hello
i'm currently on phase two and would like to start eating oatmeal once in awhile. however, according to the plan instant oatmeal is not good and oatmeal that you have to cook is better. there are no specialty stores in my area just the local grocery and they have quaker oatmeal. you have to cook it for several minutes. Is this considered the better oatmeal or is this still instant?
thanks

| Yes, plain old Quaker Oatmeal is what they mean. They want the kind you have to cook a while, not the instant kind because it is already processed. Obviously, you don't want the kind with flavors because they are full of the devil, sugar! |

I microwave the regular 1 minute quaker oats and it turns out just fine.
You may play around with the time, but mine does it with 1minute 30 seconds.
-Tastes good to add cinnamon and Equal/Splenda
-Pumpkin pie spice is very tasty too. |

Thanks for that idea, Greta.
Now is there a post anywhere stating that local stores are sold out of the book, and we need a recipe plan to start tomorrow, Jan. 1?
I'm new, obviously. Are there moderators who'll just delete any duplicate threads? Never mind, I'll just look around. Thanks again. |

| OK so I am safe to assume, my Quaker 100 percent whole grain oatmeal in the cannister that says quick one minute is ok? Please say yes! (phase 2 of course) |

| The book makes a distinction between quick oats and regular cooking oats. In quick oats, some of the fiber is removed to speed up the cooking process. I have not looked yet (I just started P1 this week), but I expect that if you compare the label on regular (5 minute) oats and quick cooking oats, the quick oats will have less fiber. The presence of fiber slows down the absorption of the sugars (from carbs). |

| wow thanks for the quick response, so you think that's the only difference? If so I might go for it, as I am getting the fiber in other places, hmmmmmmmm wonder what to do Good luck with your pHase 1 hang in there! |

| I think the Quaker old fashioned is fine. I did find some"Irish Oats" and made it. I soaked it overnight and then cooked about 15 minutes the next morning. It was really good and chewy, which is satisfying, plus had great fiber. Not worth the effort too often though. |

| Does anyone know the difference between the steel cut oats that you soak overnight and the steel cut oats that don't require overnight soaking? I got some of the latter (steel cut, no overnight soaking). Is that just as good as the overnight variety? |

Hi, i just bought my first quaker oats after i started SBD. in my area i can't find any old fashion oatmeal, the store only have quick cooking oatmeal and instant oatmeal.
and when i read thru the ingredient and nutrition facts, i found this clause" we never take anything or add in anything" . so i presume that
this should be alright.. any comments ?? (Quaker oatmeal)
I also found there are rolled oat on the shell in the packet.. i think this should be okay for Phase 2 too...tot.. :) |

Steel Cut Oatmeal is supposed to be the best, by far.
I heard it's really easy to cook by using your rice cooker (that's been sitting in the closet unused lately). You can soak them overnight in the rice cooker cooking bowl... |

In my Journal, on page 3 I think, I posted a recipe for steel cut oatmeal that you cook overnight in a crock pot.
The recipe is from Alton Brown on the foodtv website.
Its really easy and tasty. |

I have checked the labels and they are exactly the same. |

The books says specifically not to use quick oats. They are processed and remove some of the work your body has to do to digest it.
Buy whole Oats, irish oats as listed above are good too. You can also cook irish oats in the crockpot as the good eats/Alton Brown suggests. |
