According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Commite, ninety-five percent of Americans do not get enough whole grain. What are we eating? Fast food???!!! This fact just amazes me. In fact, the average person gets a little more than a half a serving of whole grain each day.
So if you're one of the 95% that is not getting whole grains, you may want to take a closer look at your diet.
MyBlogSpark and Big G cereals want to help. Big G cereals contain at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving (some with more than 16 grams.)
MyBlogSpark is offering one Suburban Jungle reader a chance to win a FREE box of Multi Grain Cheerios and the new book “The Belly Fat Prescription,” by Dr. Travis Stork, MD and host of The Doctors.
I personally really like multigrain cheerios. I mix them with regular cheerios to bring down the amount of sugar even more. And I have only good things to say about Dr. Travis Stork's book. I read it from cover to cover, and while I don't have a weight problem, I found is advice to be sound and correct. I don't have a single complaint about the book (that's unusual!). It's a realistic plan with easy to read stories and advice.
Visit www.WholeGrainNation.com for more tips, additional 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.

I need to be consistant on eating whole grains daily instead of occasionally.
It's an important part of breakfast in our household, and we've even been known to have it as a snack.

I love multi grain cheerios as a snack. When the Olympics were on in Vancouver last year, I got the kids hooked on it too- I told them that they had 3 colours of cheerios- gold, silver and bronze to represent the Olympic medals. They bought it and still eat it as a snack!
I'm on a 3 meals, 3 snacks diet and I usually eat a bowl of cereal everyday with a cut up banana for my afternoon snack. Delicious!

I put it out every night before I go to bed. It's ready in the morning when I get up. I've made it a habit. I add yogurt and fruit. This way I make sure I eat breakfast and I get whole grains

I eat cereal with fiber and antioxidants. It helps me get through the day. When it's late at night and the cravings are high, I grab a bowl of cereal. It settles light and I feel better about eating it.

I eat cereal as a snack, sometimes with milk, and sometimes straight out of the box, but it usually replaces things like cold pizza and candy bars, which can only be a good thing.

I love my cereal in the morning and even at night sometimes. As long as the sugar content is pretty low. It's a healthy carb and I add some pieces of fruit, too.

I have cereal for breakfast every morning (usually multigrain Cheerios, loving that stuff!) and i have it for lunch when I can.
I love Cheerios and eat them with a banana and milk in the morning and sometimes for supper if I don't feel like cooking. dpschad@yahoo.com
I LOVE cereal and eat it for breakfast almost everyday as well as late night before bed sometimes when I need a lite snack. I've been known to make dessert bars out of my favorite cereals as well!
