hi guys dr. Berg here here’s the

question can I eat oatmeal on a

ketogenic diet will it Bob me out of

fat-burning okay let’s talk about that

so the first thing you need to know is

that there’s two types of oatmeal one is

the steel-cut I guess it’s called the

Irish or Scottish oatmeal which is

unrefined and then you have the instant

oatmeal which is usually with a ton of

sugar or brown sugar okay well if you

take a look at the glycemic index still

cut it’s about 55 not terribly high not

terribly low a bit too high for a

ketogenic diet though so it does tend to

turn in sugar somewhat and then you have

the instant look at 83 so that’s good

that’s evil without the sugar so it’s

going to convert to sugar pretty fast

because it’s more refined so so the more

glycemic it is the worse it is for your

weight loss okay so number one you never

want to consume the instant oatmeal you

don’t want to do it and you definitely

don’t want to buy that packets with the

added sugar because it’s not healthy at

all as far as nutrients in oatmeal there

is a small amount of nutrients I’m not

saying it’s completely avoid but it does

have something called beta glucan which

is something that is helpful for

cholesterol okay but here’s the point if

you’re trying to lose weight and you’re

on a ketogenic diet and keeping your

carbs really low it’s not a good idea to

consume oatmeal okay because it’s going

to slow you down if you’re not trying to

lose weight go ahead and consume but

just make sure to still cut yes it takes

longer to make but it’s healthier okay

then this stuff over here alright that’s

my answer
