I'm a fan of the microwave pouches. Easy to store, easy to swallow. What more could a guy ask for?

I read those before, and I posted too and still wonder this : how the GI for whole oats or chopped up quick oats are any different - Once you eat them you chew them so they are all mush anyway so how is eating mush from large pieces and small pieces any different?

The process in which they make oats into quick oats changes the GI. They pre cut and cook the oats so it takes less time to cook them once you get em...it takes less time to cook and less time to digest. Whole oats take much longer to digest in your system where as quick oats digest at a much faster rate.

Understand?

Thats strange, i had an uncle named ben. He said he was a doctor, and always wanted to exmaine my private parts to make sure nothing was wrong with me. He never checked anything else though.

I didn't know he had his own brand of rice now...

j rizz · 01-24-2005, 10:00 PM

how important is it to follow to GI scale of foods???
so should you stray away from things listed int he red completely.. from the coldcure site?

I understand that the instant kind are pre-cooked, but the quick kind are different than the instant. I only read that the quick type oats are broken into smaller pieces and that's the only real difference.

BigDyl · 01-25-2005, 06:45 AM

Yeah he was Ben Aflecks Brother. Changed his last name though...

Tha Don · 01-25-2005, 07:26 AM

what about quaker original rolled oats?

they have to be low GI right, they have no sugar in em they are just regular porridge oats, 2-3 mins in the microwave n' they are done

i think i know the instant oats you are on about, they come in the sachets?

ReelBigFish · 01-25-2005, 11:46 AM

the oats your eating are good. As long as they dont say Quick or Instant of the containter your good.

They can say quick and be good

ReelBigFish · 01-25-2005, 10:27 PM

hmm...i just always thought that old fashioned was the best way to go and all the others were a good bit faster, but i haven't looked at any gi scales lately so i'm prolly wrong. But people could certainly do a lot more worse things that instant oats. but honestly after eating O.F. for so long and trying quick ones not that long ago, it was terrible. I guess im just so use to the bigger peices.

The packets are really bad for you..all the sugar and crap but the quick oats I believe they do par cook them for a little but as well make them smaller. The fact that they are smaller makes them much easier to digest which in turn burns faster...not what your looking for in oats. Its no major deal if every so often you have the quick oats but I would make it a regular thing...stick to the slow digesting whole oats. They take the same amount of time to nuke so i never understand why people don't eat them. I think the consitancy is much better as well.

You are correct my friend..they are the best route to go...and I agree the O.F. oats are much better then those little tiny pieces of the quick ones.

All's I was really trying to figure out is if they are indeed the same and only smaller pieces, then what differene does the size make when you chew them? When you chew, regardless of size, the food gets ground up into mush anyway so it's just something I don't understand. I didn't think they were pre-cooked, but they may be, and if that was the case I can see how the GI would be affected. I eat old fashioned oats myself, i'm just trying to learn something here. That's what it's all about anyway.
