Step 1
Choose a cereal that is high in fiber and low in sugar.
-
Step 2
Measure out the amount of cereal you eat. Eat no more than a cup of cereal per sitting.
-
Step 3
Use either skim or soy milk with your cereal. Once again, it’s wise to measure out the amount of milk you put into your cereal. If you eat a cup of cereal, for example, use about half a cup of skim or soy milk.
-
Step 4
To make a meal out of your bowl of cereal, add pieces of fruit to your cereal. You could add anything from berries to bananas.
-
Step 5
Supplement a bowl of cereal for a meal occasionally. For example, you could have a bowl of cereal for lunch as well as breakfast.
-
Step 6
If you have a craving late in the day for a snack, eat cereal instead of a sandwich or a snack that is high in sugar. If you are having cereal simply as a snack, don’t add fruit to the bowl.

Step 7
While on the “cereal diet” it’s still important to exercise. Remember that a simple change in diet is not nearly enough to implement any real healthy change for you.
