2 Cereals That Won't Make You Fat

If you're watching your carbs, you may find yourself avoiding certain cereals for breakfast. However, according to Ellen Kunes and Frances Largeman-Roth, authors of the best-selling new book The CarbLovers Diet, a couple types of cereal actually promote weight loss: cornflakes and puffed wheat.

Why? Because they both contain resistant starch, which travels through your bloodstream nearly intact to keep you feeling fuller longer. You can also munch on these cereals for a satisfying snack, especially if you mix the cornflakes with dried fruit and nuts or the puffed wheat with dates and coconut. Either way, you can raise your metabolism and shed pounds without worry.
