What does that have to do with health, weight loss, and lifestyle change?

There are far too many health and food advocates who profess perfection. Here's one example: This nutrition expert "disses' Fiber One cereal. 

First, let it be know, that Fiber One (it could have been other high fiber cereals) was instrumental during my initial weight loss. 

Here's his two "big" reasons: First, the Fiber One website resorts to misleading tactics and inaccurate figures to showcase their products.  Second, some of their products contain questionable ingredients and less-than-desireable nutrition values.

My response: First, I do not recommend making food decisions based on manufacturer claims and definitely ignore front of package claims. It's marketing hype that can exaggerate nutrition advice. Second, while there might be some ingredients that are not as good as eating whole foods, such as, fruit, it's of minimal concern.

So, find a high fiber cereal that you enjoy and load it up with blueberries, raspberries, bananas, strawberries, and more.

Please, don't let perfect be  the enemy of good. 

I just read this in Fitness magazine:

Most of us consume only about half the daily recommendation for fiber, which keeps you full, aids digestion and helps lower cholesterol. Its recommendation: If you're eating a lot of produce and whole grains and still need help reaching the recommended 25 daily grams, fortified foods are OK.

Related to the 25 grams, I recommend reading this!
