HELP!!! I need advice on high fiber cereals, please.
Hey folks,
I recently started the North Beach diet and it seems OK for me. A high fiber cereal is recommended. I eat a combination of All Bran buds and North BEach cereal. Whereas the NBC describes itself as "lightly sweetened", the All Bran's second ingredient is sugar. I was told that the sugar content didn't matter as it just goes out while the stomach is digesting the fiber. Any thoughts on this? Is there another cereal (besides Uncle Sam) that you could recommend? Thanks so much. Eddie |

Of course it's digested, fiber or not. If you go to a health food store, there are a number of higher fiber, lower carb and sugar products on the cereal shelf. Or make your own with flax meal, ground or chopped nuts, a bit of oats, etc., some sweetener if you choose. Susan |

Is it a variant of the South Beach diet? Priscilla -- "Inside every older person is a younger person -- wondering what the hell happened." -- Cora Harvey Armstrong |

Using a little less of your favorite cereal, you can add 1/3 cup or so of oat bran to create an inexpensive high fiber cereal. Oat bran is a soluble fiber, and is recommended by the American Heart Association for its ability to lower blood cholesterol levels. FWIW, the American Heart Association also notes that "Many commercial oat bran and wheat bran products (muffins, chips, waffles) actually contain very little bran."

Oat bran doesn't make anything more tasteful :-). It's kind of like sawdust, actually. Fortunately, it's hardly noticeable when mixed with the rest of my breakfast (which includes about 4 oz of Cheerios, a big scoop of vanilla-flavored whey protein, a dozen or so raw almonds, about 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, topped off with nonfat milk).
