Cereals That Slim You Down

bran flakes cereal

For many of us, cereal is synonymous with breakfast. I mean, it’s easy and quick. Many of us don’t wake up early enough to waste time cooking. Just pour your cereal in a bowl, add milk (soy milk for people who are lactose intolerant) and run off to work. You’re late!

But besides the convenience that cereal provides, eating the right cereals can help you slim down. “One of the main things that I look at is the fiber content,” says dietitian Gretchen Kauth, MEd, RD of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.

Here are some of those cereals:

Cheerios

It’s only right that we start with the cereal with a big heart on the front of the box . Of course there are all different types of Cherrios, from Honey Nut to Frosted. If you want to lose weight, stick with the regular ones, low in sugar and high in fiber.
