Steel Cut vs. Instant Oatmeal

Both are good sources of cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber.

Instant oats are the most heavily processed.  The groats have been chopped fine, flattened, pre-cooked & dehydrated before being packaged.  This makes them cook faster & digest faster, making you feel hungry sooner.

Steel-cut oats are the whole oat groat which have been cut into pieces.  Because they are less processed they take more time to digest keeping your blood sugar levels stable and keeping you feeling full twice as long as instant oats.

When it comes to blood sugar lower and slower is generally better.

Winner : Steel-cut oats

Pair oatmeal with egg whites and you’ll have the Breakfast of Champions
