    My favorite cereal is bacon and eggs with plenty of yummy pastured butter.

    You might as well enjoy the kids cereal. They are no healthier than the grape nuts or Fiber one.

    "...Eating Like Cattle, Getting Fat Like Cattle
    We are told to eat lots of ‘carbohydrates’ (sugars) in small meals throughout the day, as recommended by the nutrition industry (the ADA, most Western governments, and other wholly-owned subsidiaries of multinational agribusinesses and drug companies). In other words, we are told to graze—like cattle.

    Grazing like a cow means that your bloodstream is always full of sugar. Glucose (a simple sugar) is our body’s primary energy source, and our bodies will always use it first if there is any available. We only start metabolizing fat for energy when there is no sugar left.

    Unfortunately, by maintaining such a diet, our ability to metabolize body fat simply atrophies—because it’s never used! This is why dieters feel so desperately hungry, and why it’s hard to reduce ‘carbohydrate’ (= sugar) intake: we’ve got plenty of energy available in the form of body fat, but our body’s ability to metabolize it has atrophied—so we are metabolically starving in the midst of plenty. It’s like having a pantry full of canned tuna and discovering you’ve lost the can opener.

    In the scientific literature, the ability to switch back and forth between glycolysis (burning sugar) and beta-oxidation (burning fat) is called “metabolic flexibility“. And while the above paragraph is simplified to avoid dragging my readers into biochemistry, the adventurous can venture here:

    Biol Res Nurs April 2009 vol. 10 no. 4 356-373
    The Role of Impaired Mitochondrial Lipid Oxidation in Obesity
    Mary Madeline Rogge
    This is the metabolic component of sugar (‘carbohydrate’) addiction. ""

    i'm always so interested to know what "research" and blogs/online articles say this week. next week it will be something else demonized. i'm not perfect nor do i pretend to be, but no i will not stop eating carbohydrates/breakfast/cereal because someone tells me to. now i'm off to go buy a box of Satan-Os.

    I have 1 cup of Fiber One Original combined with 1.5 cups of Kellogg's Raisin Bran. I realize that not many people would enjoy this but I think it's delicious, filling, and I'm excited to get out of bed every morning to have a bowl.

    All time favortie is Post's Cranberry Almond Crunch, I also like raisin bran, grape nuts with a 1/2 tsp of sugar, whole grain cheerios, any chex variety. I love cereal and as long as you stick to the serving size and maybe add some fruit to it I think it is a delicious part to a healthy lifestyle. (I don't religiously follow macros so if mine are off but I am within my calorie goal it doesn't make a huge difference to me)

    Nature's path organics oatbran/ flax plus multigrain flakes. Only 4g of sugar and 5g of fiber. And they taste good too. I only have them once in a blue moon though.

    These!! Yum. I put a shake of cinnamon on top, too.

    Cheerios, or Cinnamon Life are my staples. But I do like the new Cinnamon Chex. And I treat myself to Capn Crunch once in awhile!

    For me, breakfast cereals are nibble food. So I am careful. My faves are:
    Great Grains Cranberry Almond Crunch
    Kashi Cinnamon Harvest
    something that's kinda like frosted shredded wheat in a blue box - forgetting the name (no HFCS).

    If I'm feeling silly, I'll mix Cinnamon Life with cheerios, drown them in milk, and snuffle them down. Oink!

    I'm all about Raisin Bran. But recentally I discovered Raisin Bran Almond Crunch. It's cinnamon flakes with raisins and almonds. It's pretty good for your heart and it's not too high in calories! It's the perfect winding down snack for me as odd as that sounds. I usually eat fruit for breakfast but I like a bowl of RB Almond Crunch at night to satisfy my sweet tooth without eating ice cream or cake.

    Seriously, I'm just trying to be healthier, I'm not running for Jesus or anything.

    Mmmmmm cereal.....

    Apple Jacks
    Frosted Mini Wheats
    Fruit Loops
    Coco Pebbles
    Count Chocula
    FranknBerry
    BooBerry

    lol...I could go on for a LONG TIME!! I love cereal. But recently (Jan '13) it's plain Essential Everyday Puffed Rice or Puffed Wheat. At 60/70 cals per cup I can eat 2 cups for breakfast with a cup of unsweetened almond mile for about 200 cals. I do add 2 packets of Splenda.

    I don't normally like healthier cereals. But, I just recently bought and tried Honey Nut & Oats Greek cereal. And I love it! yay. Still a lot of calories but they are healthier.

    I like to snack on dry Multigrain Cheerios at night while watching tv, or Kashi Go Lean Crunch with fruit and vanilla greek yogurt. I prefer oatmeal for breakfast.

    I rarely eat it.. but occasionally i'll go in for the organic granola cereals, usually get the ones with cranberries in it... or plain and I add my own cranberries. I like Special K berries too.. but would pick the granola over it. becuase it tastes better.

    I used to eat frosted mini wheats.. but the sugar overwhelms me now. I cant' do it.

    Great Grains Cranberry Almond Crunch - this used to be a staple cereal of mine too.. I wonder if I stll like it? Might have to try a box soon..

    Anyway.. whenever I buy cereal my son eats it before I get any.. says he doens't like my healthy cereals though.. so I guess nobody visits and eats it all.. LOL So really it's pointless unless I want cornflakes.. which I don't.. they just sit there. lol
