAL AN EGG WHITES BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
Oatmeal does not build muscle and you should eat whole eggs, not egg whites because you cannot digest protein efficiently without fat. That is why ALL animal protein contains fat!
@@aeckelbargerDropping knowledge
Just curious.....you said you stopped eating it because it wasn't helping build muscle. But what if building muscle wasn't the goal but rather, keeping a trim figure was the main goal and keeping the weight down? Would you still recommend giving up oatmeal?
If your goal is to lose body fat (big difference between losing fat & weight) then I would avoid oatmeal since it is a carb. Eating too many carbs leads to fat gain because insulin (which is needed to process all carbs & sugars) will push sugars & carbs to the muscles, liver or fat cells. If you have plenty of glucose in the muscles & liver then the only place to store excess carbs is the fat cells. People falsely believe that just being in a calorie deficit causes fat loss which is very misleading.
Thank you so much for replying and for the great advice. I'll have to dig deeper into this. You have me intrigued and also even more curious, especially on what you said about there being a difference between losing body fat and losing weight. Not at all trying to sound dumb here but I didn't think or realize that there was a difference between the two. Just one last question and I'll quit buggin' ya. If you recommend quitting the oatmeal, what would you recommend I replace it with? What foods should I lean towards instead if the goal is to keep the weight down?
@@brutus0329 The difference between losing weight & body fat is that weight loss can mean anything (losing water weight, burning off of carbs & worse yet which I see all the time burning muscle tissue), just because the scaled says there is less weight doesn't mean it was body fat plus muscle weights more than fat so the scale can be very misleading. It is your body composition (lean muscle to fat ratio) that you should be looking for improvement. If you want to lose fat, you have to manage carb intake, not fat intake. Carbs are only needed to replenish the muscles & liver for energy, they do not build muscle. My typical breakfast is 6 whole eggs cooked in coconut oil or 5 whole eggs & 2 strips of bacon. People do not realize that 50% of the protein you take in converts to glucose (same as carbs) but do not require insulin to rise much & that will allow you to burn more fat as your main energy source. You can only burn one energy system at a time, glucose or fat.
Yeah that thing messed up my stomach so much.
I Take oats with milk as my pre-workout meal, I don’t feel bloated but I found out it has Phytic acid. What would be a good replacement for oats?
If you feel you need carbs before training (I don’t eat them before to keep insulin down) then you can use Cream of Wheat or Grits.
Oat meal is not for everyone some people are sensitive to grains
can't confirm. I eat oatmeal every day (sometimes, only oatmeal the entire day). Since the end of winter, I increased sports, eat salted oatmeal; Yes, salt is needed if you lose, let's say, 3 kg sweat while doing sports.

