This review is from: Familia Low-Fat Muesli Cereal, 21-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

I have tried all the FAMILIA cereals- I think there are 6- muesli and granolas - by trial and error this one - Familia Low-Fat- is for me perfect because I don't like the granolas that are sweetened with honey- The Original Style Familias are really mostly just oatmeal and a few raisons - not a great value. This one has lots of fruits and nuts without being too sweet.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent and Healthy Choice for Anyone's Diet, September 2, 2006

This review is from: Familia Low-Fat Muesli Cereal, 21-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

A quality product from Bio-familia, a Swedish company that developed "Birchermüesli" a product so popular and successful that made the name Muesli famous all over the world.

If you need a high fiber and protein snack option for your diet, this is absolutely a very good product. You can't go wrong and the best of all: excellent taste and quality, and for a pack of six this comes at a good value. The fact that this cereal is low-fat makes a good product even better if you are trying to lose some weight or wanting to keep in shape.

Sometimes your diet will require you eat frequently and consciously, and in those cases you need to have a snack at hand when you get hungry, in order to keep your metabolism high all day long. In such cases finding a good and balance option could be hard. I love this 6-pack and I always have one at home an another pack at the office. I try to eat five or more times a day, so in my case having a healthy snack at hand wherever I am when I get hungry is a priority.

Since you are checking this product I have to guess that you are probably a person that cares about what you eat, either because you are interested in losing weight, getting in better shape or just be healthier and keep in good shape, so I will share my own experience in the weight loss game and staying in shape game

My own successful personal experience in weight loss is based on strategies to boost metabolism. Don't stress yourself, eat frequently, eat just what you need each time, and choose wisely what you are going to eat, supplement your diet. Yet simple and it works. I loss more than 200 lbs and shrink my waist (from 44 to 32), and I have been able to keep in good shape since then. Every single aspect of my life has improved since then.

Keep in mind that a good diet is just part of the equation, you also need a plan that helps you keep on track and monitor your condition. Based on my own personal experience I can recommend some tools that you may want to consider, to establish your own strategies for boosting your metabolism, loosing weight, and even more important keeping that weight off. They are:

- "Ultrametabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss" by Mark Hyman. A practical an realistic plan for weigh loss.
- "The ABS Diet", which is another very practical, readable, insightful, and inspirational book, that also includes an exercise plan.
- A Body Fat Monitor or Scale. This will help you monitor your progress, to assure that the weight you are loosing is fat (fat lost = increased metabolism) and not muscle, water or bone mass (decreased metabolism).
- A Heart Rate Monitor Wrist Watch. This is an excellent tool that will help you monitor and control your Heart Rate in order to keep yourself in a burning fat state (increased metabolism).
- "Heart Monitor Training for the Complete Idiot", a primer on the use of Heart Rate Monitors for health improvement or weight control.

If you want to star focusing only on your diet, the first two may be worth considering. If you exercise, or want to start doing it right, the last threee are for you. If you do both, all the recommended options can improve your results.

I am 39 years old, With the help of the tools I just mentioned not only I went fro size 44 to size 32 pants, but also obtained substantial benefits that included weight control, cardiovascular improvements, lowered blood pressure, and improved muscular-skeletal strength and flexibility, but also the myriad of mental and psychological benefits derived from being in the best shape of my life.

Get this 6-pack of Low-fat Muesli to help your 6-pack ABS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yours is the superior Muesli, May 11, 2008

This review is from: Familia Low-Fat Muesli Cereal, 21-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

Like another reviewer, I've sampled a number of the other Familia mueslis, and other granolas and mueslis at stores.

This is the superior muesli. (I'm eating some now to make sure I get this right...) I wouldn't think of myself as a muesli commentator, but this stuff is surprisingly good so I had to chime in.

It has a good selection of dried fruit and nuts, plus a bit of dried rice and corn flakes for texture. I wasn't particularly looking for low-fat but that's a bonus.

Very tasty to eat! I eat it with breakfast, and often as dessert after dinner.

Enjoy...
