Yea, that is a lot of cereal. I definitely didn't need that much food but for some reason I wanted that much food. Oh, and I wouldn't have had the OJ on top of that personally.

Today I still eat cereal but usually a cup at most, and either without milk or with almond milk. I started on a diet (the south beach diet) about 5 years ago and I lost over 100 pounds. I don't consider myself to be following any specific diet nowadays, I'm just more healthy and smart about what I eat, and I eat much smaller portions. I also exercise 3 times weekly, and need to find time to increase that even more.

I will say when I first started my diet I dropped cereal and just ate scrambled eggs almost every morning. My morning energy levels skyrocketed.
