Quick oats vs. Old Fashioned when dieting?

[sz]

Hi. I started dieting a few days ago. I always preferred the quick oats for convenience sake. This is not the Instant oats, but rather the Quick-1 minute oats. I find it important to know if it will make a difference because I use them as my carb staple every 2 hours. If it does make a difference on the Glycemic Index, I do not want to be spiking my insulin all day and therefore, I can sub for the Old fashioned without a problem. Thanks.

Won't make much of a difference at all especially if you're eating it with other foods (protein, fat, etc.).

I eat it with protein and fat in each meal and some meals have greens in them too. I didn't think it made much of a difference because I can already see a slight difference and my metabolism feels like it is on fire.
