Cereal

Healthy cereal can be good for you, but you really need to be getting foods from every food group in order to be lose weight. This includes lots of fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy, and healthy carbs. By eating only cereal, you are getting too many carbs. Not too mention you are not getting all of the nutrients you need. You should focus on your daily food intake to be about 60% carbs, 25% protein, and 15% good fats. Read some old posts on this forum to get ideas for healthy eating plans. I hope this helps! :)"

The cereal could be fine for breakfast or even a snack, but remember to look at serving sizes on the box. Cereal is one of those things most people eat way more than what a serving size is. If you love cereal just keep it in your diet and add the rest for other meals."

The cereal I have been eating consist of Special K, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Honey Combs etc. Should I change my diet or should I continue to eat the cereal? I have been using skim milk in all of my cereal. I have been exercising throughout the day. Is this diet healthy and will it help me to loose weight or is there a problem with this? my weight is about 165 and I want to drop to about 150."
