I’m a hugggge fan of cereal. It’s quick, effortless, & super filling.
However cereals like Lucky Charms & Fruity Pebbles do absolutely nothing for you besides adding blubber to your ass.
There are some brands that are packed with fiber ( examples: Ezekiel’s cereal, Fiber One, & original Shredded Wheat ) but I prefer to DIM ( do it myself ).
Why wouldn’t I? This mixture takes a total of two minutes & I love knowing exactly what I’m putting in my body. Chemical-filled, sickie cereals just don’t do it for me.
Extra additions: almond milk, rice milk, or Greek yogurt. And a sprinkle of cinnamon/nutmeg/pumpkin pie spice is real mouth party too.
Quick skinny tip: use bowls that are this size when you’re wolfing down any kind of cereal. Think: portion control, portion control, portion control!

Lauren,
Do you have a favorite brand of muesli? Also, do you add extra sunflower seeds? The brand I found already had the sunflower seeds in it. I’m starting a new Lifestyle change as they say. I just had my 3rd baby and can’t seem to get rid of the extra weight. I hope that changing how I eat and adding more exercise will help me get into shape and feel better. I am on day 3 of your 3 day cleanse and I FEEL GREAT!!!! So thank you very much for this blog… it helps in more ways than you know.
