I do my own menus, the cereal actually tastes liek cream of whet it is a hot cereal, so I add the ricotta, cream, also splenda and sometimes SF maple syrup..or you could add almonds...the list is endless. I also eat alot of avocados each week. Dinner is usually some sort of pretein, salmon, white fish, beef etc or eggs. If I have the proteins then I have about 1/2-1 cup veggies with butter on them. It is not hard once you get the plan down, now it only take sme about 10 minutes to plot out my menus. On my carb up days I have bagels, red vines, cereal, pop tarts, pasta in marinara...all the high gylcemic low fat carbs. It really is the best of both worlds because your taste buds are really satisfied.
