I'm finding out I don't have to eat breakfast. I have more energy, and I'm less hungry throughout the day. It was the best thing I ever did.

      Eating the right kind of carbohydrates in the evening, like whole grains or vegetables, can help you sleep better. These foods help your body produce serotonin, a brain chemical that makes you feel relaxed and helps you fall asleep. It's also important because they keep your blood sugar level steady throughout the night, preventing sleep disturbances. Just make sure to eat them a few hours before bedtime, so your body has time to digest. Remember, it's not just about what you eat, but also maintaining a regular bedtime and a comfortable sleeping environment to get good sleep.

      I think there is something miraculous about oatmeal, and it seems that the people who eat it everyday for years (coupled with a healthy overall lifestyle) seem to have a higher likelihood of living well into their 80s/90s. As with my grandparents, I read this time and again from people.

    I do eat oatmeal everyday BUT I use 1/4 cup of organic rolled oats soaked in 1 cup of Greek yogurt for 8 hours topped with 1/2 cup of wild blueberries and 1/4 cup of walnuts. Soaking them in Greek yogurt and eating it cold turns it into resistance starch for my microbiome and with the protein in the yogurt and fat in the walnuts that really blunts any blood sugar spike. Not everyone can or should do this but it works for me.

Over the years, I have determined my personal daily macro requirements and am on zero meds at 70+ years old with a normal BMI. (And I have eaten oatmeal and whole wheat bread for years.

      It wasn't necessarily that keto put you on statins... it's more likely to be the ignorance of doctors generally, and the misconceptions around blood lipids/diet and statins that dictated statins.

      Yes agreed. Try and keep oats organic but yes we all different. If you check out Tim Spector he points out everyone has a different microbiome even identical twins so what satisfies our hunger for longest time within reason is individual . Also different people get different blood sugar spikes from different foods. Tim Spector said his wife who is french by birth didnt get massive spikes when eating French bread but Tim who loved french bread did so unfortunately he decided it best to avoid most of time unless it a special treat. They both used blood sugar monitors to analyse what gave them spikes and what didnt. The more you learn about nutrition the more I believe you realise there are no hard and fast one size fits all fixes just general rules that wise to follow such as reduce or cut out added sugars as much as possible , eat organic if you can afford, favour high fibre nutritionally dence foods in preference to hyper processed foods such as cake and Pringles. Let’s face it I find Pringles so addictive given half a chance I would eat an entire tube in an evening zero real nutrition just junk . I did stop eating crisps and cake/biscuits for around 10 months and guess what I lost 32 pounds………small modifications to diet swapping poor foods for better ones like 25 grams of nuts for Pringles can make a real difference.

I had a moment of disgust after noticing my fishoil D3- vit capsels were coated with gelatin from beef that Ive avoided for over 20 years. Idea of eating only meat isnt for me. After meaningful meetings with each animal species it gets hard to devour their flesh if the life has been taken too early. Lastly staring at deer and talking to her... probably going to finish my freezer storage and just stick to eggs for no on. Bests🎏

    I've been eating oats for breakfast literally from the day I was born. I stopped eating oats when I started keto, and gradually I got arthritis in my fingers. One morning I couldn't move any of my fingers at all. At that point for other reasons (for better bowel movements) I decided to start oatmeal again, I never expected it would have an effect on my arthritis, but miraculously the very next day, I regained movement in my fingers to a large extent. It was totally unexpected and at first I couldn't understand why my condition had improved so dramatically. The only thing I did differently was the oats! My guess is that the soluble fiber fed the good bacteria and reduced inflammation. But after seeing what you have to say about Chia seeds, I think I will give that a try! Thank you.

      While adapting to keto it is so easy to get an imbalance in your electrolites due to the lack of carbohydrates. Also carbs get stored with water, if you don´t have carbs it´s easier to loose water and with that important minerals, such as magnesium, very important for your joints and muscles. I tried for about a month, just to experiment. Even though I knew this and paid attention by drinking water with some salt in the morning and taking mineral supplements, my body did not respond well. Everybody is different and has a different gut biome and metabolism.

