Is Oatmeal Good for Weight Loss? (15+ BEST FOODS FOR INSULIN RESISTANCE)

I used to have oatmeal every morning with a banana, walnuts, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Then I started learning about the role insulin plays in weight gain and thought, “Is oatmeal even good for weight loss?” Is it really as healthy as I’ve been led to believe?
Or is there a healthier breakfast option that will help me shed the rest of this baby weight?” This episode is going to answer that question, teach you how to reverse insulin resistance with diet, and give you the 15 best foods for insulin resistance.

What if you eat oats without the chocolate chips, honey and a Whole banana, but instead with chia seeds and shredded coconut and almonds and scrambled egg on the side. Would that be so bad? Honestly oatmeal gets me full and my stomach feels a lot better.

I was overweight as a teen. Tried all the fad diets and sadly I think keto is one of them. Fast weight loss but awful constipation and fast weight gain when you eventually find it’s unsustainable. Discovering gluten free organic oats was a game changer. It’s proven in hundreds of studies that caloric deficit is the only way to achieve lasting weight loss and oats keep you fuller longer and give you energy. If you add low carb berries, chia seeds and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, you’re not even thinking about food until the evening when you can load up on veggies and protein. Balance, satiating foods and calorific deficit guarantee sustainable weight loss, so keep the oats without the sugar-spiking supplementals.

Thank you for the information. I lost a lot of weight (over a stone and a half) with intermittent fasting 16 hours plus per day, I have totally cut out snacking to avoid continous insulin spikes, I have stopped using seed oils and now include healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, avacado fruit and oil and, cocunut oil I I have included sweet potato, no more than a half of a small to medium sweet potato a day, I replace rice with quinoa.I have oatmeal once per week which I sweeten with monk fruit sweetener and a teaspoonful of honey, I used to use spenda, but I have stopped using this form of sweetener, this action has been supported by information in your podcast and other sources. I also add spices like cinnamon and nutmeg which have been shown to have very good health-giving properties, I eat vegetables like artichokes, cauliflower, brocolli, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes. For protein I include mixed raw nuts, chick peas, lentils, chicken, fish and occasionally pork. I love fruits, and regularly eat fruits such as mangoes, grapes, tangerines, berries, apples. I wondered why healthy fruits are not included in your dietary recommendations. I tend to eat the fruits in the mornings which include dried prunes for a number of minerals and micro nutrients that have been found to increase bone density ( I have osteoporosis). Prior to eating these fruits, I drink a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar mixed in half a mug of water, which has been found to reduce insulin rises because of its acedic acid component. I also exercise five /6 days of week, which varies from cardio exercises, strength training with weights and pilates on a pilates reformer. I not only lost the weight, but I have kept it off for the past 8 months as this way of eating works for me not only in terms of losing weight, but also for brain health.

It almost makes me feel like there's some other factor at work. I definitely eat over 200 carbs daily but all my food comes from whole plants and never added oils or sugars. Oatmeal is a staple for me and I've lost 40 pounds in 5 months and kept it off for the last 3 months so far and never felt better. The diet in this video I'm sure works but I hate seeing people claim one thing works best for all when there might be a bigger picture to see. I wonder if genetics influences what our optimal diet would be and it wound vary around the world

Crohn's disease for 17 years, 6ft and now 150 lbs. I ditched the "crohns" diet 8 years ago when I hit 230lbs. since then, Ive ate 4 eggs and oatmeal using coconut milk, and usually put blueberries or raspberries and dark chocolate in. Ill do a lil honey in my coffee zo I dont Dd sweetener to my oats. lunch is usually salad and vegetables feom garden either fresh or what I canned last year, along with zome types of fish. some day lunch will be some type of beans or lentils with quinoa, kale, edamame, rice, lentils of any combination with some vegetables from garden and still fish. dinner is some type of meat and veggies with maybe a sweet potato or quinoa/ split pea. 80lbs weight loss and was able to come off all Crohn's meds last year. Not in remission but able manage it still with diet. If I have a flare up then my diet has to change to a high complex carb diet until it lets up. in general, oats are not the enemy, its what we are adding to it. a banana, chocolate chips, and honey w/o the oats would have spiked insulin the same. oats are getting a bad wrap because people are ignoring what they are adding to it. No oats are not a superfood, but they are not a bad source for breakfast if the right things are with it. ✌❤

It is precisely getting your insulin under control that will allow the weight loss. Calories are not a way to measure how any food you eat works in your body, and that absolutely does matter.

[@fakiirification]

This is correct. Calories in vs calories out is pretty much it. you could eat 4000 calories worth of vegetables every day and you would gain weight without an ounce of sugar or insulin involved. you cant change the laws of thermodynamics, and your body is a heat engine. that said, insulin is a very important thing to understand and get under control. keep sugar intake to a minimum. especially added sugar, avoid that like the plague. if you eat something sweet make sure its fruit. the sugar is meant to be there, because its balanced out by fiber content.

Oats in smaller portions are fine, especially if you eat them in the context of a higher fat/protein meal such as chia seed pudding with some oats for texture. Or just the occasional bowl of oatmeal but you could add more fat/protein with peanut butter and nuts vs putting a banana and chocolate chips on top along with the BP and banana which is what I used to do....

[@drmorgannolte]

With insulin resistance a lower carb approach will work better. You could increase the portions of egg and protein and decrease the portions of oats. I'm not sure your level of physical activity, but that would matter as well. The best time to eat the carbs is 30-40 minutes following your workout.

