Really all cereals are crap. You're essentially eating a bowl of crackers marketed as being part of a nutritious breakfast.

Oatmeal is my weekend meal.....I mush up a banana, throw in some Raisins, Walnuts and a touch of honey....good stuff.
Don't have time in the morning to cook oatmeal....did the research on the cereal and found that the mini wheats are a good source of fiber and protein for the bang and they don't taste like plaster. quick and easy
Special K is crap.....most cereals are as you said. Gotta read the labels.
bottom line is that if you want to lose weight you gotta limit calories....period. doesn't matter what you eat it matters how much of it you eat.
The whole wheat, anti oxidant, low fat, low cholestorol, no trans fats...offer other health benefits but weight loss isn't really one of them.....if you eat 5000 calories a day in fruit and veggies you still won't lose weight.......you'll probably feel better because of the vitamins and minerals you are taking in versus empty calories....but it isn't helping with weight loss
Biggest thing someone can do to lose weight is portion control....eat the amount the label says....that and move around...sitting around and just watching what you eat isn't going to get much done either.
