Go for the 'traditional' rather than the 'quick' oats as they give the stomach a better work-out, and definitely avoid any with stuff already added - maple syrup, brown sugar etc.

I buy Quaker in a bag or drum, but Winn-Dixie's own own almost as good (and on special right now)


Once you start getting off sugar, it's amazing how quickly you don't miss it.
Even porridge, oats or wheat, are carbohydrates that your body will convert in part to sucrose.

If you are trying to adjust your intake because of diabetes, cheese and raw vegetables are a good snack.
