The best type of oatmeal is steel cut oatmeal because this is as close to the tree as you will get. The only drawback to steel cut oatmeal is the 30 minute cook time.

Steel cut oatmeal is then rolled flat into old fashioned oatmeal. This decreases the cook time to 5 minutes on the stove. Old fashioned oatmeal is great because it still absorbs into the body slow enough to keep insulin levels at bay, and it still takes only a minute to cook in the microwave.

Manufacturers chop old fashioned oatmeal into quick cooking oatmeal. Quick cooking oatmeal cooks faster but also gets processed faster by your body. This is good for convenience but bad for blood sugar/insulin levels.

The reason Quaker “Weight Control” oatmeal doesn’t count as a good choice because it contains maltodextrine, a high glycemic carbohydrate. In addition, there is a long list of ingredients on the label when the only ingredient should be oatmeal.
