I love porridge. I’m not sure there are many breakfast (carb) options that are lower GI. Carbs are pretty important for me if I’m riding 7 miles, and porridge is about the safest way to consume them. Anecdotally, I definitely feel full for longer after porridge, but that may just be because I’ve consumed more of it!
I’ve been trying steel-cut oats since they are apparently absorbed even slower, but no conclusions yet.
It’s documented in the book I suggested. But it’s also detailed here
I have to say that I don’t know the science behind fizzy drink consumption, but this triggered me:
I’d like to start this article by stating that from my experience as a community pharmacist helping people to get off medications for metabolic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity, I found if people drink diet sodas they still get the same problems as people who drink normal soda.
This is just nonsense. That’s not what community pharmacists do at all. The ‘Renegade Pharmacist’ is ticking all the boxes for a class A quack.
