Oatmeal is a high carb food.  Very high.

So, it increases your blood sugar levels and stimulates the secretion of insulin which acts to lower blood sugar levels to normal range.

It does have some fiber in it but not enough to offset the high carb content.

Oatmeal is not a keto friendly food.

Oatmeal does not reduce insulin levels.

You are correct Marty - oatmeal does decrease insulin levels because blood glucose is lowered.  Apparently that has been known for over 100 years. That's from peer reviewed medical research:

Why does it do that? I haven't researched it enough but I do know that betaglucans, the substance in oatmeal, flaxseed and other plants, has that effect on blood sugar. I'm sure it is a pretty complex biochemical process.

I thought when you eat a carb insulin is secreted then blood glucose goes down? Ive always felt the advantageous afro americans equation was different like eat sugar = insulin resistance or no insulin response= fat loss and muscle gain and high glucose

The reason it lowered her levels is because she ate very little carbs.  Effectively she was put on a low carb diet.

180 grams of oatmeal is 3/4 cup.  That plus the veggies had her likely in ketosis.

Ok doc, lol

Well, I'm serious.

20-50 grams of carbs per day puts most people into ketosis.

3/4 cup of oatmeal is only 35 grams carbs.  The veggies probably had little to zero carbs.

Such a low carb diet would level her blood sugar and require hardly any insulin for regulation.

Where they made an error was restricting the fat in her diet.  She must have been miserable.

bro... Reread it dumbass
