Re: Kashi (was: Kind of gross, but so IE..)

[Guest guest]

I like Kashi Go Lean Crunch. I think because I never

had it when I was on WW because I didn't want to

" waste " my points on it. Now I have it nearly every

work morning mixed in with yogurt. It's the perfect

breakfast for work (unless I get a phone call - LOL)

and all I have to bring with me in the morning is my

yogurt since the cereal stays there.

That, paired with a piece of fruit, usually satisfies

me enough to last from about 8 until 11 or so.

If I have oatmeal I'm hungry an hour later, if not

less.

It's interesting how each of us have food that is now

undesirable due to bad diets. And sad.

Agreed. One of the challenges I am currently facing is to dissociate

certain foods with dieting. I have no desire to separate light

versions of favorites from dieting, but I am having to re-discover

whether I like the foods that were legal during dieting days. It's an

interesting process..kind of fun, though

True! I will say that dieting for so many years on WW

did give me some good food ideas that I still

incorporate just because I liked them so much:

Brown rice

Cucumber topped with tuna salad

String cheese and apple snack combination

Hummus and bell pepper (just not green)

Bananas and fat free chocolate pudding

I'm sure I could think of more but I'm kind of sleepy!

This is where steel cut oats with butter/cream comes in - the texture, the

'wholeness' of

them - and the fat from teh butter and cream combine to make them not only taste

so good

- but I don't start looking for lunch until 1 or later.

I loved brown rice and hummus

- but you can keep the fat free 'pudding'. Just the homemade stuff with whole

milk and

eggs, sweetened to my family's tastes (as in, not too -we find a lot of things

too sweet for

us) - it's a good way to get eggs into kids, too

Oatmeal is one of the FEW foods I can

reliably depend upon to fill me up -

that's the primary reason I eat it for

breakfast most days (secondary reason

is it's good for you!) If I have my

oatmeal at 5:30am I usually don't even

start to get hungry until about noon.

If I have almost any other breakfast,

seems I'm starving by about 9:30!!

I've even packed oatmeal for lunch

sometimes. I can nuke it easily at

work and it is filling enough to get

me through my after-work workout before

I finally settle in for dinner at about 6.

I've never tried oatmeal with an egg in

it, but I'm INTRIGUED now. I will try it

tomorrow morning. I've been wanting to

sneak some protein into my breakfast, anyway,

so this seems like a good idea.

Hi ,

I'm like you, I like the Kashi Go Lean Crunch. But I do know what the other ladies are saying about it cutting their mouth. I let mine soak a minute or two in milk and I find it's fine. I love the crunchiness. In fact, I don't think there is a Kashi product out there that I don't like. Have you tried their frozen entrees and pizza's? Not bad. And I love how their foods have more protein and fiber that what you can get in anything else. And they taste good.

I've never had Kashi - so I had to look it up. Are any of you who eat it

regularly hypothyroid?

I love Kashi Go Lean Crunch! It's funny though, before I was

" dieting " I used to eat it every morning because I loved the taste. I

started dieting and started forbidding it! You'd think because it had

" go lean " in the name, I would go for it but just like you, I couldn't

bear to " waste " my calories on it. I had many a binge with that

cereal, and I'm still not ready to try to legalize it! I want to

though, because I love it!!
