I tried to create cocoa krispies today! I put 3/4 cup Uncle Sam's cereal, 1/2 scoop of Jay Robb whey protein, almond breeze, and a sprinkle of purevia. I figured if the chocolate powder could be used with oatmeal, that is might be good with the cereal. I am still not sure if I will ever make it again, but it did remind me of cocoa krispies. If I do, I will probably mix the powder in the almond breeze and then pour it on the cereal.
I believe the key is to be creative, have fun, and find what works for me. I have definitely increased my fiber intake and have been aware of consuming more fiber since Monday's meeting.
I am still not keeping the tracking sheet 100%. I do think keeping the food diary is so important to my success. Gary, The Weight Wizard in Austin, TX, Jorge, and Shannon have all talked about how a major key to success is keeping a food diary. And, the tracking paper is easier than writing down actual foods consumed. I will be excited to find an iPhone app that will allow me to track 15/6 and 30 g of fiber, because I almost always have my phone.
If you feel deprived on BFC, I think Monday night is a session that will help. I felt weak when I logged in and writing my blog has helped reinforce information I've been given from several food experts.
Tip: Have fun and experiment with your meals. Think about items that used to be off limits or severely limited like avocados, bacon, and butter.
Being healthy is a Divine gift from my Higher Power and I gratefully accept it.

The only other time I was ever successful in losing a significant amount of weight I kept a food diary. For whatever reason it does really seem to help. Maybe it just keeps you more honest. I really like the simplicity of the tracking sheets though. I agree that being creative and having fun is definately key. I really look foreward to going to the grocery store now, searching out hidden gems! Love your blog, keep up the good work!
