Lol. Chiropractors are not nutrition specialists. And that is unreal advice he is giving you. Please don't listen to that. Oatmeal, especially sugar free, is a solid carb. Continue to eat and do so knowing you're just fine
Cheers!

A solid carb? I thought it was sticky?!?
Perhaps when it's baked as an oat bar it loses its stickiness and becomes solid?4 -

Oatmeal is not bad. No food is bad.
Oatmeal is not something I eat because it is too calorie dense and not filling for me. I don't touch it though I think it's delicious, but apparently it works well in a balanced diet for others.2 -

I had some oatmeal this morning, apples for a snack, and veggies from a bag for lunch. Will I die?8

All my scottish family lived past 90 on oats every morning for breakfast0

The change was when foods became easier to get.I went to this new chiropractor, and he's gotten into the habit of asking me "did you skip the oatmeal?" When I come in for my appointments. He told me that oatmeal is "sticky carbs" and if I didn't eat it for a week, I would lose 4 pounds.
Let me clarify: I eat one package of no sugar added oatmeal every morning, sometimes with a small scoop of peanut butter. The oatmeal is simply ROLLED OATS. One packet is 100 calories. I would skip the packages and get the big tub of rolled oats instead, but the packages at are easy to keep in my small drawer at work. So I can make some as soon as I get to the office after my morning workout.
I thought plain pats were a good complex carb that I was "allowed" to eat/ especially in the morning!
My head is spinning. Help!!!
I just think back to a time when there were no processed foods. What did our ancestors eat? Grains? Wheat? Oats? Fruit? When did obesity become a thing? What was the change?

My guess is that he is anti vaccination as well. My advice ....... run and find a new chiropractor that does not spout garbage.1

I say, if you continue to see him, walk in every day bragging about how much you love oatmeal and apples all day every day. See how long it takes him to realize you're messing with him.3

Totally freak him out and say that you have switched from an apple to a banana! That will get his heart beating.2 -
Cutting out oatmeal will make you lose 4 pounds in a week? A "doctor" said this? Bwahahahaha!1

All of the little Irish women in my family make it into their 80s and 90s, but the primarily Scottish and Germanic males croak in their 50s and 60s. Clearly, potatoes will save your life, and oatmeal will give you cancer of the AIDS.
I'm sure that all of the smoking and booze has nothing to do with it.

Your Chiropractor is a moron... "Sticky carbs"???
Really? No such thing - only time I've heard that term is when it came to tooth decay and sticky carbohydrates, such as raisins, stick to your teeth and break enamel down.
Rolled oats are high in slow-digesting, blood-sugar-friendly carbs that is chock full of fiber and low in fat. Personally, I eat oatmeal or cream of rice prior to my workout not after like you but either way it's a healthy meal/snack as long as your not loading it up with sugar!1 -

You're already dead.
This thread needs this recipe of Kim's Cravings that was posted via the MFP blog. I think it looks pretty good. I'm planning on making it and having some later.

My Irish/German grandfather sat down with my Mom one day when he was about 95 and she taped him talking about himself, the family history, his past, etc. When she asked him "to what do you owe your longevity?" his immediate answer (coupled with a fist on the table) "a bowl of oatmeal every morning". He lived to 96. Mom lived to 95.
Yes, she saved the tapes and we have since had them transcribed and also copied to MP3. Love hearing Grandpa's voice.12 -
Chances are that people eating oatmeal on a regular basis have also good life habits.0

Get a new chiropractor. He's full of it.
I, and millions of other people, eat oatmeal on a regular basis. In fact, I eat it every weekday morning for breakfast.
Continue to eat your oatmeal, and.....enjoy!0 -

No, it's not, generally. But that particular one is. He has no business advising someone on their diet. Not sure why anyone would even get into that conversation with their chiropractor.
I agree, chiropractic is *definitely* not quack. But - just like any other profession - some get off the rails and veer into "holistic and naturopathic healing." Which IS a bunch of woo. 1 -

I have a nurse at my work who freaks out at me for giving out 120ml glasses of chocolate milk in the afternoon with a cookie Once every 2 weeks because it's too much sugar. The registered dietitian however who works there is perfectly fine with it and as i've come to find out the nurse is actually just against sugar herself and is imposing her personal beliefs on 25 clients at the nursing home who should be allowed to drink a tiny glass of chocolate milk and a damn cookie at 90 years old if they want to!
Judas priest, they're 90 and in a nursing home. Tell her to let them smoke crack if they want to, they've earned it.

The guy is crazy. He may have had someone lose 4 lbs of water weight, which seemed to correlate with cutting oatmeal. Oatmeal with PB is my mainstay, it's helped me lose 25lbs so far this year. Like you said, each packet is just 100 calories.I went to this new chiropractor, and he's gotten into the habit of asking me "did you skip the oatmeal?" When I come in for my appointments. He told me that oatmeal is "sticky carbs" and if I didn't eat it for a week, I would lose 4 pounds.

When I do long training runs, I eat 4 cups of old fashioned or rolled oats (that's 1200 calories) plus some molasses, an apple, one or two bananas, cocoa powder, and some agavé. I've lost 20+ lbs eating this 4+ days a week...so I don't think it's bad for you.0

I eat (instant/"3 minute") steel cut oats pretty frequently and I'm still losing weight. I add frozen blueberries for flavor and it is hard to eat a whole serving. It is really filling. I don't know if steel cut is really any different from the other stuff but I like it. The instant is in smaller pieces than the stuff that takes 20 minutes to cook.1
