And as long as you're not diabetic that is 100% fine.  Get off TicTok.  Blood sugar fluctuations are completely normal in non diabetics.  [/quote]

For sure. My post was making fun of the TikTok dorks on here talking about blood sugar spikes. Meanwhile, in the history of mankind no person has managed to put themselves into metabolic disfunction eating oatmeal unless they also load it with big piles of sugar and junk. People are hilarious, but it does help you realize which side of the bell curve you fall on. [/quote]

Is it being a “Tiktok dork” or is it knowing how nutrition works? Oatmeal is great for you, but ideally you’re pairing it with some fat/fiber/protein to hold you over longer because any meal or snack that is just carbs isn’t going to keep you full for very long. Adding some berries, nuts or nut butter, yogurt is going to make that oatmeal keep you full until lunch, which is the whole point of breakfast. Same reason you add protein/fat to an apple snack.
