The key is the glycemic index if you are talking about spiking your blood glucose. Straight up oatmeal (not instant, processed etc.) is very low glycemic index compared to refined carbs such as white bread or straight up sugar (as in craisins).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index

As a result, if you stay with oatmeal and no other high gycemic foods in your breakfast, your bloodsugar should not spike and you should feel pretty full for most of the morning.

I eat egg whites and throw in a protein shake if I can't make it quite to lunch without cravings.

Given where Pete is from I imagine he is talking the real stuff.

Oatmeal has been bloating me lately, going to try one egg with corn tortilla (non-GMO) and one slice of bacon or some smoked salmon for a while and see if the bloating goes away.

The second thing to know is that oats are quite high in phytic acid. This is a phytonutrient that is very hard to digest. And it explains the heavy, sinking feeling I would get in my stomach after eating oatmeal.

If you struggle with GI issues like bloating, reflux, IBS, Crohn’s, or other inflammatory conditions, oatmeal and grain-based breakfasts are not for you, either. Grains can be very irritating to your GI tract due to the lectins and phytic acid, which contribute to more inflammation. Gut irritants like grains and legumes may contribute to flares.

Beans, nuts, grains, all high in phytates. That's why they need to be soaked, rinsed, soaked, rinsed, etc... before use, but by the time you get them out of a bag, it's probably kind of too late for that. Besides being hard to digest, I think the phytates also block our ability to get all of the nutrients out of the stuff that we're eating.

I wonder if oat bran also has phytates.

On Sunday nights I usually make a batch for the week: 4 cups of water, 1 cup of steel cut oats and a handful of raisins. Bring the water and raisins to a boil, add the oats and let simmer for 1 minute. Put the lid on it and let it sit overnight and microwave one serving each day.

Great idea......will have to try this. Thanks, Mike! SmileWavy

Note he didn't burn the butter. He just waited until he heard a sizzle. I'll try and remember this next time.

Way better for you than oatmeal.

I will not eat oatmeal.

Sadly, no pancakes, no donuts, no waffles...

flipper35 10-15-2025 12:43 PM

Waffles from a spice cake mix with some whipped cream on top!

Pancakes and donuts I can take or leave. I do like a good custard filled with maple icing now and then.

Most Saturday mornings are an omelet with shredder cheddar and toast, oatmeal or Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Pop Tarts and oddly, my sugar does not spike like if I eat french fries or hash browns.
