Have you tried everything from long walks to various diets, but are still not able to squeeze into your old jeans? Well, take heart, for it has been claimed that eating two bowls of cereal a day could help obese people lose weight.

A study suggests that people who eat cereal for two out of their three daily meals could lose more than 1.81 kgs in six weeks. The researchers asked some volunteers to eat only cereal for breakfast and lunch but allowed them to have whatever they wanted for dinner.

The researchers found that two third of those who ate a single cereal and 78% of those who opted for a combination had lost weight by the end of the period. While those on a combined diet lost an average of 1.99 kgs.

Finally, it is confirmed that cereals are easy to incorporate into the diet and contain substantial amounts of fiber, iron, folic acid, and zinc apart from being low in fat. So, stop worrying, eat cereals and stay healthy!
