Naw.

It's really simple.

Low fat plant based whole foods....low fat is key (10% of diet)

for T2D prevention/reversal.

As for oatmeal, make it savory.

Stuff it with spinach, onions, turmeric...whatever spice.

It's really a no-brainer.

@sidsmom   I have never heard of putting spinach or onions or any of those spices in oatmeal...    That's a new one on me.. So it must not be a 'no-brainer' as you called it...

I think every mom on Earth has used oats in a meatloaf dish.

Translation = savory oats.

Oats are a simple starch...like potatoes, rice, corn, quinoa....

Sweet or savory....explore the options. Expand the palette💛

While some people use oats in meatloaf instead of breadcrumbs I cannot envision ever putting onions or anything savory in oatmeal.

@sidsmom   Yes, I am very aware of putting oatmeal in a meatloaf mixture.  I thought you meant adding spinach to plain oatmeal and eating it that way, which I had never heard of...  I don't think eating meatloaf would help with lowering cholesterol at all.

You're right! Oatmeal in meatloaf would be anything but healthy!

In America, we've been conditioned by media to see oats as a

'sweet' dish & nothing more. Many cultures will use oats as a

porridge base w/ the addition of vegetables, eggs & meat. 

I started using spinach on top of my sweet oats so they wouldn't

boil over in the microwave!  Adding spinach to sweet oatmeal

would be a good start...it literally has no taste but you get

all the vit/min benefits to start the day. And go from there!

Tons of recipes, if you need them, on Google.
