Ive started eating oats in the evening, helping me relax and sleep well. I am going through a particularly difficult time in my life, i needed something to help me relax. Im 63 and so far its really helping me. ❤

[@Aaron-g9b]

Eating the right kind of carbohydrates in the evening, like whole grains or vegetables, can help you sleep better. These foods help your body produce serotonin, a brain chemical that makes you feel relaxed and helps you fall asleep. It's also important because they keep your blood sugar level steady throughout the night, preventing sleep disturbances. Just make sure to eat them a few hours before bedtime, so your body has time to digest. Remember, it's not just about what you eat, but also maintaining a regular bedtime and a comfortable sleeping environment to get good sleep.

I’ve been doing 30% protein, 30-40% carbs, 30-40% fats for a while now, and I feel great, I’ve lost weight, my skin looks great and my energy levels are better than ever. I eat oatmeal about twice to three times a month when I’m craving sweet, creamy things (always around my period). I do rolled oats boiled in full-fat goat milk, add vanilla extract, Stevia or Allulose to sweeten, a pinch of salt and abit of cinnamon or nutmeg. I top with crushed almonds and walnuts, pumpkin seeds, ground flax seed, chopped up 70% dark chocolate and chopped fruits (usually banana or berries). If I’m feeling abit extra, I even add abit of ghee or pure butter. I eat it warm, and it’s not just delicious, but so comforting and satisfying when I’m PMSing and craving carbs…my body is just wired to crave carbs + fat + sweet and/or creamy things during that time of the month. Sometimes I’ll also make chicken Alfredo using low-carb pasta and chicken breast during that time eventhough I don’t usually care for it, I try to make the healthiest version of it without compromising taste too much.

Have a look at what Dr Phillip Ovadia says about 'cholesterol' and statins.

Ovadia is a U.S. cardiac surgeon

[@lisadefries6718]

Yes agreed. Try and keep oats organic but yes we all different. If you check out Tim Spector he points out everyone has a different microbiome even identical twins so what satisfies our hunger for longest time within reason is individual . Also different people get different blood sugar spikes from different foods. Tim Spector said his wife who is french by birth didnt get massive spikes when eating French bread but Tim who loved french bread did so unfortunately he decided it best to avoid most of time unless it a special treat. They both used blood sugar monitors to analyse what gave them spikes and what didnt. The more you learn about nutrition the more I believe you realise there are no hard and fast one size fits all fixes just general rules that wise to follow such as reduce or cut out added sugars as much as possible , eat organic if you can afford, favour high fibre nutritionally dence foods in preference to hyper processed foods such as cake and Pringles. Let’s face it I find Pringles so addictive given half a chance I would eat an entire tube in an evening zero real nutrition just junk . I did stop eating crisps and cake/biscuits for around 10 months and guess what I lost 32 pounds………small modifications to diet swapping poor foods for better ones like 25 grams of nuts for Pringles can make a real difference.

I've been eating oats for breakfast literally from the day I was born. I stopped eating oats when I started keto, and gradually I got arthritis in my fingers. One morning I couldn't move any of my fingers at all. At that point for other reasons (for better bowel movements) I decided to start oatmeal again, I never expected it would have an effect on my arthritis, but miraculously the very next day, I regained movement in my fingers to a large extent. It was totally unexpected and at first I couldn't understand why my condition had improved so dramatically. The only thing I did differently was the oats! My guess is that the soluble fiber fed the good bacteria and reduced inflammation. But after seeing what you have to say about Chia seeds, I think I will give that a try! Thank you.

[@tomunderwood4283]

Very interesting. I wonder if your keto diet was high in oxalates? Almonds, spinach, dark chocolate, peanuts, green tea, pre-ripe avocados, etc. These are all high in oxalates. Oxalates can make arthritis worse.

[@msSAN300]

While adapting to keto it is so easy to get an imbalance in your electrolites due to the lack of carbohydrates. Also carbs get stored with water, if you don´t have carbs it´s easier to loose water and with that important minerals, such as magnesium, very important for your joints and muscles. I tried for about a month, just to experiment. Even though I knew this and paid attention by drinking water with some salt in the morning and taking mineral supplements, my body did not respond well. Everybody is different and has a different gut biome and metabolism.

