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

My thought is "nonsense".

Try FiberOne.

BTW, what is the North Beach Diet? I've heard of the South Beach Diet.
Perhaps you need a new prescription?

I think you must mean the South Beach Diet?

My preference would be cereal with no added sugar. 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.

I just bought a box of Fiber One, but I haven't tried it yet.

BTW, what the heck's the North Beach diet? Is it a variant of the South
Beach diet?

You can purchase oat bran, in bulk, for around 65 cents per pound. 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."

Does oat bran help make the Atkins breakfast cereals (with a soy taste)
more or less tasteful?

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).
