grind up my oats in coffee grinder?

[SgtSlaughter]

Shredding or grinding the oats will raise the gi. Not really noteworthy, just thought I would post that in case anyone cares.
Might matter a bit if anyone is dieting.

AHH... Excellent Point!! .... on that note, I will continue to eat whole rolled oats

I like mixing 8egg whites and 1/2 cup of dry oats in a blender. Then just pour it in a frying pan. It makes one big pancake, much dryer consistency, but still pretty good. Add a little sugar free syrup and you almost think your eating pancakes for breakfast.

That sounds so good right now! I would kill for thin, crispy pankcakes... with real butter and fresh maple syrup from up here!!

I was thinking the same thing. Grinding defeats the purpose of eating them whole. You want to digest slowly not more quickly.

Why cause more work for your body? Slower digestion, i see no reason for this? Your body breaks down your food more when it enters the stomach so either way its going to get broken down. The oats are still going to have the same amount of carbs. It's food, it just doesnt just magically change if you grind it up.

Why? Well it would be important if you are dieting and looking to stay full longer between meals. Grinding and blending is a form of processing, which effects the GI index of the food-increases it. So if your body is doing less work that means less work or steps digesting the food, right (not including the extra work to grind them ). That means digestion happens faster.

Your body breaks down your food more when it enters the stomach so either way its going to get broken down.

Digestion starts at the mouth(chewing or grinding and ends when it comes out your ass), unless you have a feeding tube or ostomy bag.

The oats are still going to have the same amount of carbs.

Yeap, same amount different GI index though.

It's food, it just doesnt just magically change if you grind it up.
Think about the difference between whole grain bread and white bread?

It is really common sense if you think about it. Solid,whole foods take longer to digest and empty from the stomach than liquids do. I guess grinding oats to put in a PW shake would be better than eating them whole but there are easier and better carbs for that I would think. I just had never heard of grinding up the oats before.

Ha Ha!! Only if you try to smoke them, bro.

I was just wondering why the extra hassle to grind them up. That is just more time I have to spend and shit I would have to clean up (in addition to my can organizing, lock checking, dbol pill counting, test vial counting and towel straighten time ). I am a lazy bastard. I guess what I am trying to say to get back to your original question is I am in the no grinding of the oats category.

Oats do change some what when you grind them, but not much. Oats are weird that way.
