| This cereal is great! I did not give it 5 stars only because it does have a slight after taste. I tried both the Vanilla and the Maple and even though I have a big sweet tooth, the Maple was way too sweet even for me! But the Vanilla is just right. I will order it frequently. The other reason for the 4 stars is the price. I know low carb products are expensive but I do feel the price is a bit high for such a small box. Otherwise, I love this stuff and as a type 2 diabetic that tries to keep my carbs low, I am so grateful to be able to eat something other than eggs and bacon for breakfast! |

| The flavor and texture are kind of rough, so I like to mix the Hi-Lo with a sweeter/crispier cereal, and add some nuts. I need a protein boost in the morning, and this is a better way than powder. You get the soy protein, high fiber, low sodium and low sugar. It keeps me going until lunch. |

| The only part of low-carb living that I have trouble with is breakfast. I really don't like eating breakfast at all, and if I have to eat, then I want something bready and sweet. Cereal has always been my favorite breakfast, and when Atkins Nutritionals stopped making their cereal, I thought all was lost. Not so - these cereals, the Maple Pecan and the Vanilla Almond, are so yummy! The texture is crunchy and satisfying, they are sweet but not overpoweringly so, and they really do satisfy. The maple flavor is just a little strong in the Maple Pecan for my taste, and I would love to see a Cinnamon flavor of some kind, but, other than that - they are great. I now can have my cereal and lose weight too! |

| Sometimes you just have to have a bowl of real cereal and milk... this is it. The portion is small, but is enough to satisfy the need. The texture is a bit different from regular cereals but is still pretty good, and the flavor is actually quite nice. |

| Delicious. ALMOST as good as the discontinued Atkins line of boxed cereals, which had a lower carb count. In absence of that, Hi-Lo is our brand of choice for low-carb cereal. Our 2 equal faves are the Maple Pecan and the Vanilla Almond. HINT: I'm buying the 12oz Original for 1st time. If it's not fab as a cereal, I'll crush it and use with butter and Splenda as a pie crust (pre-baked or not) such as for cheesecake, or as a eggwash coating for chicken strips, etc, much like I'd have used flour years ago. Slightly crush as topper for Dannon Light & Fit Carb & SugarControl yogurt. Or use as a base to make your own granola. |

| I really like the Hi-Lo Vanilla Almond cereal. I suggest not letting it sit before eating, after adding cream or milk so that it keeps the nice crunch. My only complaint is that I cannot eat just one serving.... OK, and the box is a bit smaller than I would like for the price, however the convenience of having something simple at hand to have as a meal or snack is great. Cereal is not just for breakfast and having a box or 2 on hand comes in handy to keep me from grabbing something that is not so healthy when something simple is needed. |
