Even that... isn't great. Certainly step up from "just a bunch of carbohydrates" but not exactly super healthy either.

- Etheryte 3y agoThere is nothing wrong with carbohydrates, it's over consuming them that's the problem. Müsli without added sugar can easily be a part of a well balanced diet. It's basically just a different form of oatmeal.
- donatj 3y agoCarbohydrates are just sugar your body has to work a little bit to unlock first, but they’re just sugar. They’re really not much better for you than raw sugar, they’re just slow dose. They’ll spike your insulin a little less, but ask a diabetic, the overall difference isn’t a ton. Fiber is a carbohydrate the body can’t digest so you can generally subtract them when figuring, but beyond that carbohydrates alone are just sugar as far as your body is concerned.
- brianwawok 3y agoOk. You eat a sugar cereal every morning, and I’ll keep eating my old fashioned old meal with no sugar. Let’s compete weight and A1C in 10 years.
- infinite8s 3y agoAs is everything in biochemistry, the absorption rate sets the response. 5g of sugar that can only be digested over the course of hours is much different than 5g of sugar that can be digested in minutes.
- hashmal 3y agoSo basically you're advocating for a keto diet for everyone and every time? That's silly. Carbs are not intrinsically bad. Also, all sugars are carbs but all carbs aren't sugar. Don't take shortcuts.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Carbs are not intrinsically bad No, but most people shouldn’t be consuming it as a ritual.
- Loic 3y agoYou are definitely not French :-) Food preparation and lunch is a ritual for us. But, I will also add that in the primary school we had to learn how to balance a diet over a full week. Because you cannot balance on a single day...
- Scarblac 3y agoBut the fiber content makes you feel sated sooner, so you are likely to eat less of it than sugar. And musli isn't processed as much as other breakfast cereals. We don't know what causes it yet, but there's a clear correlation between eating highly processed foods and obesity.
- Almondsetat 3y agoWhere are you getting at? What is the point of your reply?
- postmodest 3y agoCarbohydrate intake has many factors including 'speed of processing' which is retarded by the presence of fiber and fat. So while a serving of muesli might 30g of carbohydrates it also will have 5g of fat and fiber and protein, which affects how fast your insulin levels rise and how high the spike.
- Aunche 3y agoIf muesli were simply a slightly better carb, that would make fruit the same. The fiber and more complex sugars are what make you feel fuller and glucose levels less volatile.
- boxed 3y agoYou might be confused about what musli is..
