text: is there a cereal diet that allows you to have cereal? if so, what kinds / is there a variety / and how much? can you eat per day?  also, what's the best type of milk?   thanks for answers. you really want to watch the sugar in your cereal. that's really the culprit. most cereal ingredients list sugar 2nd or 3rd in the ingredients. this is not good!! even special k ladies... anyway kashi is a good choice because it does not have all the sugar. try kashi go lean crunch (taste like sugar smacks) or kashi heart to heart (taste like honey nut cheerios!) regular cereal you'll be stuck with something like grape nuts, shredded wheat etc yuck! also, no higher than 2% milk but if you can stand it try skim milk. only 1 cup and try not to eat it as a late night snack.