Oats can give you bloating and inflammation if it contain pesticides etc
The bloating comes from oats being combined with a carb which is alkaline in nature combined with protein which is acidic in nature. This creates gas in the intestinal system and the bloating effect.
Same here until I tried the organic sprouted oatmeal made a huge difference however there's still a fine line you don't need much 1/3 cup with a touch of raw organic honey pre workout just enough to get that rush halfway through workout I'm back in ketosis, I keep my carbs at 50g a day with high protein and high fat
Also if they make you bloat, you might wanna look into mold toxicity...which also can cause thiamine deficiency.
Or just not eat oatmeal, if you feel it is a great food source then eat all you want.
Love what oatmeal does for me, but it gives me a migraine time to time...any insights why?
Hey, thanks for commenting. One of the things you may want to consider is to have a DNA Methylation test done (only need it once) to see what genetic mutations you got from your parents that are affected by how you absorb nutrients. Oatmeal can cause rapid changes in blood sugar which can trigger a migraine, you have a Avenin sensitivity which can cause coeliac-like responses like headaches or you are just sensitive to that type of food. You may want to try some all natural grits (not fortified or enriched with folic acid) to see how you respond. Hope that helps.
How does raw plain oatmeal spike insulin for long periods of time? I thought it was high sugar content that did that
Anytime you eat 5 more grams of carbohydrates, insulin is needed to process the carbs into glucose to store in the muscles & liver. Any excess that cannot go into the muscles & liver will be stored as fat.
@@aeckelbarger interesting
What do you eat instead for a complex carb?
I still eat carbs just more strategically so that I burn fat as my main source of energy. When staying low carb I just focus on eating protein and fat because it does not require insulin so I will burn fat. Once you have a good amount of carbs (5 grams or more) then your energy system will switch to burning glucose because of the insulin rising.
Use steel cut oats and soak them overnight. Cook in full fat milk and butter
Hey, thanks for commenting. I am not a fan of any oats (I have tried them all) at this point (ate them for years) and see really no benefit to continue eating them.
Did you eat organic or no organic oatmeal? I ate non organic oatmeal which bloated me (probably due to chemicals). Im fine with organic oatmeal
I have tried them all, doesn't matter. You can eat oatmeal if you feel it is important. Not necessary based on my experience of eating it for about 10 years.
He probably take creatine ptotein etc.. eat slot of red meat etc. blame it on the oats
@@aeckelbarger u said it bloats u. And don’t help u build muscle. I said the creatine and protein powder and red meat is the reason. Fuck.
What about Cream of Rice? I’ve been thinking of switching from oatmeal since I hear it digests faster 🤔
Yeah, I like that or grits personally.
I also think people can drink 1 soda a day if they're active and not have negative effects. I drank one real sugar no corn syrup soda a day at lunch and was under weight 😅
There is no nutritional value in drinking soda so I no longer drink it. If it is something you really enjoy and want to drink it daily, just understand it is doing nothing for your health.
Oatmeal helped me to cure my digestive problems. I had it continuously for a year and now my colon is healthy again 😊
Whit what did you replace the oats?
Well...I do not have carbs in the morning anymore but I would probably do potatoes or grits.
What about Oat Bran? Has anyone tried it? Where there any benefits?
Oat bran has better nutrients (contains more antioxidants like protein, iron, thiamine and magnesium) than oat meal but it is still high in carbs.
Oatmeal + hemp and chia with some nut butters and whole raw milk is a night n day difference than just oats

@@aeckelbarger just wondering, that guy doesn’t eat much food at all, because it’s “not necessary”
But does it really keep your insulin levels elevated if the purpose is simply to eat it for energy before a workout. Won't you burn the carbs at the gym
If you are looking to burn fat then eating carbs has to be regulated because when you have 5 grams of carbs or more, insulin has to come to process them. When this happens, fat burning is shut off until the insulin clears. Now if you are leaner and want to have carbs then that it different. Sure you will burn the carbs at the gym but you burn glucose no matter what when you are training. My point is that it is an overrated food source and causes a lot of bloating for me and most of my clients.