[@radam2818]

Very interesting, balanced presentation. I'm relieved to learn that i'm probably not ruining my health by eating oats everyday for breakfast. I do it more out of habit than pleasure. Don't add sugar, just a bit of cinnamon, walnuts and pumpkin seeds which hopefully take care of my prostate and general health. It's a convenient everyday breakfast but don't feel it is miraculous either for emptying the bowel; coffee is probably more efficient at that. But it keeps me easily satiated till lunch time. It must be an ok food for me, as i'm doing fine w/out any meds at an already respectable age.

Sugar is fine. Just get it from fruit. Smash a banana in the bowl before you put the oats in then mix. Tastes great!

I dont dispute most of what you say Sten, but comparing an oats based breakfast with your eggs & avocado, the costings are at great variance. Currently here in UK, a 45g portion of good quality oats costs £0.09, whilst the frozen cherries i have with it would cost £0.32 and £0.19 for 15 g milled chia seeds, total cost £0.66, with a very small portion of semi skimmed milk costing pennies, under £0.04. Your version would cost £0.43 for 1/2 avocado, £0.62 for 2 free range eggs, not to mention the costs of the vegetables and evoo you suggest. With one tabsp costing about £0.20, never mind the rest of the veggies, probably adding up to a total of over £1.40, that is double the cost of the oats breckfast. For most of the population needing to get healthier, working class people, in a cost of living crisis, the choice is a no-brainer!

My favourite combo is ground flax seed for extra fibre, nuts for more protein and fats, raisins, cinnamon and a little maple syrup which is lower on the glycemic index for a sugar. I went to that as my go to from store bought bread, peanut butter and jam. I feel it did help me lose some stubborn weight that I was having difficulty with and I am able to keep it off. I feel more satiated in the morning and I feel it gives my the energy for my workout and job. On my days off I do eggs. I’m a big breakfast guy would not miss it.

Also rolled, but much smaller in size, and after a few days I noticed that I got cravings and wanted more to eat less than an hour after later. I went back to my normal oats as soon as I could and again I stay full and satisfied for hours. I avoid anything flour, sugar and even fruit and veggies because they mess up my gut and I get cravings and feel hungry all the time. Oats on the other hand soothes my gut. I use it for pizza base, as tortillas and in baking and my gut is healing, I don't get cravings and I stay satisfied for hours afterwards.

Oats is also something that can be added to a host of savory dishes, breads, cookies and more, making this neutral grain such a nice addition to stockpile in the pantry.

what are your blood sugars like 1hr and 2 hrs after eating that?

[@HobzyMcRuse]

probably really elevated@@MarkHolmes

[@leejacobs3620]

Thank you for another great easily digested 😁 informative video. Being a fan of oats, it was good to hear I'm moving in the right direction with the chia, pumpkin seeds, yoghurt that I add.

[@drekberg]

Thank you @leejacobs3620. LOL 😄

I eat steel cut oats with sugar-free oat milk and a 1/2 cup of mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries) every day for breakfast and sometimes for a snack during the day. Delicious! I buy big bags of frozen mixed berries and keep them thawed in the fridge.

[@DavidBrockes]

Try whole rolled oats and soak overnight, more fiber.

Breakfast in the Peruvian Andes differs from the typical breakfast in developed countries. While the Andean breakfast is hearty and includes a variety of ingredients like pork meat, cheese, natural milk cream, meat soups, breakfast in developed countries tends to be more focused on carbohydrates like cereal, toast, or pastries. It's fascinating how food traditions can vary so much across different regions and cultures. Thanks for helping us Doctor!

My sister has oatmeal every day for breakfast for about a decade or more. She is slim and healthy. It just goes to show that each body is different. She also has tons of energy, every day. BUT me, no way do I eat it. Throws off the entire day!

[@Betterlaylow1]

Exactly

[@sabinekoch3448]

So interesting.

[@blizzardwarning5198]

Maybe for most people oatmeal is not an issue in the diet if they have maintained a lifestyle of regular exercise, sunlight, good balance of good fats and protein while mostly avoiding the processed foods. However, poor habits over many years may lead to insulin resistance and now that same oatmeal is a no-no.

