Back
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.