Right I keep seeing these videos that oats are bad but they're kind of disingenuous because obviously if you top it with a gang of sugar and chocolate chips its gonna be unhealthy. Like duh. But oatmeal with healthy toppings is fine. Just like people that have a salad but put a bunch of unhealthy junk on top which is just as many calories and carbs as a big mac. I wish they would word these videos differently because people are confused thinking oatmeal is bad. Gonna sense should make someone realize the sugary things you top it with are the culprit. I don't even use honey. I do miss honey and honey is so therapeutic to me but I use keto artificial honey with monk fruit. It gives me the feeling in my mind that I'm eating honey. Its also sugar free carb free granola's and chocolate chips

I had severe hypoglycemia many years ago and am now morphing more into pre-diabetes despite the fact that I am thin. Many years ago when my endocrine system blew and I was having severe, life destroying hypoglycemia, a diabetes specialist where I worked got curious about how my body was responding during a week when I wore a 24-hour blood glucose meter. I had eaten a half cup of oats with an ounce of soy protein powder and cinnamon. My blood sugar skyrocketed and then plummeted dramatically, making me sick. She asked me to eat the exact same thing for a couple of days in the morning but add fat to it to see how my body responded. Sure enough, my blood sugar did not skyrocket and gradually went up like it's supposed to do and then gradually came down. Relatedly, I did really good on a super high carb very low fat vegan diet in the mid 1990s for about 2 years. But all of a sudden I started having dramatic blood sugar swings and started gaining weight despite not changing anything. My endocrine system basically threw in the towel. I am becoming increasingly convinced from numerous years of experience that keeping insulin low and your blood sugar stable is much more important than how many calories you eat. I can eat a lot more calories per day and stay slim if I control how many carbohydrates I eat. That being said, I am not anti-carbohydrate and do need some or I don't have any energy at all.

Is teff porridge good for us? Or maybe the fermented gluten free injera?

[@drmorgannolte]

Interesting question. I'd never heard of Teff, here's a link to a comparison of Teff and oats: foodstruct.com/compare/teff-uncooked-vs-oats. It doesn't seem much better but if you can find ways to add protein, healthy fat, and fiber it's great.

[@tlee3838]

The problem is not the oatmeal. It's the banana, the peanut butter, the chocolate chips, and the honey that you add on. Instead of that, buy a Rotisserie chicken from any supermarket. Take off the skin and shred the white meat and cook with oatmeal. Garnish with julienned ginger, scallion, and flavor with a bit of soy sauce and white pepper, in other words, cook a Chinese breakfast porridge with oatmeal instead of rice. A rotisserie chicken would last for 14-20 breakfasts. You can use a 3-quart saucepan to make a week's breakfast. Your A1C should come down. Mine came down from 6.1 to 5.9 in one year. My friend is doing the same thing except he uses flounder filet instead of chicken.(Update) I have also started Dr. Fung's fasting program to drop my weight.

I'm prediabetic. I stopped oatmeal for a while because I thought it would raise blood sugar. But started again. I ate oatmeal with strawberries and blueberries yesterday with coconut milk. I used to put in a banana, but I'm cutting back on bananas right now (I used to eat one banana a day). I checked my blood sugar 2 hours later and it was 106. I certainly don't eat oatmeal every day. You're right, information out there is confusing. That's why now I usually check to see myself what raises my blood sugar and what doesn't. I know everyone is different. So, someone else might have a blood spike after eating oatmeal.

But I mean it’s not like oatmeal is unhealthy at its core and lacks nutrients etc. right? It does have some macros like fat and protein (but it depends on how it’s prepared I would think like obviously instant oats is bad, but I would think steel cut oats would be a better option and not raise insulin levels as much). It’s more like for average people with no metabolic problems it’s a healthy breakfast option, but it’s better to avoid it for people who may have insulin resistance. Is this a true statement? Someone was describing oatmeal as “empty calories” on another video, but I wouldn’t say it’s on the same level as soda or “detox juices” (no fiber and just tons of sugars in the juice)…?

Around 6:03 there should be a picture but there’s not :(

[@drmorgannolte]

Sorry :) Sometimes I made editing errors

[@jojogurl83021]

Maybe it was the chocolate chips and peanut butter 🤔

[@drmorgannolte]

Absolutely the chocolate chips, (I think honey), and banana that contributed to my difficulty losing weight at that time. Not just the oatmeal.

@@drmorgannolte Not yet. I will do that. Thanks.

i just watched your video and was disappointed with your misleading take on oatmeal. It is a very big stretch to compare the glycemic index of a breakfast consisting of instant oats, banana , honey and chocolate chips to that of say steel cut oats. I agree with the need to lower ones intake of complex carbs to fight against insulin resistance but the title of your video seems quite misleading.

[@drmorgannolte]

Thanks for watching and leaving this insight, Danny! I hate to demonize a food, as I agree it really depends on the person's overall dietary pattern, lifestyle, physical activity, etc. It was a highly searched for term which is why I made a video around it. But yes how I used to eat my oatmeal and a bowl of steel cut is very different :)

[@JareBareXP]

But alot of the carbs from oat meal is fiber and somehow its 0 sugar

I can literally up or lower my weight by 10-15lbs per month just by adding oatmeal to or taking it out of my daily diet so......... Not the same outcome with steel cut oats though.
