Finding it hard to eat loads of Fiber?

It has a very high fiber content(13 grams per serving) and it's low in impact carbohydrates. Fiber one is also a good idea to get, but I think that this cereal is even better. Nutrition Facts Calories 50 Calories from fat 10 Total Fat 1g Saturated Fat 0g Trans Fat 0g Cholesterol 0mg Sodium 120 mg Potassium 270 mg Total Carbohydrate 20g Dietary Fiber 13g Sugars 0g Other Carbohydrate 7g Protein 3g Vitamin A 10% Vitamin C 10% Calcium 10% Iron 25% Vitamin D 10% Thiamin 25% Riboflavin 25% Niacin 25% Vitamin B6 100% Folic Acid 100% Vitamin B12 100% Phosphorus 20% Magnesium 20% Zinc 10% Copper 8% Ingredients: Wheat Bran, oat fiber, wheat flour, calium phosphate, salt, baking soda, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, calium carbonate, aspartame, sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), niacinamide (Vitamin D), riboflavin (vitamin b12), folic acid, zinc oxide, Vitamin A palmitate, thiamin hydrochloride (vitamin B1), BHT (preservative), Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D Comments?

Oatmeal tastes much better to me as well though. I don't know what it is about eating foods that taste bland and dull but crunchy and filling. It makes me feel like I'm doing so good to my body as opposed to the foods that have lots of taste to them. DX
