The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

My mom's dietitian said if my mom wants to eat simple carbs, she needs to cook them with fat and protein like instant oats with peanut butter or white rice with beans because it lowers the GI and spikes insulin less. So I was wondering if having oil as if it were an aperitif would function the same
You are mixing up two ideas here. Carbs and protein are an established part of a complete meal. Like rice and beans both have proteins, but only together do they form a complete protein ad can serve as a cheap meat substitute without any long term nutritional deficiencies. Beans also have a low glycemic index which is helpful for a number of conditions. Rice is high as it is almost pure carbs. It depends a bit on the type of rice, but safe to say generally high. So white rice and beans, if the goal is a complete protein, is fine. If the goal is low GI, (like for managing diabetes), then white rice is not terrible, but not great either. Stick to brown basmati varieties to help lower the GI.
Oil is fat, not protein. It doesn't have a glycemic index because there is no carbohydrates (simple or complex sugars) in it. It will not change the GI of any foods eaten with it and will not make a complete protein out of anything. Fats are a part of a healthy diet, and olive oil is a generally healthy choice, if used in moderation.
A tablespoon of oil with each meal won't help the GI or protein profile and is really just adding excess calories. If the meal is small enough, the calories won't really hurt.
So to better answer your question, what is the primary concern for the diet in question? Is it GI? Are there any restrictions like veganisn involved?
Oh.
No. At least, not like that.
Fat and protein, combined with fullness, signal to our body that we are satiated.
A table spoon of olive oil is neither nutritionally significant nor filling enough to impact your body the way you describe.
Now, if you were to eat a normal meal and precede it with a little bit of oil, your body may absorb slightly fewer carbohydrates - you can only absorb so much of what you eat. That small amount of carbohydrates would be passed into stool.
But it would only be marginally different. It's more useful as a reminder to pay attention to your food than it is as a chemical nutrition tool.
