Thank you for mentioning this…I wasn’t aware about Oatmeal being with High Glycemic Carbs…Maybe now readers will have something else to reference too…I’m really glad you said this…I love knowing what others have to say, cause if we put all of our information together we can maybe solve alot of mysteries…

Thank You,

I had problems with high glycemic index carbs — especially OATMEAL! Everyone kept singing the praises of oatmeal! Oatmeal in the morning! Oatmeal for snack! It really sticks to your ribs! It really satisfies! You’ll feel fuller longer.

BS.

What I learned is, not all oatmeal is created equal!

For starters, I am incredibly lazy (how else did I become morbidly obese to begin with?) and hate to wait. For anything. Like oatmeal.

So, I got me some instant oatmeal — the unsweetened stuff, I’m not stooopid — and started eating that for morning snack. I was so hungry I almost gnawed my arm off.

Then I started reading about it and realized that instant oatmeal is horrible for you, steel cut instant oats are only marginally better, but slow-cook steel cut oats are *the best* — having said that, they still are too high on the glycemic index chart for me. So, I have banished oatmeal from my regimen. That, and anything remotely resembling it. I think that sucks, but that is life.

So, it’s not just carbs, per se, it’s how they rate on the glycemic index that matters most.

Just a thought for ya — even though it sounds like you’ve already got it wired

You know one thing I found out is that Sugar issues can cause a person to have anxiety…I know if I eat high carbs, my sugar goes up and my body gets so tense…So I take Xanax to calm everything down…And I never had to before until this year..But it’s a learning process…

I’m always here for you…
