LC Cereal

I rationalize it this way, compared to my favorite, Grapenuts, it's
low carb. But agreed, it is hard to stick to that 1/2 cup serving
size in the morning.

Hoping that your post would bring out some new cereal
recommendations. Guess not. Been burned so many times on very bad L/
C breakfast cereal that I won't try anything that doesn't come highly
recommended.

Last night I looked at the Special-K high protein cereal that is lower in
carbs...but saw high fructose corn syrup in the list of ingredients and
decided not to try it. I used to love cereal but don't miss it enough to
eat HFCS.

Maybe it's time to start an e-mail campaign to the Atkins Nutritionals
asking that they bring back the Morning Start Cereal. They still sell other
Morning Start products, many of which are made from soy and are high fiber.

My issue with cereal is that it takes a lot of control to eat a single
serve. Even with the Atkins product it was hard (IMO). I guess that's one
reason why cereal is not such a good idea when trying to lose weight, though
a LC cereal might work for many who are maintaining. Of course, IMO.

I look at cereal as a taste and texture break from eggs and morining meats.

So, it may only be every other week when I feel the need for a taste or
texture break from my usual breakfast.

It won't kill me, under those circumstances, to eat even more than the
wimpy 1/2 cup of the stuff.

I toss in some blueberry jam for extra taste, maybe 1 TB of that.

I'll look for the WW F&F with Oats. My wife loves the WW Honey Almond
Crisp, but it is way too carby. Can't understand why they put sugar
in a product for dieters.

Perhaps it is as simple as "repeat customers" - so long as you don't
lose too much weight, you'll always be a "weight watcher".

Kind of like "managing arthritis" rather than "curing arthritis" (which
evidently is still not possbile, generally).

Ditto. If I can only eat a half-cup of something, it's a snack, not a
meal. If eggs had 15g of carb each, I wouldn't have half an egg for
breakfast and save the rest for later; I'd say "screw eggs" and just
eat more bacon and sausage.

It might be different if you're someone who only wants a little bit of
food for breakfast, but mine always involves at least the 40g protein
recommended by PP for my size.

"If you hear hoofbeats, you just go ahead and think horsies, not
zebras."

No matter how "low carb" or "high fiber" a cereal or grain product is, they
all trigger carbohydrate cravings in me...the exception being some low-carb
tortillas, and I tend to not buy them anyways. I have learned I need to stay
AWAY from grains and cereal!!! I treat everything as a salad, or wrap it in
meat, or scoop it up with a pork rind.

So, wow, I agree with JC today.

Well folks I'm down to my last 3 boxes of the wonderful Atkins morning
start Blueberry. They are already 3 years out of date, but I've been
hoarding and doling them out as long as possible. I found a really good
one in Trader Joes high fiber bran, but they've been out of stock the
last month. I feel paranoid all over again!
