One side note before we get to the list of best cereals. What you put on your cereal is crucial too. You will get the fastest weight loss and most profound health benefits by following a no meat, no dairy, no eggs diet. Plant foods only. I recommend pouring soy milk or rice milk on your cereal. Read labels and choose one with little or no sugar, and organic if possible.



There are thousands of breakfast cereals. All the featured cereals below are high in fiber, have no hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup, and are low in fat. Here are the best choices for healthy weight loss:

  1. Oatmeal - Choose plain oatmeal and add your own toppings. For the best of the best, opt for organic oatmeal. Supercharge your oatmeal with sliced bananas, blueberries, cinnamon, strawberries, nuts, and a little stevia for sweetness. 
  2. Kashi Nuggets - A blend of seven whole grains, malted barley, and sesame. This cereal is really crunchy and satisfying. It's also very low in sugar with only 3 grams per serving. Jazz it up with your favorite berries. It can even be heated in the microwave on cold mornings.
  3. Barbara's Shredded Oats - Main ingredients are whole grain oats and whole wheat. A little high in sugar at 12 grams per serving, but a nice treat once in a while.
  4. Cascadian Farm Multi-grain Squares - Like Wheat Chex, only better because they're organic and contain no preservatives or other chemicals. Low in sugar at 4 grams per serving and they taste great.
  5. Nature's Path Pumpkin Flax Granola - Flaxseed is the only plant source of Omega-3's, clinically proven to help prevent heart disease. This granola's main ingredients are a mixture of organic whole grains including oats, wheat, and brown rice. Unlike most granolas, it's not high in fat.
  6. Nature's Path Organic Multigrain Flakes - Very low fat and low sugar. Crunchy and satisfying, holds up well with the soy or rice milk.
What about more commonly available cereals from the big names like Kellogg, Quaker, and Post? Some of them are tolerable, but all have something to avoid like trans-fats, too much sugar, chemical preservatives, or not enough whole grains. If you can't find the brands featured above, at least read labels carefully and choose the highest amounts of fiber, lowest fat, and lowest sugar varieties. You can always order on-line if necessary.

What about added vitamins? A total gimmick! Adding poor quality vitamins to breakfast cereal has no nutritional value. You body only absorbs vitamins and minerals in their naturally occurring states from pure food sources like vegetables and fruit. Don't fall for this advertising baloney. Follow a whole foods, plant-based diet including a variety of fruits and vegetables each day and you will get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.
