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 -
....that was supposed to be funny right?0

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

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.2 -
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
