Poop Like A Champion Healthy Choice Ultra High Fiber Cereal - A Low Carb Food & Fiber Supplement | Breakfast Essentials with Soluble Fiber, Insoluble Fiber & Psyllium Husk Powder

First of all, I would like to thank the manufacturers for giving this product such a provocative name, it got me to try their cereal. Other reviewers made it sound like the taste or texture would be questionable. I did not find that to be the case. It is crazy high in dietary fiber. I used a food scale and measured out 30 grams. Do not consume more than one serving in the morning. The cereal is very crunchy - I liked the texture and not too sweet. Predominant flavor is corn which is probably why it reminds me of a less sweet version of KIX. Someone referenced the cereal’s shape as reminding them of pet kibble like something you’d feed a domesticated rodent. They’re actually little puffed stars. More than one reviewer suggested ways to “dress up” the cereal so I expected it would be terrible and really need something to dress it up. It doesn’t. It is quite crispy so it takes a long time to turn to mush in milk - it does not go soggy. Anticipating it would be terrible, I came up with a variation recommended by another reviewer: • 2 tablespoons of pistachio paste (pistachio paste made from 100% pistachios - the paste has salt added - you want that. • Dark, bitter sweet, semisweet chocolate chips - about half the volume of the cereal, approximately 1/4 of a cup of chocolate chips. • 4 to six ounces of whole milk. Measure 30 to 33 grams of cereal into a bowl. Pistachio paste is pretty stick gooey stuff. I used an OXO good grips tablespoon with a leveler. I stirred the pistachio paste with a regular small spoon to mix it. Use the tablespoon and the leveler and a small spoon and measure out two tablespoons of pistachio paste into the cereal. I used the leveler and the small spoon to scrape the pistachio paste out of the tablespoon. Using a small spoon throughly stir the pistachio paste into the cereal until it is evenly mixed. Next mix in the bitter sweet/semi sweet chocolate chips. Lastly, pour in 4 to 6 ounces of whole milk. This is really delicious. That said, the cereal itself is quite good, so honestly some milk, or some milk and some fruit is sufficient. It really doesn’t need dressing up. Drink plenty of water. Like lots of it when having the cereal and throughout the day. The cereal is crazy full of fiber. So if you have it and have plenty of water, it will be highly effective. This cereal puts a lot of fiber in you colon, so to quote another reviewer, it could be called, “poop like an elephant.” It does contain inulin. Inulin is natural, but it is a FODMAP. Not everyone digests FODMAPs. Recommendations: 1. If your diet is really too low in dietary fiber, the first week or so have half a serving each morning (15 grams). It won’t be enough food so have something else to round up your breakfast in addition to the cereal. 2. Drink plenty of water when having the cereal and throughout the day. 3. Do not have more than one serving of the cereal in the morning or in the evening. The box contains approximately 7.5 servings of cereal. It is a little expensive compared to other cereals.

I was looking to increase my fiber intake and this cereal does the job well. I was a little skeptical of the whole "poop like a champion" because I wanted to do that sooooo badly. But this cereal lives up to its name. As others have recommended, do one portion size at a time. I went a little heavy handed on the second time and it caught me a bit off guard while at work. But after a bathroom break I felt like I had dropped 5 pounds. A rather good feeling. I will be purchasing this item again and probably on the regular. The flavor is akin to normal cheerios. Though with a slightly sweet after taste. So I would preferentially eat this over most other cereals. That said, I could see adding in some freeze dried marshmallows to this. I wish this company sold a version of that and called it "Magic poops" (lol). Anyway, if you are looking for a high fiber cereal to help keep you regular I do recommend this. Yes, its a bit pricy but frankly at a regular main chain grocery store boxes of cereal cost 5-6 dollars anyway. And this one actually serves a beneficial purpose. It makes me feel really full and gives me poops that I am proud of every time I visit the throne room.

