Today I want you to take a close look at the ingredient list of your cereal box.

I’m looking at an old box of Kellogg’s Smart Start Healthy Heart Cinnamon Raisin cereal.

On the front it says contains ingredients that may help lower BOTH blood pressure and cholesterol.

A tempting reason to want to buy the cereal to say the least.

But upon further examination of the ingredients, here is what it contains…

Oat Bran, Sugar, Rice, Raisins, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Glycerin, Dextrose, Malt Flavor, Potassium Chloride, Salt, Cinnamon, Coconut and Palm Kernel Oil, Baking Soda, Ascorbic Acid, Niacinamide, Zinc Oxide, Wheat Starch, Calcium Pantothenate, Reduced Iron, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Thiamin Hydrochloride.

The last few ingredients are the vitamins and minerals.

But the point is that ingredient number 2 is sugar.

Ingredient number 5 is high fructose corn syrup.

And a few other ingredients I don’t know what they are, but they don’t sound good.

Sugar and high fructose corn syrup are exactly the type of ingredients you should be avoiding.

Meanwhile take a container of oats.

You know what the ingredients are?

Well actually there is only one – 100% natural whole grain rolled oats.

My point is you really need to watch what your eating – especially foods like cereals that make claims to be healthy but actually are probably ruining your efforts at getting a flat stomach and six-pack abs.

You want to eat as many single ingredient foods, like oatmeal and eggs, and less of these foods like cereal.

I know people that eat cereal for breakfast in the morning and for dinner at night.

If you’re doing that, you’re setting yourself way back.

I’ve only had cereal once since last August and that was when I was home at my parents house for Christmas.

Other than that, I don’t eat it anymore and I’ve gotten by stomach flatter and leaner than it’s ever been.

And get yourself on a good nutrition program like The Carb Rotation Diet.

I would love to get your feedback and your opinions on cereal.

Just leave a comment here.

Have an amazing day.
