Poop Like A Champion Healthy Choice Ultra High Fiber Cereal - A Low Carb Food & Fiber Supplement | Breakfast Essentials with Soluble Fiber, Insoluble Fiber & Psyllium Husk Powder

First of all, I would like to thank the manufacturers for giving this product such a provocative name, it got me to try their cereal. Other reviewers made it sound like the taste or texture would be questionable. I did not find that to be the case. It is crazy high in dietary fiber. I used a food scale and measured out 30 grams. Do not consume more than one serving in the morning.The cereal is very crunchy - I liked the texture and not too sweet. Predominant flavor is corn which is probably why it reminds me of a less sweet version of KIX. Someone referenced the cereal’s shape as reminding them of pet kibble like something you’d feed a domesticated rodent. They’re actually little puffed stars.More than one reviewer suggested ways to “dress up” the cereal so I expected it would be terrible and really need something to dress it up. It doesn’t. It is quite crispy so it takes a long time to turn to mush in milk - it does not go soggy.Anticipating it would be terrible, I came up with a variation recommended by another reviewer:• 2 tablespoons of pistachio paste (pistachio paste made from 100% pistachios - the paste has salt added - you want that.• Dark, bitter sweet, semisweet chocolate chips - about half the volume of the cereal, approximately 1/4 of a cup of chocolate chips.• 4 to six ounces of whole milk.Measure 30 to 33 grams of cereal into a bowl.Pistachio paste is pretty stick gooey stuff. I used an OXO good grips tablespoon with a leveler. I stirred the pistachio paste with a regular small spoon to mix it. Use the tablespoon and the leveler and a small spoon and measure out two tablespoons of pistachio paste into the cereal. I used the leveler and the small spoon to scrape the pistachio paste out of the tablespoon. Using a small spoon throughly stir the pistachio paste into the cereal until it is evenly mixed.Next mix in the bitter sweet/semi sweet chocolate chips.Lastly, pour in 4 to 6 ounces of whole milk.This is really delicious.That said, the cereal itself is quite good, so honestly some milk, or some milk and some fruit is sufficient. It really doesn’t need dressing up.Drink plenty of water. Like lots of it when having the cereal and throughout the day.The cereal is crazy full of fiber. So if you have it and have plenty of water, it will be highly effective. This cereal puts a lot of fiber in you colon, so to quote another reviewer, it could be called, “poop like an elephant.”It does contain inulin. Inulin is natural, but it is a FODMAP. Not everyone digests FODMAPs.Recommendations:1. If your diet is really too low in dietary fiber, the first week or so have half a serving each morning (15 grams). It won’t be enough food so have something else to round up your breakfast in addition to the cereal.2. Drink plenty of water when having the cereal and throughout the day.3. Do not have more than one serving of the cereal in the morning or in the evening.The box contains approximately 7.5 servings of cereal. It is a little expensive compared to other cereals.

I don't care for cereal with milk so I bought this with the intent to make bars out of it with melted mini marshmallows (like rice krispy treats) and I added pecans and chocolate chips for added flavor since cereals like this can tend to taste like the box they came in.I didn't think to try the cereal before I made the bars so I can't comment on the flavor but the bars are delicious so if you dislike the fiber cereal taste it might help to know that it's really good this way. There was four cups of cereal and I used one cup of pecans and a cup of chocolate chips with one bag of mini marshmallows.Short back story: I ate fast food from a restaurant chain and got the worst food poisoning I've ever had. It took three weeks before I could eat anything without having sharp stomach pains. The only thing I was able to keep down was white carbs like rice, potatoes, etc. So that's three weeks with no fiber whatsoever. I tried all the usual "make you go" remedies with very little success.A friend jokingly suggested this cereal to me. I will ABSOLUTELY pay twelve dollars to poop normally again so I ordered some.It got here, I made the bars, and I had a small 2x2 inch piece because I didn't want to do the full 1/2 cup serving. It just seemed wise to start out slowly.That was mid afternoon yesterday. Nothing of note happened all evening and I went to bed hoping that by morning things would be better.I woke up at 2:30 am feeling crampy and very nauseous. Do keep in mind that I had three weeks of, er...backlog to get out of my system so this was to be expected. It's just not going to be terribly comfortable as that stuff is moving through your insides. It was pretty brutal and I didn't feel much like a champion for a while there, but I got through it and finally at 4:12 am I was able to go. Nothing violent. Just a normal "go".I went back to bed and when I got up this morning I went again immediately which was nice. Again, nothing violent. Just blissfully normal and productive.I found this cereal to be highly effective for me and I'm going to cut the rest of the pan of bars into one inch squares, keep them in the freezer, and just have one each morning with my coffee.
