Date: Tue, 25 Jan 94 08:24:18 PST From: words@ucsco.UCSC.EDU (50076000) 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. kwvegan vegan
