is "Honey Bunches of Oats" Cereal a low glycemic index or High gi?? If it's high, what's a better alternative?

Question

Thanks!

Answer 1

me,

Have you checked the list of ingredients in Honey Bunches of Oats? It lists five different sugars: sugar (the third ingredient, by the way. Corn is the first. So why do they call it Bunches of Oats?), brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, and malted barley and corn syrup. It's definitely high GI.

Probably the best cereal? Plain old oatmeal with milk. I eat it now without any sweetener. Another one is plain Shredded Wheat, also without sweetener.

However, if you're looking for a really low-GI breakfast, why be limited to cereal? What would be wrong with split pea soup or a vegetable omelette? Those are definitely low-GI and high-protein, too.

Rick Mendoza has a wealth of information on the Glycemic Index at:

You'll find just about everything you can possibly want to know there about low-GI eating.

Good luck.

Glycemic Load Honey

Answer 3

If it starts with honey, it has a lot of sugar, Hi Glycemic index.
Have a whole grain cereal without all that sugar.
