Stovetop Oatmeal vs microwave.

[ronin0352]

Oats are oats; it's how much they are processed. The more "instant" they are, the higher the GI becomes. Steel-cut oats are recommended not because they are a different kind of oats, but because they are less processed, thus take longer to digest, and thus have a lower GI.

Also, packaged instant oatmeal has a shwack of sugar added, most times.

Yet another good informative post from MM. Thanks man, just got 4 lbs of steel-cut oats and I like them a LOT better. I prefer the consistency too.

Also, great idea from Goth_Judoka about mixing and putting in the fridge overnight. I tried this and loved my breakfast this morning.

I love this place, I learn new tips every time I log in.
