Eh? All porridge oats are virtually instant, the only difference in the finished product is how chunky you like/want it, and none of them (none of the natural non-flavoured ones, anyway) have sugar. Just check the back for the ingredients, or only buy oats and not the flavoured stuff. They are not low carb though, only non-simple-carb.Originally posted by SlipTheJab View PostSo I am look for the instant one pot just add water variety but not full on simple carbs (evil sugar) to support my low carb pre cams binge, any recommendations.
Any rolled oats, add some water / milk, microwave for a minute and a half, stir, microwave for another minute. It takes a bit of practice to get the proportion of oats to water / milk right.
The difference is in the size of the oats. The cut ones make a smoother porridge but leave you feeling fuller for less time, the whole rolled ones make a chunkier porridge and you feel fuller for longer.
Milk is nicer to mix with imo, but contains lactose so is a sugar.Comment

I think he's looking for "add boiling water" type porridge. Presumably his B&B/hotel room doesn't have a microwave. He wants to avoid simple sugars. Lactose isn't a simple sugar - it's lactase that breaks it down into simple sugar. If you lack lactase you're lactose intolerant and the lefties hate you.Originally posted by meridian View PostEh?

I have mine with Maple Syrup (the proper stuff, not the sugar laden carob tulip) and blueberries. Some decent stuff in that lot.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
