    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. ""

    Special K protein Plus is yummy and keeps me full all morning! When I have this for breakfast I notice I eat less overall for the whole day! Now if I want to cheat I LOVE Captain Crunch but I can't limit myself to the recommended serving size so I don't buy it.

    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.
