Weetabix The Whole Grain Cereal

I have always liked Weetabix, but even more so at the moment as I am trying, and gradually succeeding, to loose some weight. Why is this particular cereal a great advantage? Easy it comes in ready calorie controlled portions and thus I don’t have to mess about weighing stuff when I’m half asleep in the morning! Anyway let’s start at the beginning. The Packaging Weetabix comes in a distinctive yellow box, which hasn’t changed very much over the years, complete with the Weetabix logo in blue. There is almost always some special offer or other on the box too, with tokens for you to collect. The boxes contain 12, 24, 36, 48 or even 72 ...  Read the complete review

"The wholegrain cereal" It's a whole wheat cereal with added vitamins and iron. Weetabix is excellent :) But I think it must be an accquired taste. My mum tried me with this so many times when I was younger and I detested it, but then when I started University I thought I'd give it another go and I was surprised to find that I actually liked it! You get 3.8 grams of fibre in each serving, which you won't find in many other breakfast cereals. The fibre keeps your digestive system in good working order and it also fills you up so you are less likely to have to snack throughout the day. Some people like it with warm milk ...  Read the complete review

Weetabix is one of those foods that I eat for a few weeks, then forget about and don't buy again for a couple of years, before remembering that I like it and beginning the cycle again. Alot of people eat Weetabix because it is healthy, and the fact that it is a "wholegrain" cereal does seem to back this up. There is some evidence that wholegrain foods can help keep your heart in good working order! I don't eat Weetabix because its good for me though - I eat it because with really ice cold milk, and I mean ice cold, and a little sugar, it tastes AMAZING!! It is a 2 minute breakfast that fills me up and stops me feeling hungry until my ...  Read the complete review
