Quaker Oatmeal

[zidane123]

hello.

i have 2 oat meals at the house,both from quaker.

1.Quaker Quick Oats (100% NATURAL ROLLED OATS)
2.Old Fashioned Quaker Oats (100% NATURAL ROLLED OATS)

is there a difference in the GI?
and which is better to use please?

[RipStone]

The old fashioned oats have a lower-gi and are better to use for the most part. Quick oats are better only for PWO.

Stick with the quaker rolled oats bro, if u want to use the quick oats use them postworkout

I believe they are the same, and not lower GI. The only difference is that the quick oats are sliced into pieces to cook faster, while the old fasioned are whole. I've used both, and I think it's just preference.

But if you're talking about the small, flavored oatmeal packets which are filled with sugar, then I agree.

I don't see the reason behind quick oats. I make my oatmeal in less than 5 minutes...

Exactly, rolled oats take 5 mins tops.

The only difference in the oats is that the quick ones are cut up finer. So if you are grinding them up, what is the difference???

point taken, oats are one of the quickest things to prepare!

No, they are more processed and have much less fibre and stuff.

Thats how long it take for me to make mine...not couting putting water in the sause pan and measuring the oats in a cup.

Man..i can eat plain oatmeal everyday...without cinnamon or syrup .

But i'm still trying to use up the PB, Gingerbread, Macadamia nut...that doesn't taste that great on Pancakes....!!

Add a banana in there..and some walnuts..hmmmmm

Or maybe some almonds and blueberries..hmmm

or apple and cinnamon..hmmm

Strawberry on it doesn't taste that great to me.

not true, the quick oats have been processed further.
imho,
rolled oats > quick cooking oats > instant oatmeal
the more processed something is, the more not-good it is, normally.
jsut go by that guide, and you should be fine.