I am going to break this review up into sections based on the experience. Impressions: Looks: Looks like kibble. Smell: Smells like musty cardboard. Taste: Tastes like cheerios. with a hint of sweetness at the end. Honestly, completely inoffensive in the mouth, I was kind of shocked. I expected something heinous. Nope. Think plain cheerios with a hint of Kix (but minute the sweetness). Did it work? Oh. My. God. Look, you know how it is. You read all the funny reviews on Amazon, haha, and sometimes you give them a try. I joked and sent pics to my friends, we all had a good laugh. Friday night, I felt like a treat, and one of my friends suggested I try Poop Like A Champion, because it seemed like a Friday food and not a Sunday food (in case things went horribly, horribly wrong). I could not argue with that logic. So I had a bowl. A real bowlful, I didn't measure it out. I filled the bowl to the top, then added whole milk and ate the whole thing. Annnnd...nothing. Little gas in the night, but whatever. The next morning, I felt like I had a load but no pressure to go, so I didn't hurry anything. Had my morning coffee. Finally decided to give it a go. Folks, I am not going to lie. Hand on my heart here. I was done within ten seconds. Let me be clear here- this was not a watery stool. It was not a log. It was just a soft creature that politely waited until I was ready, and then cleared out of the house the way parents wish their teens would- quickly, with no fuss, and cleaning up after themselves. My eyes almost bugged out as I realized that I was completely done with my poop in seconds. I couldn't believe it. I stood up and hopped up and down a little bit, seeing how I felt inside. Nope. I was good. Didn't even have that stretched and strained feeling that you get when the load has been pushing the colon out. Just, fine. I mean, I can't believe I am talking about this on the internet, but my god. I felt like the guys from Cobra Kai, thinking they were pretty good, had a handle on things, whatever, and then ran into Mr. Miyagi and learned what a true master was. Price:Performance Ratio: I mean, this just worked. I've tried fiber one, I've added scoops of soluble fiber to my coffee in the mornings, I've done all kinds of things and I can't say it's made an appreciable difference, but I do it because it does no harm and potentially does some good. This is the first time I've felt like the fiber actually did a darned thing. So kudos to the company. That said, wow is this stuff expensive. At something over five bucks per bowl, that is awful darned hard to justify. I would happily buy a pillowcase of the stuff with a bulk discount. But at this pricepoint, I can not justify buying it regularly (no pun intended). That is why I knock off the star. And I hate to do that on the one and only fiber product to ever work, since I assume that it means that maybe it needs to be this expensive in order to get something to work. I don't know. But I hope and pray the company comes out with a bulk form to buy, because if they do, I will for the first time use an Amazon subscription for deliveries. Because this gives me my mornings back, and was amazing. Final thoughts: Seems like a joke, but worked like a charm.

I don't care for cereal with milk so I bought this with the intent to make bars out of it with melted mini marshmallows (like rice krispy treats) and I added pecans and chocolate chips for added flavor since cereals like this can tend to taste like the box they came in. I didn't think to try the cereal before I made the bars so I can't comment on the flavor but the bars are delicious so if you dislike the fiber cereal taste it might help to know that it's really good this way. There was four cups of cereal and I used one cup of pecans and a cup of chocolate chips with one bag of mini marshmallows. Short back story: I ate fast food from a restaurant chain and got the worst food poisoning I've ever had. It took three weeks before I could eat anything without having sharp stomach pains. The only thing I was able to keep down was white carbs like rice, potatoes, etc. So that's three weeks with no fiber whatsoever. I tried all the usual "make you go" remedies with very little success. A friend jokingly suggested this cereal to me. I will ABSOLUTELY pay twelve dollars to poop normally again so I ordered some. It got here, I made the bars, and I had a small 2x2 inch piece because I didn't want to do the full 1/2 cup serving. It just seemed wise to start out slowly. That was mid afternoon yesterday. Nothing of note happened all evening and I went to bed hoping that by morning things would be better. I woke up at 2:30 am feeling crampy and very nauseous. Do keep in mind that I had three weeks of, er...backlog to get out of my system so this was to be expected. It's just not going to be terribly comfortable as that stuff is moving through your insides. It was pretty brutal and I didn't feel much like a champion for a while there, but I got through it and finally at 4:12 am I was able to go. Nothing violent. Just a normal "go". I went back to bed and when I got up this morning I went again immediately which was nice. Again, nothing violent. Just blissfully normal and productive. I found this cereal to be highly effective for me and I'm going to cut the rest of the pan of bars into one inch squares, keep them in the freezer, and just have one each morning with my coffee.

