Don’t like oatmeal, don’t need tolose weight, LDL is under control but I have to take a pill for that.. So maybe I’ll try to like oatmeal.
A little brown sugar? A few blueberries? A sot of vodka?
Whatever makesit taste good.
I eat oatmeal regularly; you don’t need sugar to make it taste good, blueberries are good way to enhance the flavor, I prefer bananas, but other fruits would work as well.
Instead of boiling the oatmeal in water, use milk, 2% or low-fat milk are options, so is Almond milk if you prefer.
The other things I’ve used to enhance the taste of oatmeal while also being healthy options are using cinnamon and vanilla flavoring...
I’ve also used various types of nuts, pecans, almonds, etc.
I’ve also used oatmeal to make my own granola using healthy choices...
I’ve also made pancakes out of oatmeal, 3 ingredients, two overripe bananas mashed up, 2 eggs, 1.5 cups of oatmeal blended into a type of oatmeal flour, add in cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavoring, makes 4-5 pancakes which are very tasty and healthy.
Butter! I’m think that was probably Verboten.
Hope you’re not taking statins - my cholesterol has always been “good”, but after I turned 50, a doctor told me I needed to start statins because the “Heart Association” recommended it for ALL men over 50. I told him I needed a ore compelling reason to put that poison in my body. And also mentioned they had no proof that using statins to lower cholesterol improved/extended lives. That was over 20 years ago - and another doctor recently told me that they stopped that BS recommendation because, in most cases, the statins were doing more harm than good.
I make overnight steel-cut oats; that way it’s ready in the morning and you don’t have to stand there and tend it while it cooks. You can put lots of different things in it, but I like it plain with butter:

Try cinnamon, apple pieces, and brown sugar. Very filling! Also strawberries with some preserves to sweeten. I have to be in the mood but it’s a nice, warm breakfast.
