For difficult weight loss
There are very few high calorie cereals. Generally, cereal is a relatively low calorie option. However, the type of milk you add to your cereal WILL make a difference, (see below). The healthiest cereals are wholegrain, bran or fiber-fortified varieties. Sugar-coated or candy-coated varieties are less healthy and best avoided.
Milk
1 Cup of whole fat milk contains 8 grams fat and 150 calories
1 Cup of skimmed milk contains almost zero fat and 90 calories
So by switching to skimmed milk, 7 days a week, you can reduce your
annual calorie intake by 21,900 calories. (The equivalent
of 6.25 pounds in weight.)

Weight loss and dieting doesn't mean eating less - just different.
