Step1

You get the sweet craving fulfilled without all the sugar and get something healthy and chocked full of vitamins.

Step2

You can avoid the milk, cutting down on the fat by using only water, a little butter/margarine/butter substitute if you prefer.

This usually fills me up rather quickly while only sustaining in 1/3 of a cup of flakes about 70 grams. That is based upon following the directions on the box as I read it.

Step3

Just have to avoid the excessive amounts of fruits as some of the sweet kinds carry big calorie intake if taken in higher doses..LOL.

Step4

Occasionally I will eat a single can of Mandarin Oranges with about 80 calories in a 1/3 cup serving from a 11oz can.

Step5

This aids to settle the tummy a bit and often can provide you with the comfort without the added unnecessary calories.