Im not saying oats are magic potion, im just saying they played a big part in helping me control my appetite, which was all over the place before
@@jaekamacho1416 Okay, thanks for the reply. If you really want to lose body fat, you need to control your carb intake, especially starchy carbs. Why? Because if you want to burn fat, you need to get insulin out of the way since your body only uses one energy source at a time. Every time you have carbs with a meal, insulin has to rise to help process the carbs/sugars & insulin is a FAT storage hormone. You do not burn fat and glucose at the same time. Once insulin is out of the way, you will burn fat after you have burned off the current level of glucose reserves. If you eat carbs at every meal, the only way you will burn any fat is when you are sleeping because insulin is out of the way & your hormones use cholesterol (fat) to repair & rebuild cells. Try only having some carbs in the evening or every 3-4 days & see what happens.
@@aeckelbargerthanks boss, i appreciate the info 🙏🏼
Im always open to trying new ways to help me improve myself. Ill look into it for sure and make a plan
Too much dietary fat is what causes high blood sugar and high insulin when you eat carbs. I eat very high carb very low fat, 75-90% calories from carbs and 1-10% fat and when Iast tested my fasting insulin was 2.3. a1c 5.0 and fasting glucose 73.
Yeah, I did that high carb low fat diet for probably 25 years, what a waste of time and effort that was, trying to eat 4-6 times a day which is totally unsustainable and hard on your digestive system. Dietary fat has nothing to do with high blood sugar, not sure where you are getting that research from. I cycle carbs only as needed to replenish the muscles and liver. The problem with a high carb diet like you are doing is insulin is elevated all the time which also causes inflammation and eventually leads to insulin resistance. I focus on protein and fat because that is what is ideal for hormones (they need cholesterol to rebuild cells), maintaining and building muscle. Carbs do not build muscle, they are simply an energy source that can be stored as fat very easily if you consume to many via insulin. Not sure what your age is but I am 60 years old and my fasting insulin is 2.4 and A1C 4.8. The good news is that you at least know what numbers to look at.
@aeckelbarger why is my fasting insulin only 2.3 then? I also almost never have to eat more than 2 high carb meals a day. No blood sugar spikes and crashes.
@@dj-fe4ck Well... in your case you are not overdoing like most people are by eating 4-6 high carb meals. Two carb meals a day is not bad, so congrats on that. You want low insulin for longevity.
@aeckelbarger But I'm not calorie restricting. I eat on average 2500-3000 calories a day. I just eat most of those calories in 1 or 2 meals. If I also eat a meal of only greens or non starchy veggies I dont count that as a high carb meal since they have almost no calories. I eat a lot more carbs and a lot less fat than the standard American diet. There are also many people who have also reversed insulin resistance eating high carb low fat.
what about the ones that wants to bulk?
I am not a fan of bulking since all you are doing is adding excess body fat from eating too many carbs. Carbs do not build muscle, they provide energy. What builds muscle is protein & fat. Eating too many carbs creates too many issues that are not even healthy. You just need enough to reload the muscles & liver for good energy & strength. If you like oatmeal for a carb then go with that, I no longer believe the hype of how good oatmeal is for health, especially heart health which is just straight our crap. Quaker contributes to the American Heart Association to get them to say that.
But they say you need to bulk and eat lots of carbs to build muscle faster !! And I’m a skinny guy too. What should I do to build muscle faster. And if I can only eat carbs to get energy what can I eat other than oat and how much should I consume per day or per workout?
@@salmanzakani5572 Well... I weighed 120 lbs coming out of high school at 5'5" (grew 2" in college) so I had a fast metabolism. You need to focus on quality protein (amino acids to make muscle tissue) & fats (hormones need fat to rebuild cells) because that is what builds muscle. Use the carbs for restoring glycogen to the muscles & liver. I weigh 172 lbs now (I am 60 years old) so I focus on trying to get 170 grams of protein a day. Quality protein (animal protein) already has fat built into because you need fat to help digest & break down the protein (that is why mother nature made it that way) into amino acids. Not sure what your weight is so I would say if you have a fast metabolism that 2,500-3,000 calories a day is a goal to start with to see how you respond. Also, to build muscle, you need to learn how to train properly (just doing straight sets & resting isn't going to cut it) to break down muscle & then let it repair & adapt to the stress you put it under. Just eating a lot of food is not going to give you quality muscle mass is my point. There is much more to it, I know since I have been training for over 40 years & have put on as much as 67 lbs of muscle naturally (zero drugs) doing my lifetime. Hope that helps.
If you are bloated from eating oatmeal. More likely, you're not drinking enough water. Dehydration can lead to constipation and bloating. Up that water intake, brothers and sisters. 😊

@@migs6674 & carbs. I even started adding 1 egg.
Eating only protein gets boring. + oats can help to add muscle I think.
Also healthy fats are needed
I want to gain weight should i eat it
I assume when you say you want to gain weight, you are referring to muscle? If so, what builds muscle is protein & fats, carbs are used to reload the muscles & liver to provide quality energy which can help with strength. If you want to stay lean while adding muscle, I would have your carbs in the evening since they tend to make you sleepy because they raise serotonin which converts to melatonin. Finally, you will need to experiment with how may carbs you can take in without adding belly fat. Too many carbs will be stored as fat since insulin is a fat storage hormone. I am not a fan of oatmeal because of the bloating & I really didn't care for the taste of it even though I ate it religiously for 10 years (in all kinds of formats) thinking it was important. If you like oatmeal as carb then use it, at this point I just prefer grits. Hope that helps.
I agree with this guy. All I eat is oatmeal and I still can’t loose weight
uncooked water soaked oatmeal is the best way to eat it.😊
Ohhhh mind sharing why you think that?
Prepare it at night and use it in the morning no bloating no sugar elevation
How do figure that would make any difference? Also, oatmeal is a carb and it will elevate insulin so not sure how you figure there is no sugar elevation.

Its thermodynamics, all about calories not the meal that you eat
If you think just counting calories is all that matters then you do not understand how to burn fat. Calories is what big food want you to believe because it fits perfectly with promoting the garbage processed food (each anything you want, it is all about the calories). Your body only burns one energy system at a time, either glucose or fat, they do not burn simultaneously (calorie counting). Your insulin has elevate to process carbs/sugars so you will not burn fat until insulin is out of the way therefore if you keep eating carbs at every meal, the only time you will burn fat is when you are asleep because insulin is finally out of the way. The weight that is lost using a calorie counting is water, carbs & muscle tissue, very little fat. This is why people who are in a calorie deficit do not keep losing weight consistently, lose muscle tissue & consistently struggle to keep their body composition of muscle to fat where they would prefer it.

