At first Special K Sustain does fend off your snacking 'urges'. For the first 3 days I was not tempted. Despite the following 11 days of my two week diet leaving me tempted, I didn't stray as I was not ...
...power, but isn't entirely unachievable. Unlike a lot of other cereals the texture remains good from start to finish, the taste is great and it isn't over packed with fibre or unnecessary sugars.

That's when I set out looking for an alternative, and came across Asda's own version, Wheat Bisks. Wheat Bisks look like little bricks, and are made from wholegrain. If ...
...shade of brown and look quite rough and crumbly. But if you open up your mind and let your fun side take over, they really can be something of amazement! There are many ways to enjoy Wheat Bisks, there's bound to be something to suit you. There is one way I enjoy them the most. With two Wheat Bisks sitting in the bowl, I like to pour over boiling water so they go soggy. As I do so and give it a little mix, the bran aroma that fills the air is magnificent. ... Read review
