    Lol supposed to eat oatmeal? Who says. I eat no grain foods whatsoever, and I'm losing weight and healthier than I've EVER been. Don't eat it, try bacon and eggs for breakfast instead, you'll feel so much better.

    Are you using quick-cooking oatmeal, or the real stuff? The real stuff (steel cut, or even rolled oats) has some texture to it. Add raisins or apples to it to add a little variety.

    OP, you don't have to eat oatmeal...However, if you insist you can try adding the oatmeal to a smoothie in the morning.

    Also, try oat groats they have a completely different texture. They have the texture of rice and taste like oatmeal.

    I will never eat this stuff! like you I cant handle the texture, plus isnt it mosly carbs? eat fruit!

    They are both mosly carbs as far as I can see. The carbs in oatmeal burn slow and don't spike your blood sugar.(asuming you're not putting too much sweet stuff in)
    Hate to burst your bubble but it doesn't matter if a carb is slow releasing it can still spike insulin if it has the capacity to do that and oatmeal can and does. The good news is if your not insulin resistant or have diabetes the release of insulin is there to stop the spike, because that's what insulin does. don't know if the <op is even concerned about this anyway.......the concern was slime and texture, not blood sugar spikes.

    I make overnight chocolate oatmeal - you can puree it (I add a little extra yogurt for more of a creamy texture) after it has chilled overnight and it is more like a chocolate pudding

    This thread was two years old. The OP is gone.
