Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Looking for a suitable breakfast cereal
Hello: From what I've read on Atkins, MOST breakfast cereals should be avoided. But, there must be some that are low-carb, high fibre and without sugar. Does anyone here know if such a cereal exists? and if so what is it known as? 294/285/199 > From what I've read on Atkins, MOST breakfast cereals should be avoided. > But, there must be some that are low-carb, high fibre and without sugar. > > Does anyone here know if such a cereal exists? and if so what is it known > as? Try ground flaxseed. Mirek > Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > 294/285/199 South Beach calls it Whole Grain Oatmeal. I find that one serving fills me up until lunchtime....

You've got to get the high fiber type. Maybe once or twice a week served with half n half. Helps keep you regular, too. This is ok for OWL and Maintenance, not for induction, however. -- AmyB LC since 12/01/03 238/211/165 > Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > 294/285/199 >> From what I've read on Atkins, MOST breakfast cereals should be avoided. >> But, there must be some that are low-carb, high fibre and without sugar. I don't know about high fiber I buy keto cocoa brand and now atkins blueberry . I always have cereal on hand for the days I don't really feel like a big meal. c The Atkins cold cereals are awesome. Low carb and I think just as good as some of the regular cereals. Put some low carb milk on, and enjoy. 1. I believe the Name is "All Bran Extra Fiber." The "Nutrition Facts" label states it has 20 grams of carb/serving with 13 grams of dietary fiber and 0 grams sugars and 7 grams Other carb. 2. Other low carb cereals include Atkins Morning Start Cereals (3 to 5 grams carb/serving); Hi Lo Cereal (5 grams carb/serving), among others (Keto cereals, hot and cold; and flax seed based cereals, etc.) > I like Kellog's All-Bran, High fiber. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > > > 294/285/199 You definitely have to calculate cereal into the carbs for the day or week. The Kellog's mentioned here is a good choice for a relatively low-carb cereal with decent taste at a not super inflated price. Watch out with all the fiber. I don't exceed 3/4 cup per "dose." I have used whipping cream but now I see Hood low-carb milk may be a better Low-carb choice.

I make my own with ground flaxseed (2 tbl), hazelnut meal (2 tbl) and either oat flour or (this time around) protein powder (1 tbl). I may then add a 1/2 teaspoon of either a) cinnamon, b) maple flavoring (NOT extract, though, which tastes disgusting in it), or c) cocoa powder. Currently I really like the maple flavoring (I get it and coffee flavoring at Whole Foods).

I jumped into experiment mode this morning and ground 2T of flax and 1T of sunflower seeds, added sweetener, cinnamon, hot water, and a spash of cream. Slime city. I gagged. I don't gag often. It seems like any liquid does this to the flax. I've tried barely grinding, grinding to a pulp, pulverizing. It's all slime. I haven't tried eating the whole seeds, but then I wouldn't get much benefit from it.

If you eat it really fast you can get it down before it really slimes up, but who wants to make a race out of eating breakfast? You might try either Flax-O-Meal or Gram's Gourmet Cream of Flax (both available from Netrition, IIRC). I haven't tried the Flax-O-Meal yet, but the Gram's is pretty good. I also like the Nutlettes To Go (soy cereal with powdered soy milk included - just add water). 4g carb per serving, you can eat them hot or cold (I prefer cold), and no slime whatsoever, <g>. They're available from Atkins, though they aren't an Atkins product (I think they're made by Dixie Diner). They also make them in a regular version without the soy milk powder included. They're crunchy, in taste and texture are about like Grape-Nuts. Stargazer Atkins since Apr '03 192/148/140 Cereal is not low carb. SignatureMost of us probably aren't in danger of eating too little. :) Becky P. > Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > 294/285/199 We make cereal from a recipe we saw here. 3 tablespoons R&L Vanilla Whey powder from Costco (sweetened with sucralose) 2 tablespoons flax seed meal 1 tablespoon wheat bran. Add cinnamon to taste, mix, mix, mix. Add hot water until it's the consistency you like. You can either top it with a few strawberries or some other fruit if you like and your milk/cream of choice. Not bad. We make it up in a big batch and store it in an airtight container, so it becomes: 3 cups R&L Vanilla whey powder 2 cups flax seed meal 1 cup wheat bran 1 tablespoon cinnamon Robin I've been weighing out 1 oz of the Atkins cereal for 3-4 carbs depending on the variety. I hate the $3.50 price tag, but it is a balanced breakfast or dessert since its sweet. 1 tablespoon of cream to 1/3 cup of water adds only 1 more carb for the milk- I can't taste the difference between the watered down cream and whole milk.

I rank Walmart LC Granola and Trade Joes More&Less Apple/Cinnamon in the top tier of cold cereal. All the Atkins varieties are mid-range. At the bottom, Keto Cocoa Crisp I found rather bland and HiLo Strawberry had that well-rounded cardboard taste. I seldom return things, but HiLo was one of them. As posted previously, a few strawberries and walnuts will make almost any breakfast cereal tolerable. Larry If I was going just by taste, I wouldn't pick the Atkins cereal. One of the ways they reduce the carb count is by adding almond slices. which are lower carbs per ounce. I've thought of mixing all bran extra fiber (7 carbs 1 oz) with the almonds and atkins cereal. Too many nuts didn't improve the taste. A little flax seed meal added was ok. I'm being lazy at the moment to research- old fashioned oats might be less carbs than instant, and how about raw oats, like in the euro cereal mixes. Its nice to be able to try more foods in OWL, It gets better all the time.

I used to start every morning with a bowl of Raisin Nut Bran. I tried Atkins cereal (which tasted awful to me) before deciding that's just one of those things where I'm trying to force new food into old habits. Truth is, I don't need breakfast cereal, so I don't eat it anymore. Solved. If you have decent low-carb foods to eat for breakfast (eggs, meat, etc.), maybe you can change your behavior (programming) such that you eat them and get away from things that are inherently higher-carb. Just something to consider. YMMV. |
