are you referring to the quick oats or the instant oats? The only thing in the quick oats are 100% rolled oatsJodi said:Yes, the 1 minute stuff is over processed. Regular rolled oats only takes 3 mins. in the microwave and they are much better for you.
The one minute oats are processed, that's how they cook faster. Processed foods breaks down faster, that's why the regular oats are better and the steel-cuts oats even better.JoeR. said:Yea can someone explain why regular oats are better then the 1 min? I mean its the exact same ingrediant just look like they put it in a blender. Some people, like me, dont care about the extra time but I like the texture better with the 1 min Oats. Plus the regular Oats bubble up spilling all over my microwave
aren't the instant oats just the ones that are processed?Pepper said:The one minute oats are processed, that's how they cook faster. Processed foods breaks down faster, that's why the regular oats are better and the steel-cuts oats even better.
The regular oats don't bubble up if you have the right amount of water.
Isn't that what I said...instant=minute oats?aztecwolf said:aren't the instant oats just the ones that are processed?
same ingredients yes....but the are processed, they are pressed so that they can cook in a shorter amount of time. this takes them away from their natural state and raises the glycemic index of them since they are broken down faster, like pepper said. how much of a difference does it make? Who the hell knows??1min = same as regular but cook fast, only ingrediant rolled oats; cook time around 2 min
true but I often wonder how much it matters with the 1min. oats. I mean I eat the regular oats because i like the taste of them better. But you are not eating the oats by themself. They are included in a meal with protein and fat (I hope) which is going to slow down the insulin response anyway so again, is it that big a deal if one were to use the 1min. oats? Who knows?Determination said:well one of the main reasons you're having the oatmeal is because it's a slow burning starchy carb that will help you control your insulin levels. Besides the fact that it's healthy as all hell.
So having the processed fast digesting kind of oatmeal kinda defeats the purpose of you choosing oats in the first place, doesn't it?
If you're just switching the way you eat, you'll get results regardless. Once your body adjusts, eating as cleanly as possible will only help you maximize your results.
No, they are finecjrmack said:So if you put regular oats in a shake and they get chopped up they are not as good for you? I am so confused. Should I just put the oats in the shake without processing them in the blender?
Johnnny said:I buy the %100 Natural Old Fashioned Quaker Oatmeal as opposed to the 1min stuff. I don't think it's as good for you as the %100 Old Fashioned Oatmeal is & it's not much different in price.
Duh, that's why I gave my opinion about it just like everyone else has here.Did you even bother to read any of the thread....
& from what I can see most ppl think the 1min oatmeal is processed therefore not as good as the %100 natural old fashioned oatmeal.You are, but as you can see we were trying to base it on fact.
My opinion still stands that the %100 natural old fashioned oatmeal is much better for you.Yes, the 1 minute stuff is over processed. Regular rolled oats only takes 3 mins. in the microwave and they are much better for you.
