A couple of weeks ago I asked on my Facebook page if there was anything in particular you’d like me to write about, and a guy named Malcolm asked me what my opinion was on oats.

So…

I thought I would answer via a vlog, and I would like to do this regularly so if there’s a question you’d like me to answer, please leave a comment below this vid or on my Facebook page!

 

 

My Opinion On Oats

I used to love eating a good old fashioned bowl of oats for brekky! There’s something very comforting about warm porridge in winter with cinnamon, blueberries and honey…reminds me of being a kid!

But…

When I started learning more about nutrition, I opened my awareness more to how my body responded to eating grains such as oats….and it wasn’t that great.

These are my issues with oats:

• Oats contain phytic acid which is an anti-nutrient that blocks the absorption of minerals
• Oats contain a small amount of gluten which is a poison that breaks down the lining of your gut wall
• Oats are high in carbs which raises your blood sugar levels sky high
