Do you recommend Frosted Mini Wheats cereal (w/ skim milk) for a healthy diet breakfast?

Answer 1

OK, to one answerer, we all know the UNfrosted is better, but I like the frosted, myself. And, like another answerer, adding some fruit, and some fruit juice, you're getting in a few more of the recommended servings for a healthy diet.

To keep from getting blase, I also change up with oatmeal from time to time, or an English muffin with Canadian bacon, egg and cheese (make it Swiss, and have an international breakfast), and again with fruit and juice for each.

Answer 2

It's not only what you eat it how many calories a day as opposed to how many you burn up. But things like proteins, Carbs and fat play an important role. If you eat OK the rest of the day there's no reason mini-wheats would be a bad breakfast for a diet. As long as you don't eat a whole box. Measure a specific amount so that your daily calories don't exceed what your target is.

Answer 3

NO. There is nothing healthy about it.

This cereal is junk, like most of the cereals put on the market and sold as good food. First, the wheat is most likely heavily sprayed with insecticides, genetically modified, and processed to a point where the wheat germ has been removed to keep it from spoiling while it sits on a grocers shelf or distribution plant somewhere. The second ingredient is Sugar and the third ingredient is High Fructose Corn Syrup. All sugar. The forth ingredient is Gelatin! Gelatin is a protein that when consumed by itself interrupts the body's ability to digest other proteins. The vitamins and minerals are synthetic. The iron has been reduced; to what? lol. The synthetic vitamins are nothing but chemical activators, not nutrients. They destroy DNA of cells.

In regard to the BHT they put in the product, the properties which make BHT excellent preservatives may also be implicated in health effects. The oxidative characteristics and/or metabolites of BHT may contribute to carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity; however the same reactions may combat oxidative stress. There is evidence that certain persons may have difficulty metabolizing BHT, resulting in health and behavior changes.

Answer 4

Absolutely. Throw in some fruit and it's a winner. I've stuck to that diet and have lost 12 lbs in two months.

Answer 5

I think it is great, not only good for breakfast, but a snack, lunch, or dinner. I always eat cereal at least twice a day and it hasn't done me wrong yet. Throw in some fruit and it will not only be nutritious but delicious!

Answer 6

RATHER THAN FROSTED USE PLAIN WITH SPLENDA AND BIT OF FRUIT

Answer 7

Get the unfrosted ones.... Loose the sugar.