[@Betterlaylow1]

@blizzardwarning5198 that's true, it's usually never one thing that can be bad it's most likely a series of things we are doing

[@user-zx5xw4yw2e]

It helps my bowels!! Love it love it love it

[@cowlevelcrypto2346]

My go to oatmeal serving contains 1 cup oatmeal (cooked), 2 tbs Peanut butter, and a handful of Nestle's tollhouse chocolate morsels ( about 8 chocolate drops ). No syrup or extra sugar. Sometimes a sprinkling of cinnamon in the mix. The peanut butter and morsels (which contain sugar) are all the added sweetness needed. I tried just plain oatmeal , I just can't do it. 🍜

[@ricardodiaz6187]

If you understand macros and calories, you can program oats into your daily food without any issues. My first meal of the day is 1/2 cup raw organic oats (just a little hot water stirred in), 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries, 4 whole eggs, 2oz white rice, 2oz raw beef liver, and 1tbsp cod liver oil. I use the oats and berries to achieve my daily carb and calorie goal. If I wanted to lower my daily carbs and calories, the oats would definitely be the first thing to go because of their higher carb and calorie count. Thank you for a great video Doc…

[@Pgc19458]

I eat oatmeal and yogurt at night before bed, from what they say, it help with sleeping

[@stevelanghorn1407]

Another excellent run-through. Regarding breakfast : Many people who do a physically demanding manual job wouldn’t contemplate skipping breakfast for the sake of “Intermittent Fasting”. If they’re anything like me, they’d feel like they were “running on empty”, or about to flake out!

[@HappilyCarnivore]

Not so much if you're eating carnivore/no carbs, but yeah, if you eat carbs and your body is used to only burning carbs instead of fat you won't fair too well skipping breakfast and then doing hard manual labor.

[@stevelanghorn1407]

Really? So are you saying eating zero carbs and skipping breakfast will result in having more energy for doing a physically demanding daily job?@@HappilyCarnivore

[@EaglePicking]

I do a quite physical job and have been doing that job while fasting or on keto, so without carbs in the morning. Obviously you'll need to have adapted to fat burning before you do that. It's going to depend on exactly how extreme the physicality is, though. You don't want to be doing 70%+ and going over your lactate heart rate while on fat burning only.

[@stevelanghorn1407]

👍Thanks for this.@@EaglePicking

[@Mavrik-60]

@@EaglePicking i agree as a endurance cyclist I don't do keto not enough and hard to feed on a bike but carbs are a different story i can tailor my feeds to my needs 30 min.offset. i can also feed night before on slow carbs. Works quite well. But i couldnt make the keto work for my endurance needs.

[@-.Steven]

I really like organic overnight oats, but want to cut carbs so I haven't had oats in over a year. Great video Dr. Ekberg!

[@angelak3644]

Steel cut oats with coconut milk, walnuts, blueberries & and dash of vanilla- delicious! I like your yogurt recipe. And I’m a fan of making your own yogurt. Do you have an episode on making yogurt & benefits of different bacteria?

[@tazbunful]

This might surprise some people. I am of asian origin. I use organic oat to thicken my curries, soup and other stuff I like eating. I avoid wheat altogether: flat asian bread of all kind. I am 76 year old and I power stride for 2 hours nonstop practically everyday of the week. Being retired of course, it is easy. Can anybody beat this, please say hello! 8:12

[@mvl6827]

I eat porridge oats almost every day. I make it with salt, chia seeds, cinnamon or cardamon, banana or pear, hot water and some (oat) milk. No sugar. It serves me very well indeed. Probably the best regular food I eat.

[@yennefer5277]

Doctor I cannot thank you enough for how much I've learned from you! I know there are many videos about yogurt making.... But....I would love to hear how you make your yogurt!

[@floridawoman25]

I eat it with apples , chia, honey, and a piece of banana or plums.

[@davidglad]

I've gotten perhaps a majority of my calories this year and likely last year too off oatmeal. In part because it's quick and easy to make, minimal preparation/cleanup. Traditional/rolled mostly, sometimes quick. (I get steel cut is supposed to be healthier, but costs more and takes longer to make.) As other folks mention, if you overeat the quantity, you likely will be drowsy. Incidentally by more a fluke, I've mixed it with coffee and lemon tea if you want some unique (and no extra calorie) taste to it.

[@thuggoe]

if you make overnight oats steel cut is easy to make

[@brianthompson1579]

For coeliacs, regarding oats themselves... oats do not contain gluten but oat fields often contain wheat seedlings due to previous cultivation or contamination. Coeliacs require certified gluten free oats which are from wheat free fields and which do not subsequently get contaminated on the production line. Also, oats naturally have a gluten-like compound called avenin which may provoke the immune system of some coeliacs. In this case, oats are to be avoided.