Build muscle? Only protein builds muscle. Secondly, bloating, or do you mean feel full. Feeling full equals eating less equals better health.
Dude, I know the difference between bloating and feeling full.
I agree, I am trying to build muscle and everyone is like oh you must eat oatmeal, but I simply don't like them or feel anything special about consuming these. And I've tried all types oats, so don't tell me it because I used instant oats, it's not
Yes and no. But I respect your choice.
It’s good to build muscle mass !
Oatmeal or any carb for that matter does not build muscle. It is for energy, what builds muscle is protein & fats.
You probably eat Fruit together make you bloat
Gluten that's why you should only eat free gluten oatmeal
Not everyone has gluten issues, either way oatmeal is not necessary and an overstated food source.
@@aeckelbarger True I recently switched to gluten free oatmeal and I still got bloated so I guess it's just the food in particular.
Out porridge is super cheap 😂
Thanks for commenting and good to know. There is nothing wrong with eating that if it is what you like but I do not subscribe to cheap food, just quality food since food is either medicine or poison.
Now its all poisonous from the sprays they use, oats and Cheerios, dr says eat up, you'll get sick then you can come to me so i can have patients!!!!!😂😂
You don’t and someone else does. This goes for every food. Lol
Thanks for commenting and you are correct!
I am with you. I stopped eating oats.
Oatmeal is not for you
but it's for you
Don't believe this folks. Do your own research.
Sure, I don't care. I am just saying why I no longer eat oatmeal. Do all the research you want & if you want to eat oatmeal then by all means have all you want.
You might be gluten free
Maybe it was the milk buddy. People have been eating it for years.
I did not use milk. People will continue to eat it but just not me.
@@aeckelbarger fair enough.
Maybe all that roiding has eroded ur brain as well
Hey, thanks for the compliment since I do not do roids. If you want a quality physique you need to learn how to train, eat, sleep and optimize your hormones properly which is what I teach people how to do.
qauker oats has horrible pesticides in it
Hey, thanks for commenting and yes there is a lot of concern regarding glyphosates and pesticides in the different plants we eat. Try to go as organic and you can but remember that if it has a hard surface like an avocado, squash, orange, melons, lemons, coconut, etc that you are not going to eat, there is no need to buy organic.
Wtf are you talking about 😂😂😂
eating oatmeal keeps your insulin elevated? wtf lol
Eating any carbs or sugars over 5 grams will require insulin to process and break them down so that they can be stored in the liver, muscles or fat. That is what insulin does.
@@aeckelbarger ‘keeps them elevated’ insinuates eating oatmeal keeps insulin up all day…
@@zentzu4003 Okay, I understand what you are saying. The point I was trying to make is that the insulin shuts off fat burning and if you keep eating carbs throughout the day, insulin will stay elevated.

Absolutely delicious
I cut up 2 boiled eggs into mine when its done
Wonderful breakfast

Oats are oats whether they are steel cut, Irish, etc I do not care. Not a food I care to consume after eating the for many years. Totally overrated.
You are obviously eating processed oatmeal get the good raw stuff you might change your mind
You are making an assumption. I do not eat processed oatmeal. I do not eat any processed food. I only eat all natural or organic food. My point is oatmeal is not necessary in anyone’s diet like they are lead to believe. If they like it then fine.
I disagree but its great you dont eat oatmeal :)
Sure, I understand. Thanks for commenting.
Weird how all the top athletes swear by it. You must know something they don't
Not all the top athletes swear by oats. It is just something they were told they should eat. Oats are not a game changer, they are just carbs.
@@aeckelbarger that's not true:

Oatmeal 🥣 is good for heart ❤️ health , Yes Oatmeal helps u build muscle too .U need a healthy heart to lift weights or walk more to lose weight. Oatmeal haves many purposes, it's up to you and your body to get the results you need or want . Most deaths are from Heart disease.....
Sounds like you listen to the media & the food industry. Oatmeal does nothing for your heart health & has nothing to do with building muscle.
