One food that I love is cereal and there are many different flavors out there that I enjoy. My top favorite though….Lucky Charms. I love me some marshmallows! However, I am a big fan of Multi-Grain Cheerios as well but I use them as a snack item.
Since weight management is more than just watching the calories, I have to make sure that I am getting the proper nutrients from the foods I am eating and by eating Big G cereals I know that I am including whole grain and nutrient-dense foods into my body.
Every Big G cereal contains at least 8 grams of whole grains per serving, with more than 20 Big G cereals delivering 16 grams or more. (At least 48 grams of whole grain are recommended daily.) A diet high in whole grain has been found to help with diabetes and weight management, and may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
Frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights (and that includes people who choose sweetened cereals).Cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters. Cereal consumption as part of an overall healthy lifestyle may play a role in maintaining a healthy body mass index.
According to “The Belly Fat Prescription,” by Dr. Travis Stork, MD and host of The Doctors, a large amount of research has shown that belly fat carries more health risks than fat stored elsewhere. In his book, Dr. Stork also offers several additional “Laws of Leanness,” including:
If you love to graze: Nosh all day long on your favorite fruits and vegetables to help keep your belly full
If you love fatty foods: discover which fats can actually strip away pounds
If you love soda: substitute more delicious drinks that can help you lose up to four pounds in four weeks.
You can visit Whole Grain Nation for more tips and information about the benefits of whole grain and how Big G cereals can be a convenient and tasty way to help you manage your weight by incorporating whole grain into your day.
