The Breakfast Cereal Aisle
The Hormone Revolution Grocery Cart, The breakfast cereal section is a dangerous part of the grocery store. Almost all breakfast cereal are extremely high in carbohydrates which little or no protein or fiber. This holds true even for cereal widely touted in natural food circles as being healthy, such as granola and muesli, both of which are very high in calories and carbohydrates. Unless you plan on using breakfast as your magic Window Meal after exercising, most breakfast cereals should be avoided.
The exception are the few cereals that are actually quite high in fiber-those that have a minimum of 5 grams of fiber and less than 100 calories per serving. One brand of cereal, fiber One, even has 13 grams of fiber per serving. Steel-cuts oats, such as McCann’s Irish Oatmeal, are another option a high-fiber cereal, but make sure you avoid processed, quick-cooking oat mill, such as quaker or McCann’s instant oatmeal, which has had most of the fiber removed or broken down.
These high-fiber cereals can be very filling and will not produce a strong insulin response in your body, thus allowing your hormones to stay in a fat burning mode. Most other low-fiber cereals are loaded with so much starch or sugar that they will push your insulin levels through the roof, making fat burning almost impossible.
