The thing that I find incredible, not just with cereals, is the 'Low Fat' badge which usually adornes the packaging of foods and which indicate them as being healthier and good for weight loss etc..
At this stage of the game with the info' that's available anyone who doesn't understand that to be a load of tosh, and where the real problem lies, is baffling.

Ignorance is indeed bliss, it seems. Low fat usually translates into high sugar. A terrible trade off, should be the other way around.

But also, the nhs is still telling people that low fat is the healthiest way to live, and advocate far, far to many carbs at each meal.
The overall equation isn't too difficult to work out though:
Eat less and exercise more if one is unhappy with one's weight.
Sure, certain foods are a bit dodgier than others but your body is a calorie burning machine and pretty much any fuel will be satisfactorily disposed of if you burn it off.

Sure, if you're taking the long view but the impression I get with all this calorie counting stuff is that it's principally focused on short-term weight loss / gain. Could be wrong though.

Fair enough and you're right.
My thinking and focus these days is strictly long term health - I had a 360 health check in March and got a massive thumbs up which has focused me even more - but the short term results from this long term thinking have been immense.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind getting one of those. I turned 30 recently and though I reckon that's still pretty young and I'm reasonably fit, it'd be good to see if there's anything lurking in the background that should be addressed (putting the smoking to one side of course
).How much did your check-up cost?

Some great ideas on this thread.
Breakfast cereal isn't really a popular thing in Turkey but I do miss it.
I had a go at making baked oatmeal last year, liked it a LOT, it was good for breakfast on the go.
I made it with bananas, walnuts and cinnamon.

I had it on my 43rd birthday and after years of drug abuse, smoking, drinking, you name it - general messiness for years and years I was surprised and very pleased with the results and it made me think I've been lucky so don't tempt things, sort it out.
Since then I have done so much research into things it's plain scary what the powers that be are feeding to the masses, and as spanglechick has said, even the NHS

Tailoring your diet to your own, personal specific needs is the key. Calorie counting is for weight management, knowing how much protein/fibre/calcium/iron etc that you need in a day is the more general health aspect. Doing both those things in conjunction constitutes a ''healthy'' diet in my eyes. I'm only 7 stone but fighting fit, thanks to my understanding of nutrition. My doc is always surprised I'm never sick.

Soak the oats overnight and they cook in half the time.

Great thing is there's so much beautiful healthy food it's truly delightful, I eat like a friggin horse but I believe (know) I have the balance for me right. I'm twice your weight and fighting fit also.

Yup, always amuses me when people call healthy food ''rabbit'' food or diet food. Negativity from the get go isn't the way to a nutritional diet. Wholegrain bread is beautiful. Fruit makes confectionery redundant. Vegetables are versatility given physical form. Wheat isn't the only grain on the planet. Soy isn't the devil. Moderation isn't food slavery. Meat needn't be eaten at every meal to make it feel complete. A few minor changes to the average diet could yield such potential health benefits for the masses it beggars belief that people still make such poor, uninformed choices based solely on advertising and packaging. It's playing into the hands of the industrial food complex, trading our health for profits. Sickening.

I never used to but I can't get enough of them now, we have them, loads of them, at least 5 days out of the 7.
I still have issues with cauliflower but I can live with that.

I agree with all of this bar "fruit makes confectionary redundant".

I love fruit but I also love Haribo Sour Mix

I've just been (briefly) reading about soaking muesli/oats/grains overnight in milk/yoghurt to increase the nutritional benefit from said mix, something with it being easier for the body to absorb the nutrients from the food. Anyone else more clued up on this than me? I don't want to be eating soggy muesli for nothing...

I'd choose a ripe banana over pretty much anything. Or candy floss grapes, tried those fuckers? Mother nature knows best.I adore fruit but they really do not make confectionary redundant, sorry.
