Welcome and good luck- it's a great program if you work it and it's a way you can eat for the rest of your life. Yes, 1/2 c. cooked oatmeal is a starch, but the serving is so small, I hate to waste a starch on it. The salt restrictions are all about retaining water. Some people are more sensitive than others. Your taste buds adapt and soon you won't even miss the salt and when you have something really salty, it won't taste as good.
