In fact that is the meal which I eat in a day that makes me feel the best out of all meals that I eat in a day. I do not add any fats in the morning because I have noticed fats slowed my focus and concentracion down and made me not feel very well. I eat healthy fats after morning but I use them in small amounts because that is how my body feels best and my digestion is so much better, before I felt promblems with digestion, it was irritated easily. I have not found a meal more filling and better for my health than oats that I eat every day in the morning(eating breakfast is so important because if you skip breakfast your blood sugar levels will drop and you will feel it in change of mood, I think it is even very bad for health to skip breakfast).

However, when I was in an extended stay in Scotland that included our meals, we were served pinhead oatmeal everyday. There was no other source of protein, so this is what I ate. It sustained me well and I did not experience my normal reaction to oatmeal, which is a glucose drop. I was impressed so I ordered some from pinhead oatmeal online.

So much knowledge and wonderful advice on this channel, but I won’t be ceasing my daily bowl of oatmeal. Every morning I eat organic oats with almond milk, blueberries, walnuts and dark chocolate 🤤

[@dianasimplifies]

Sounds yummy! I put peanut butter on mine. Fills me up for hours.

[@gamersreactions9267]

My combo is 100g Oatmeal, 40g Blueberries, 100g Skyr (Cranberry), 150g Milk, 15g Walnuts. Actual God combo

My uncle was over the other day and we were talking about his health and how bad it is. I told him about healthy Keto. He said he was always baffled by how Grandpa could eat eggs and bacon and sausage every morning and had perfect cholesterol, and Grandma are oatmeal every morning and her cholesterol was through the roof. Makes sense now. Thank you!

[@kevinstarski1598]

What's going to make even more sense is this: Majority of cholesterol is made by our bodies, so in effect, what you eat has way less effect on it, than just how much your body naturally makes. Chances are if your grandparents switched diets, grandma's cholesterol would still be higher...

Hi Dr Berg. I eat large organic flat oats, every day. And I never tire from them, as I accompany the oats with different fruit. My LDLs are twice that of my HDLs so I’m avoiding cholesterol rich foods, such as eggs. I hope your data hasn’t come from the same people, telling us to avoid saturated fats and red meat. Listening to them, we’d all be eating bugs.

Y'all... Oatmeal is healthy. Just go with steel oats and organic if possible. Avoid added sugars.

changed my diet a year and a half ago. I eat steel cut oats now every day (only add almond butter, stevia, or fruit). Absolutely keeps me fuller longer than other foods. Cholesterol down almost 100 points and lower blood pressure with no medication. Aside from main stream "studies" I'll stick with my year and a half results

[@jellyjuniorgt]

yes, oatmeal is a good choice for breakfast because it's nutritious and has many health benefits: Fiber Oatmeal is high in fiber, which can help you feel full, improve your gut health, and ease your insulin response. Vitamins and minerals Oatmeal contains vitamins B and E, as well as minerals like magnesium and manganese. Heart health Oatmeal can help lower your cholesterol levels, which can reduce your risk of heart disease. Weight control Oatmeal can help you feel full for longer, which can help with weight management.

I buy organic/gluten free oats. Cook them in spring water. I eat a large bowl of these every morning with only rinsed frozen blueberries added. Two organic english muffins with organic peanut butter to go with. Not sure why I'm sharing this, but it's been a great kick-start to my day for about 10 years now.

I know this video isn't specifically about carbs, but I really wanted to ask this question, I'm hoping one day you'll do a video on this (I'll go back and check if you have). I have Italian heritage, and all my relatives in Italy eat an abundance of carbohydrates (especially pasta and bread). Yes, they eat a huge variety of vegetables and other things too, but pasta and bread are almost daily. My question to you is, how do they not have the same health issues that a lot of the Western World or other countries tend to have? My grandmother lived till 101, hardly any health problems and many of my other relatives are much the same. I am genuinely curious, I'm not having a dig at anyone who does keto, but as someone who personally struggles to reduce my carb intake, I'd love to learn more about this?

Don't be an apologist. My family and relatives in Greece eat white bread daily, it's ingrained in their lifestyle and has always been like this. They eat pasta, rice and potatoes in moderation too, plus Greek salad and cook in extra olive oil. The Med diet is one of the tops. All these Americanized keto fads are just that.....fads. Research has shown that the traditional way of keeping your diet in check is the correct one. Not these Yank fads.

Sorry not in agreement with this! My mom used to have high cholesteral, and had to take meds. Eating oatmeal most days of the week literally got her off the meds! Oatmeal is a very healthy meal for most people, don't believe everything you hear on KZbin! Combine it with some protein and it's even better!
