Where does it say porridge has to be made with milk? Ive often made porridge with water and salt not sugar. Along the same theme I got bored with porridge tasting the same day in day out so I started experimenting with other liquids. Flavoured teas are one of my best so far. Make the tea up leave it to go cold and cook the porridge with it the next day. There are tons of different flavours you can add to porridge without adding the sugar and milk.
I can eat porridge and still be under 20grams of carbs for the dayThat won't change the fact that porridge is oats and oats are cereals which are Carbohydrate and top the must avoid list.
Not everyone has to avoid porridge and/or cereal - I have hot oat cereal and oatmeal with whole milk and flaxseed for breakfast during the week and it does not spike my BS. I can also eat branflakes with almonds, hazelnuts and, if available, blueberries with either whole milk or cream. We all react differently so the only sure way to be certain is to test.That won't change the fact that porridge is oats and oats are cereals which are Carbohydrate and top the must avoid list for some .
I should be so lucky hahaNot everyone has to avoid porridge and/or cereal - I have hot oat cereal and oatmeal with whole milk and flaxseed for breakfast during the week and it does not spike my BS.

I know i guess we're all different as to what we can/cannot eat. I haven't been brave enough to have some pizza yet and a wrap still increases my BS to anything between 9 and 12 so they're still off the menu!I should be so lucky haha
Sadly, skimmed or semi skimmed milk have more sugars than full fat milk. Sugar is added to it to replace the fat content. Full fat milk is the best choice unless you convert to cream.
