Raw Oats

[donescobar2000]

Do any of you guys eat raw oats? Its actually good that way.

I've tried eating raw straight out of the container - not too good. They're extremley dry and hard to swallow. I put like 1/2 cup raw oats in my shake in the morning and it's excellent (blended).

Too dry

I started putting Irish oats in a plastic bag. It is a decent snack at times. It is dry though.

I shred my oats in a blender, mix eggs, protein, and bake!

i just cook mine.... unless its my pre-workout shake and i'm feeling a bit hungry because my last meal was a bit small

then i'll add 1/2 cup to my shake and mix it with a fork, its nasty but drinkable just about

I've had them raw out of laziness, and even rice (hard to choke down though).

 

[donescobar2000]

RICE! Now that is lazy.

I put Oat's in my PWO shake.. and can someone remind me - are on outs high on the GI or low, and what keeps your insulin levels spiked the longest. Something High on the GI or something low on the GI. Thanks*

Oats are low on the index. High spikes your insulin.

as for which is better, lets not even go there!

 

[Mudge]

High GI spikes the insulin more than low GI, its not neccessarily amount of time it is quanity, but you could look at it in a yo yo versus steady slow release.

When you release large amounts of insulin over shorter periods of time you are going to metabolize that food faster, tending to store more of it probably as fat.

I usually have oats or piece of bread and a fruit (apple) the meal before workout... and I just started having whey protein with 1 cup skimmed milk as a PWO shake/meal

 

[oaktownboy]
