Carbs/ oatmeal

[Stovo]

@Jannes The issue is the daily recommended amounts are not necessarily the optimum amounts for the best health possible. They're mostly just bare minimums. 

I'm not totally against wholegrains, I eat oats and rice regularly, the issue is when they become too big a portion of your diet that they start replacing nutritious foods like meat. 

That being said, we're all different and you should just eat whatever makes you personally feel best.

I eat oats for breakfast, and sometimes before bed as they help me sleep, any idea why?

Relatively high Tryptophan content in oat is a possible explanation for that sleepiness

. 

@Michael569 Pretty sure they are also high in melatonin

@Craigxt22  Also a possible insulin response?

Hi,

 

I notice Leo is very anti carbs, grains, bread, wheat. Does that mean eating oatmeal is bad?  

Oatmeal is great for you.  Keep you feeling fuller throughout the day too...I'm on a generally low carb diet and I still eat Oats 4 or 5 days a week as one of my carb choices.    Great with berries.
