breakfast cereals

abayaa Posts: 54 Joined: 2002/11/09	2003/01/22, 05:15 PM what are some good breakfast cereals that are low on the GI scale. I've been eating oatmeal and all bran for the last while and i'm getting bored of them. I was thinking of 100% shredded wheat, is that any good? any comments are appreciated.

Sometimes I put some fruit in, some cinnamon, soy milk, nuts, sunflower seeds, protein powder, some other cereals etc It's never the same......... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Just this morning, in addition to my protein sources, I had 2 servings of oatmeal, mixed in 6 hard boiled egg whites, 1 tbs of peanut butter, cinnamon, raisens, honey, 1 cup of milk, and topped it all off with some whipped cream.......YUMMY! -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

I can't think of any decent ones off the top of my head, but I'll look into it. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2003/01/24, 01:58 AM But the weird thing is that I get sooooo hungry after eating those other typical breakfast cereals. I can eat three bowls and still feel hungry but eating some good old fashion oats cut my appetite and makes me feel full after two spoons...... By the way check out the glycemix index: http://www.bodyforlife2.com/tools/glycemic1.htm#breakfast%20cereals -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

In theory this also indicates the insulin response, but unfortunately that's not always the case.

Tast good too, no joke, it truly does. worth a try. About 200cal per serving. You can chk out all the details on the box next time your looking. :)
