what's your breakfast cereal of choice?

I like rice krispies. Lol.

But for healthy, nutritious cereal - I like oats topped with fruit!

I've not had cereal in a while but the last brand that I really enjoyed and kept me satisfied for the entire morning was Nature's Path Optimum Power Blueberry Cinnamon Flax.

The best part about Nature's Path is it's GMO-free.

Kashi cereals are excellent. Many (not all) have a good amount of fiber & protein. Kashi Golden Sunshine is like a low sugar Cap'n Crunch

Kashi Heart to Heart is my fave .... like cheerios (only ... with more fiber) .... also in a cinnamon variety

Special K (original flavor) has a good amount of protien .... I have a piece of fruit alongside (for fiber).

I'm a steel cut oatmeal fan too... I usually mix in powdered peanut butter (protien powder works too).

honey nut cheerios or honey bunches of oats. If the milk isn't sweet afterwards, I don't like it.

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.

I like pain ol' wheat bran flakes with a bit of sugar. I tend to stay away from the kid's cereals. I am capable of consuming an entire box of Lucky Charms in one sitting.

Lucky Charms... om nom nom

Honey Nut Cheerios. Been eating them everyday for breakfast since middle school!

I love my Wheatabix!!

These days, i only have muesli, Ancient Grains or Red River. There was a time when i swore up & down that i would not change my cereal selections and loved every kind possible. Then i realized i had to be more adult about my choices if i actually wanted to lose weight and get healthier.

Key factor: i used to have 2 huge unmeasured bowls of cereal for breakfast. Now i measure out my cereal to one bowl of the recommended serving size (or less) on the side of the box.

Cinnamon Chex . . . best cereal ever. Plus I don't have to listen to my daughter b!tch at me for eating her Cinnamon Toast Crunch :happy:

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 don't really eat cereal anymore sue to the poor macro ratios but I used to like Vector quite a bit. Unfortunately the protein in Vector was soy.

I like Grape Nuts, whole grain and no sugar , after that Shredded Wheat, one ingredient and whole grain.

oatmeal with fresh fruit