I eat oatmeal about twice to three times a month when I’m craving sweet, creamy things (always around my period). I do rolled oats boiled in full-fat goat milk, add vanilla extract, Stevia or Allulose to sweeten, a pinch of salt and abit of cinnamon or nutmeg. I top with crushed almonds and walnuts, pumpkin seeds, ground flax seed, chopped up 70% dark chocolate and chopped fruits (usually banana or berries). If I’m feeling abit extra, I even add abit of ghee or pure butter. I eat it warm, and it’s not just delicious, but so comforting and satisfying when I’m PMSing and craving carbs…my body is just wired to crave carbs + fat + sweet and/or creamy things during that time of the month. Sometimes I’ll also make chicken Alfredo using low-carb pasta and chicken breast during that time eventhough I don’t usually care for it, I try to make the healthiest version of it without compromising taste too much.

      No added sugar, and plenty of fiber to slow down glucose absorption, plenty of protein, some unsaturated fat and fermented dairy. And it helps my digestion. I tend to eat that when I get constipated. Fills me up pretty well. Maybe because I add so many other things to it as well.

    Very interesting, balanced presentation. I'm relieved to learn that i'm probably not ruining my health by eating oats everyday for breakfast. I do it more out of habit than pleasure. Don't add sugar, just a bit of cinnamon, walnuts and pumpkin seeds which hopefully take care of my prostate and general health.

    I ate overnight oats for breakfast for 185 days straight. I moved to oats from pancakes/bread/cereal. I can say. I felt a lot more full and energized. It was amazing.
    I eat my oatmeal with: milk(full fat), greek yogurt(full fat), chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, wallnuts, ground almond, cinnamon, a fruit and some berries. I used to have a sweetener, but not anymore. Always drinking only water.
    Lately I started eating omelette for every other day. I feel a lot more energized again. This just proves the fact that oatmeal is good, but you can still go to great. My problem now however was that even if I had 4 eggs I felt very hungry. So I combined it with some bacon and a salad.
    Now I feel like I reached the best combination so far. I decided to keep eating the oatmeal for every other day because of all the variety of different foods I'm consuming. Never felt better in my life.

    I'm glad you pointed out that oats affect different people in different ways. I've always eaten oatmeal since I was a kid. Typically a bowl a day. Mind you, I use the plain whole grain oats (not the kind with the added sugar or treats in them) cooked with unpasteurized milk... with bananas and blueberries tossed in with some honey to top it off. Always fills me up, never leaves me feeling bloated or hungry.
    A few of my friends would see me eating it and say it's bad for me and I was always like "how though?! What about it is bad?" This video helped shed light on some of the downsides, but I figure as long as I stay active and avoid processed foods, plain oats aren't going to hurt me much, if at all.

    I dont dispute most of what you say Sten, but comparing an oats based breakfast with your eggs & avocado, the costings are at great variance. Currently here in UK, a 45g portion of good quality oats costs £0.09, whilst the frozen cherries i have with it would cost £0.32 and £0.19 for 15 g milled chia seeds, total cost £0.66, with a very small portion of semi skimmed milk costing pennies, under £0.04. Your version would cost £0.43 for 1/2 avocado, £0.62 for 2 free range eggs, not to mention the costs of the vegetables and evoo you suggest. With one tabsp costing about £0.20, never mind the rest of the veggies, probably adding up to a total of over £1.40, that is double the cost of the oats breckfast. For most of the population needing to get healthier, working class people, in a cost of living crisis, the choice is a no-brainer!

I like to do what is called overnight quick oats with whole milk. My favourite combo is ground flax seed for extra fibre, nuts for more protein and fats, raisins, cinnamon and a little maple syrup which is lower on the glycemic index for a sugar. I went to that as my go to from store bought bread, peanut butter and jam. I feel it did help me lose some stubborn weight that I was having difficulty with and I am able to keep it off. I feel more satiated in the morning and I feel it gives my the energy for my workout and job. On my days off I do eggs. I’m a big breakfast guy would not miss it.
