[racoon_city]

hey guys i was wondering who grinds up there oats in a grinder? im going out tonight to buy one.

 

[sublime35]

I do, it works great.

 

[racoon_city]

then i can just drink it...right?

 

[sublime35]

yeah, mix it in w/ some milk or water, protein powder, maybe some natty pb and splenda to sweeten it up.

 

[tommymac]

lol wtf u wanna do that for!!!!!!

just buy Oat bran which is pretty much what ur gonna have, when ur done grinding it up

 

[SgtSlaughter]

Hmm, I'm going to have to try that.

My usual is to pour oats (and flax seed) into bowl, add water... microwave, and add all natural raspberry jam for flavor (depending on diet).

I started out eating the dry crap without microwaving it... and then I was enlightended.

why not use a blender?

I've used oats in a protein shake that I put in a quite large and semi-commecial use blender and the heavy oat particles always fall to the bottom. No good IMHO.

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.

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.

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

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.

 

[racoon_city]

no bro!!!if you grind up the oats it makes them combustable like gun powder and you will die!


LOL!!!!! people need some OCD meds around here

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.

Dont mind the GI!

Diabetes Care 28:2832-2838, 2005, Dietary Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load, Carbohydrate and Fiber Intake, and Measures of Insulin Sensitivity, Secretion, and Adiposity in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study

"We studied the association of digestible carbohydrates, fiber intake, glycemic index, and glycemic load with insulin sensitivity (SI), fasting insulin, acute insulin response (AIR), disposition index, BMI, and waist circumference.

Data on 979 adults with normal (67%) and impaired (33%) glucose tolerance... were analyzed.

No association was observed between glycemic index and SI, fasting insulin, AIR, disposition index, BMI, or waist circumference after adjustment for demographic characteristics or family history of diabetes, energy expenditure, and smoking.

Associations observed for digestible carbohydrates and glycemic load, respectively, with SI, insulin secretion, and adiposity (adjusted for demographics and main confounders) were entirely explained by energy intake.

Carbohydrates as reflected in glycemic index and glycemic load may not be related to measures of insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and adiposity."

J Nutr. 2005 Oct;135(10):2387-91. Reduced glycemic index and glycemic load diets do not increase the effects of energy restriction on weight loss and insulin sensitivity in obese men and women.

"Reducing the dietary glycemic load and the glycemic index was proposed as a novel approach to weight reduction. A parallel-design, randomized 12-wk controlled feeding trial with a 24-wk follow-up phase was conducted to test the hypothesis that a hypocaloric diet designed to reduce the glycemic load and the glycemic index would result in greater sustained weight loss than other hypocaloric diets.

At 12 wk, weight changes from baseline were significant in all groups but not different among groups (-9.3 +/- 1.3 kg for the HGI diet, -9.9 +/- 1.4 kg for the LGI diet, and -8.4 +/- 1.5 kg for the HF diet). All groups improved in insulin sensitivity at the end of the feeding phase of the study. During the free-living phase, all groups maintained their initial weight loss and their improved insulin sensitivity.

Weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity scores were independent of diet composition.

In summary, lowering the glycemic load and glycemic index of weight reduction diets does not provide any added benefit to energy restriction in promoting weight loss in obese subjects."

Diabetes Care. 2005 Sep;28(9):2123-9. Influence of glycemic index/load on glycemic response, appetite, and food intake in healthy humans.

High glycemic index (GI)/load (GL) diets reportedly enhance appetite and promote positive energy balance. Support for this hypothesis stems largely from acute feeding trials and longer-term studies lacking control over the macronutrient composition and palatability of test foods. This study evaluated the effects of consuming high- and low-GI/GL meals, matched on macronutrient composition and palatability, plasma glucose and insulin, appetite, and food intake.

Thirty-nine healthy adults consumed only low- or only high-GI foods ad libitum in the laboratory for 8 days in either high (three foods per meal)- or low (one food per meal)-variety conditions. Glucose and insulin concentrations as well as appetitive sensations were determined before and for 2 h following breakfast and lunch on days 1 and 8. Energy intake was monitored daily.

There were no significant differences in plasma glucose or insulin responses, appetitive ratings, or food intake between treatments.

These data indicate that the differential glycemic response of foods tested in isolation under fixed time are not preserved under conditions of chronic ad libitum consumption of mixed meals."

Nice post. I have always considered glycemic index way overrated.

But, on the other hand, for instance when contest dieting, I would never take the chance.

Tru, and besides, if you eat according to the GI you often get good food with hight nutritional value. Just dont overestimate it.

 

[Lifterforlife]

Actually, I believe the II index of much more relevance. For instance as your study shows, and looking at the GI index, M&M's have a lower GI than canned pinto beans. So, taking this into consideration, as some of those tricky foods that show up low to moderate on the GI/GL are still high on the II...and when it comes down to it, serum insulin levels are more important to be aware of than glucose levels.
