Oats

Brad Barrett and Jonathan Mendosa discussed the impact of various foods, including oats, within the context of personal reactions to different dietary choices. Jonathan emphasized that foods like whole grains, often perceived as healthy, can still affect energy levels and cravings significantly. He noted that diets high in carbs tend to leave him lethargic and craving more food, whereas a diet with moderate protein and higher fat stabilizes his energy and reduces cravings.

Brad Barrett highlighted the individualized nature of food reactions, sharing examples where ostensibly healthy foods led to unexpected spikes in blood sugar for other people. The key takeaway emphasized by both is the importance of paying attention to how different foods affect your body personally, rather than strictly adhering to general health advice 1 .
