Well folks I'm down to my last 3 boxes of the wonderful Atkins morning
start Blueberry. They are already 3 years out of date, but I've been
hoarding and doling them out as long as possible. I found a really good
one in Trader Joes high fiber bran, but they've been out of stock the last
month. I feel paranoid all over again!

Wow.....I bet it the new Atkins company knew how you hoarded this stuff
they'd reintroduce the product. I admit to also enjoying that stuff.

Make me #3. I also liked it and bought it. Sure miss it. Nothing
currently on the market matches up with it.

Me too. I still have a couple boxes left. It was very good for any
cereal. You'd never know it was LC. The funny thing with the ATkins
Co. is that they discontinued the unique products where there was no
competition. And they kept making the bars and shakes where there is
lots of competition.

I don't like their bars and don't bother with shakes. The bars just have
this "off" taste to me.

I agree. There's nothing like "artificial chocolate" made with "artificial
sugar". bleah!

I enjoy FlaxZSnax Wild Cherry Nut Granola. Great with milk or as a
topping for yogurt. It has some sugar alcohols, but loads of fiber,
and I find it very flavorful. You could once find it everywhere, but
now have to order it from netrition.com.

The best bars Atkins made were the wild berry granola ones. I still
have a bunch of them that I got for maybe 25C a piece on Ebay when
everything was crashing. I agree, the rest of them weren't that
good. And those I see selling for $2 a pop in stores. Amazing that
people would pay that much for them.

The shakes are OK. I have some sitting around, but rarely use them,
which is why they are still here. They are good if you don't have
time and just want something quick when headed out the door.

So, I agree with you. Except for the closeout stuff I got on Ebay, I
haven;t bought any Atkins bars or shakes in years.

Yes that stuff is great, but not LC at all..... especially if you eat 1/2
a bag at a time!

I rationalize it this way, compared to my favorite, Grapenuts, it's
low carb. But agreed, it is hard to stick to that 1/2 cup serving
size in the morning.

Hoping that your post would bring out some new cereal
recommendations. Guess not. Been burned so many times on very bad L/
C breakfast cereal that I won't try anything that doesn't come highly
recommended.

Last night I looked at the Special-K high protein cereal that is lower in
carbs...but saw high fructose corn syrup in the list of ingredients and
decided not to try it. I used to love cereal but don't miss it enough to
eat HFCS.

Maybe it's time to start an e-mail campaign to the Atkins Nutritionals
asking that they bring back the Morning Start Cereal. They still sell other
Morning Start products, many of which are made from soy and are high fiber.

My issue with cereal is that it takes a lot of control to eat a single
serve. Even with the Atkins product it was hard (IMO). I guess that's one
reason why cereal is not such a good idea when trying to lose weight, though
a LC cereal might work for many who are maintaining. Of course, IMO.

I look at cereal as a taste and texture break from eggs and morining meats.

So, it may only be every other week when I feel the need for a taste or
texture break from my usual breakfast.

It won't kill me, under those circumstances, to eat even more than the
wimpy 1/2 cup of the stuff.

I toss in some blueberry jam for extra taste, maybe 1 TB of that.

I'll look for the WW F&F with Oats. My wife loves the WW Honey Almond
Crisp, but it is way too carby. Can't understand why they put sugar
in a product for dieters.

It's definitely at times like this I count my blessings that I was
never a cereal girl.

Perhaps it is as simple as "repeat customers" - so long as you don't
lose too much weight, you'll always be a "weight watcher".

Kind of like "managing arthritis" rather than "curing arthritis" (which
evidently is still not possbile, generally).

Ditto. If I can only eat a half-cup of something, it's a snack, not a
meal. If eggs had 15g of carb each, I wouldn't have half an egg for
breakfast and save the rest for later; I'd say "screw eggs" and just
eat more bacon and sausage.

It might be different if you're someone who only wants a little bit of
food for breakfast, but mine always involves at least the 40g protein
recommended by PP for my size.