I forgot this was this type of cereal. I was craving cereal and made me a regular bowl... BOY did I make a mistake! Later on, I had forgotten I had eaten it or did not believe it would affect me: once on the toilet, I had to flush because that toilet bowl was FULL! It was the type of trip that leaves you wondering what did you eat earlier because the sounds, odors, and substance made me feel like I was in someone else's bathroom or a truck stop, 😂. My tail felt like I had blown a clogged gasket, but I was glad it was over. Day 2: I did not eat any of that cereal and thought "it was over yesterday". NO SIREE BOB! So there I was, at work, hearing rumble and grumble in my stomach. Now, I had taken pre-workout and hit the gym, and had a light breakfast before work. Suddenly, I had a strong urge to use the restroom, but I DO NOT do #2 at work unless it's a red alert, shooting the flare gun, emergency. So because of my policy, I brushed off the sensation. BUT LET ME TELL YOU, it came back a-knocking with a vengeance! On the drive home was when it hit me, and I am so glad that I was sitting down. Living on the 5th floor, I had never been so ready to not say hello to people as I passed them and wanted this slow elevator to hurry up. Thank God there was only one person on the elevator that needed to get off because I was reaching critical mass - car seat belts save lives and as did the belt I had around my waist! Upon stepping off the elevator, I looked at the floor the whole time as I took each step, ensuring that my subconscious did not think I was already home so that my bowels would start trying to release in the hallways 😖... That would have been a mess!!! Made it into my apartment and did a controlled and delicate preparation to get to the toilet (carefully removing my boots, jacket, I got the help release for last!). When I say that I think my insides are cleaned out, it feels like there was suctioning from the toilet to pull everything out of my body, 😂😂😂. Although I ate solid food, you couldn't tell! I was having flashbacks of prepping for a colonoscopy... It feels like my body temperature dropped! I vacated so much of whatever it was that I needed to take a nap after this 😴. All that to say, the cereal has fiber in it - AND IT REALLY WORKS! I did not have any issues with constipation or my bowels, I use the restroom regularly, but bought the cereal because it seemed healthy. By the way, there was no pain associated with any of my ordeal. I will definitely be careful the next time I make me a bowl of this. I will probably have a very small amount once a week. This first experience was pretty memorable, if you know what I mean!

This product is excellent especially if you are gluten-free person. However, the price has gone up from $13 to now $18. It’s a total rip off and unfortunately there are no other gluten-free high fiber cereals. I don’t understand why the price is so high.

Some backstory first. A few weeks ago, while listening to to, and participating in the chat of, the Toxic Masculinity radio show on KLRN (there's your plug, Grouchy!), the topic turned to this cereal, Poop Like a Champion. Now, pooping like a champion is not the only topic we talk about. For example, sometimes we speak of pooping like a mere also-ran. But I digress, on with my review. Naturally, I had to try a box, and, thanks to Prime, I was clutching mine only two days later. The next morning I opened it, and was greeted with an, um, quite agricultural aroma. It smelled like animal feed, to be honest. But, having spent $12 on a box of cereal, I decided to push on. Pouring myself a bowl, I added a bit of milk, and tasted my first ever spoonful that would hopefully lead me to the pooping hall of fame. Much to my surprise, based upon the aroma, it didn't taste awful. However, it didn't taste good, either. In fact, it has almost no flavor, whatsoever. A day later, the first, err, test results were in. It works as advertised. Admittedly, I had been on a bit of a binge on unhealthy food in the recent past, so the help was welcome. By the time I had finished the box, everything was back to normal, and I can give Poop Like a Champion a coveted One Flush Award. (Lower is better, in this award system.) In short, smelled awful, tasted meh, costs quite a bit for a single box, but does work as advertised. Would flush, err, buy again, if the cost would come down a bit.

It does its job and that, I guess, is the main thing. I find it essentially tasteless but would not disagree with those who compare it to cardboard. Instead of a heaping bowl of Poop, I use a coffee scoop portion (2 Tablespoons) with other cereals and, for me, that works best. If you're here for the fiber, it delivers on that promise.
