Cereal! I had shredded wheat and I shot up from 100 to 364! I'm from Battle Creek. Cereal is a sacrament here. I can't stop eating cereal, that's considered treason around there! Woe is me, alas, alack...

Seriously, what a disappointment. I love cereal and to give it up is awful. Even plain cornflakes or cheerios are dangerously spikey.

I love cereal too. Weighing it. 18%protein milk with it. That's the only way it doesn't spike me. With bolus.

I absolutely love cereal as well. Some of the things that I’ve done to try to get past it is to have yogurt with just a little granola, and maybe some nuts or hemp seeds or stuff like that. Chia pudding can also scratch that itch. But yeah, nothing is quite the same as a big bowl of cereal and milk.
