The best type of cereal for weight loss

Kashi go lean - has fiber and a good bit of protein.

This one is good nutitionally but it tastes like poop.

Personally this is my favorite:



You couldn't pay me to eat Lucky Charms, Coco-Puffs, or any of that other sugary crap.

Oatmeal crisp is SO delicious, but I wouldn't consider it any healthier than kids sugary cereals, except for the fact that the grains are slightly less processed (but none the less, still processed). It has 14g of sugar per cup. Lucky charms has 13g per cup. The oatmeal crisp also contains corn syrup and canola oil.. so while it seems healthier and the grains a little less refined, it still isn't that great nutritionally speaking. I was so sad when I learned this early in my weight loss journey. The vanilla almond one is my favorite! I think I would personally still eat it once in a while, but wouldn't consider it a healthy meal.

I prefer to make my own granola - lots of oats, high fiber and I control the sweet and oil that goes in it. Recipes on the internet easy to find. Just remember servings are small, but they do stick with you especially when you mix it with yogurt. DH likes to mix shredded wheat (frosted) bites with wheat and oat check (to reduce to sugar and add oats which are so good for you.

Here's the secret....you ready?!!!.....................................Stay in a calorie deficit and it doesn't matter what you eat! Boom! You all are welcome!

I disagree. You put petro-chemicals in your body and your immune system will shut down and make your body susceptible to cancer & other auto-immune diseases. We all need CLEAN ORGANIC FOOD. Proper live enzymes consumed & absorbed will kick-start the body's natural healing mechanisms and begin arresting and sometimes reversing heart problems, cancers & diabetes. It is no joke. Gerson Therapy has proven it & watch the movie's Hungry for Change & Food Matters.

Organic food should be dirty by definition, not clean.

Bleh!!!
My responce was in reference to weight loss, not to the over-all quailty of the food! Thanks for your input, though!

Awkward....after seeing the direction this thread is going in, I'd like to stick with the flow and change my above answer to this..

Don't eat cereal EVER. If someone you know is eating cereal......punch them in the throat! A better breakfast alternative is to sit in the middle of your kitchen floor, sipping raw eggs out of the shells while reading Wheat Belly and quietly weeping. Enjoy!

Bwhahahah this is a gem of a post. I hope those eggs were organic covered in chicken poop too.

100% agree with you. Food DOES matter. Our bodies know what to do natural, whole foods and will use 1600 calories worth of fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, oats, brown rice, quinoa, and lean protein MUCH more efficiently than processed crap full of sugar, fat, chemicals, cholesterol, etc.. It's not just about calories, but about the nutritional quality of the food, micro nutrient density, and our satiation mechanism. Processed food is also addictive. It promotes disease and cancer cell growth. Micro nutrient dense foods have the opposite effect. It's all relevant to weight loss. Take care of the inside, and weight loss will happen. Besides, don't people want to feel as amazing as possible, decrease risk of disease, and lose weight all at the same time?

Very Well Put

I'd venture to say that cereal is not really a completely wise choice for regular consumption unless it's enriched with protein, in which case it will likely taste like poo. (all the ones I've tried have) As a breakfast food, you'd do yourself a favor to have a bowl of old fashioned oats or a couple eggs. Protein.

THIS!

If you are really serious about your nutrution, you should not eat cereal. If you read the labels, even the "healthy" cereal have too many sugars and carbs. You should eat oatmeal instead, unless you are on low carb diet
