I would like to share a whole-grain breakfast cereal that I make
myself. I put raisins in it & find it very satisfying. Keeps me from
being hungry for a long time. I got it from a weird book called "How
to Stop the Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome," can't remember the author, but his
idea is basically vlf too. Here's the recipe:

WHOLE-GRAIN BREAKFAST CEREAL

1 cup whole wheat berries
1 cup whole rye berries
1 cup whole triticale
1 cup whole barley
1 cup brown rice
1 cup buckwheat groats
1 cup millet
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup flaxseed
1 cup lentils
10 cups oat groats

I mix it up, then cook a pot of it by measuring 2 cups of cereal to 5
cups of water, bringing it to boil, & then letting it sit over night.
Then I have a bowlful each morning, heated in the microwave until the
cooked cereal is gone and I need to make more. Or you could do the
same with a smaller amount, for one serving, say, try 1/4 cup of
cereal. It's very chewy and satisfying. And of course lots of whole grains.
Sometimes I just use oatmeal instead of oat groats, since they are
difficult to find and I like the consistency that oatmeal adds.
