What, no cartoon characters on the box? No bold, in-your-face health claims? Nope. Post Shredded Wheat is cereal at its gimmick-free finest. Each biscuit is built entirely from one ingredient: whole wheat. That fills your bowl with fiber and protein numbers that other cereals can’t match, and with just a couple of additions, you can convert this age-old grain into a powerful weapon in your battle against belly fat.

Not That!
