can anyone recommend a high fiber cereal that tastes good?

[oberliner]

i can't seem to find one i can stand

[everythingsxen]

1. Frosted Shredded Mini-Wheat?

[Guy Fawkes]

43. Those are the shit!

Yum!
:silly:

[pitohui]

2. you know that study that supposedly proved fiber is good?

it was disproved some time ago

the tribe in africa that didn't have cancer "because of a high fiber diet" has now been urbanized and still don't have cancer

they were protected from cancer by their genetics

eating sawdust doesn't do anything for people altho it might fatten up a cow OK

we don't have to worry about fiber anymore!

[_testify_]

3. It makes for a better BM

if you have that sort of issue.

5. Mayo clinic says different

Dietary fiber — found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes — is probably best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But fiber can provide other health benefits as well, such as lowering your risk of diabetes and heart disease.

A high-fiber diet may lower your risk of specific disorders, such as hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome and the development of small pouches in your colon (diverticular disease). Fiber — particularly soluble fiber — can also lower blood cholesterol levels and slow the absorption of sugar, which for people with diabetes, can help improve blood sugar levels. A high-fiber diet may also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Eating a high-fiber diet may also help with weight loss. High-fiber foods generally require more chewing time, which gives your body time to register when you're no longer hungry, so you're less likely to overeat. Also, a high-fiber diet tends to make a meal feel larger and linger longer, so you stay full for a greater amount of time. And high-fiber diets tend to be less "energy dense," which means they have fewer calories for the same volume of food.

As for cereal, I like Optimum Zen:

[Blue-Jay]

12. Meh. What do they know? they're only doctors.

[u4ic]

4. Puffins

You can get it at the health food store.

[CanuckAmok]

11. Ugh, I hate eating puffins... the beaks get caught in my throat.

[u4ic]

15. But the feathers do add an interesting crunch n/t

[auntAgonist]

21. that's bird poop! nt

[u4ic]

26. auntie!

:spank:

(I'm doling out a lot of spankings tonight :bounce: )

[auntAgonist]

27. heh...

my kinda gal :) :evilgrin:


:hug:

[NMMNG]

6. All Bran Bran Buds

The texture is crunchier than the other bran cereals and with some sugar or other sweetner it's quite good. It's also one of the highest fiber cereals on the market.

[Lautremont]

9. I used to call those "Brown Bugs."

But that was a long time ago.

[NMMNG]

18. They're really good mixed in yogurt

If you like yogurt, that is.

[Floogeldy]

7. Grape-Nuts.

I like 'em! :)

[RebelOne]

33. My favorite also.

[Blue-Jay]

8. Colon Blow

[tuvor]

20. www.colonblow.com

www.colonblow.com

It's for real.

[LeftCoast]

23. "How many bowls of your cereal would you have to eat to equal one bowl

of Colon Blow?"

I LOVE that SNL skit! :rofl:

[Lex]

10. I like Fiber One cereal.

It doesn't have any sugar and it's 60 calories per serving I think it's pretty good.

http://www.fiberseekers.com/ten_tips.html

:hi:

[Digit]

25. Second vote for Fiber One...plus there is no high fructose corn syrup

It is great with plain soy milk.
Caution...it does get soggy, but I like soggy.

[MikeH]

28. Another vote for Fiber One

I like to have it with Quaker Oats (uncooked) and milk.

[InaneAnanity]

13. good choices

Frosted mini wheats or raisin bran (normal or crunchy)

[oberliner]

14. Thanks for all the suggestions! nt

[FuzzySlippers]

16. Kashi Go Lean Crunch.

It's yummy and has 8g. of fiber per serving, although it's a little on the hi-cal side at 190 calories.

[auntAgonist]

22. it sure does taste good. high protein too.

it's what I have for breakfast most morning.

:hi:
aA

[Whoa_Nelly]

24. Great choice, Fuzzy baby!

It's one of my favorites!

[nosillies]

40. All Kashi products are delish!

High in fiber and protein. Try the granola bars!

[jobycom]

17. Nature's Path makes Optimum, and Optimum Zen. Great flavor

very high fiber, no refined sugars. Whole Foods and Costco carry it, no idea who else.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

36. The regular supermarkets by me have it and any indy health food store.

But yeah, its really good.

[begin_within]

19. Wheatena (like Cream of Wheat, but toasted flavor). Hard to find though!

[njdemocrat106]

29. I like Frosted Mini-Wheats and Cracklin' Oat Bran

The Cracklin' Oat Bran has a surprisingly sweet flavor to it, considering it sort of looks like rabbit food.

[Hissyspit]

30. Quaker Oat Squares and Quaker Oat Bran Squares

Only processed cereal I actually look forward to eating. Not too sweet, either.

[JackDragna]

31. A bowl of twigs covered in Bailey's.

Mmm. That's good roughage.

[NewWaveChick1981]

32. Back to Nature Banana Nut Cereal.

13g of fiber and it tastes pretty good. You can add fruit to it if you like. :hi:

[Deep13]

34. Wheaties

[myrna minx]

35. I enjoy Cracklin' Oat Bran. n/t

[Hell Hath No Fury]

37. Autumn Wheat...

from Trader Joe's.

It is very lightly sweetened mini-shredded wheats with a tiny touch of cinnamon. They are tasty enough that I eat them as a snack with no milk.

And they are VERY good for the poopage.

In fact, so good you have to go a little easy on them -- too much and it can get unattractive.

[sarge43]

38. Slow cooked oatmeal n/t

[lakemonster11]

39. I eat Shredded Wheat pretty much every day.

It doesn't have any added ingredients, just whole wheat. If you add milk and fruit (which adds even more fiber), it has a wonderful natural sweetness. I prefer the Original to the Bite Size---I think the texture is better.

[Momgonepostal]

41. If you will do hot cereal, 7 or 10 grain is good

They have a lot of fiber and you can perk them up with salt, honey, sugar or whatever makes the taste more to your liking.

I also agree with the frosted mini wheats recommendation.

If you find you just hate higher fiber cereals, can you add fiber in another way, but eating your cereal with fruit or having whole grain toast with it?

[Taverner]

42. Barbara's Shredded Oat Squares

Ezekiel Cereal








Nature's Path Optimum Cereal



Those are all good, but found in the health food section.

[Dervill Crow]

44. I like Kashi Good Friends

Crunchy stuff and raisins. I sometimes mix it in with nonfat yogurt.

[yellowdogintexas]

45. Silver Palate Thick and Rough Oatmeal rocks!

it is just yummy, very high fiber and quite filling
