Is Kashi GoLean cereal good for weight loss?

It has a lot of carbs and calories in it, so I was wondering if it’s good for weight loss. I’ve been eating oatmeal and I’ve been successful with that so I’m afraid to switch to something different.

What are some fast, healthy meal ideas for weight loss?

What do you do when you’re running out the door? Is it not smart to grab a granola bar?
Is oatmeal a wise choice for breakfast, as far as weight loss goes?

Skin care: I've stopped eating sugar, now what?

I’ve finally weaned myself off sugar completely, after connecting the dots (no pun intended), and realizing I had hypoglycemic acne. My daily diet is made up of mostly fruits and leafy vegetables and broccoli now, with some almonds, a very small amount of organic yogurt, a very small amount of salmon, and either brown rice and plain oatmeal, and green tea occasionally. I take a ballet class 3-4 times a week, and feel very, very good, and very energetic and balanced. I’m left with the ravages of nearly 19 years of cystic acne on my face, neck, and chest, though, and am wondering what I can do- now that I’ve addressed what I can of the underlying cause- about my somewhat oily, pockmarked skin. I’m currently using Clinique face wash for Oily Skin, and am finishing up a tube of Neutrogena’s Anti-Wrinkle moisturizer (which I won’t be buying again). I don’t want to get involved in a massive "project" with revitalizing my skin, just a few really, really good products that actually have long-term results in clarifying scarred skin, and preventing some wrinkle formation. I’m not expecting my scars to "disappear", or to push off aging indefinitely (I’m 28), and am not looking at surgery or skin resurfacing as options. I’m not made of money, but I will pay for a really good product that works. The only caveat is that it can’t be tested on animals, and is preferably vegan (ie, it has the flying bunny logo on it). That pretty much leaves anything on the Sephora website as a viable option, and I’d really appreciate any ideas-

Thank you in advance.
I drink at least 60 ounces of water a day, sometimes more.

What can I add to my diet to have a bowel movement?

I’ve changed my diet for the past 6mths I eat oatmeal with flax seed ground, and tea in mornings w/banana and then lunch either chicken of fish with veggies and iceburge lettuce and drink at least 6-8cups of water a day. But I still don’t have bowel movements once a day instead it’s 2-3days. So my question is what can I take or change in my diet to have bowel movements once a day.

What foods do you recommend for a high fiber diet?

I am dealing with hemorrhoids, and I’m only twenty two, but they have gotten pretty bad. As a result, i’m trying to eat a high fiber diet. Usually it consists of

–apples and pears
–triscuits
–raisin bran/raisin nut bran
–oatmeal
–whole grain pasta

Can anyone tell me what foods they eat that help them increase fiber in their diet? I know that regular fruits and veggies should do the trick, but its not in this case. I am going to see my doctor tomorrow, because its gotten so bad, but whether or not i have to have it surgically removed, I am still going to need a high fiber diet. It would be great if there were any snack foods you could suggest that I could munch on throughout the day. I guess you could say I’m looking for very high fiber foods in particular. A super fiber food (if you will). Any suggestions? The more specific the better.

Thanks!
