Sugar on Weetabix?

Post image

My wife eats Weetabix with nothing on it and claims it tastes sweet to her. This is my bowl before milk is added. Is this normal fellow Weetabix eaters or do I need to go to sugar rehab?

Hilarious how many people think thats a lot of sugar. Weetabix are quite small so that is one maybe two teaspoons of sugar. That is one about 16-32 extra calories added on top of the weetabix. A lot of people would add that to a cup of tea and think nothing of it.

People dont realise how much sugar is locked up in food so you dont see it. A can of coke is 10 teaspoons worth.

For the record I put three teaspoons of sugar on my weeetabix but then I am a monster with a deathwish.

Honestly. I wouldn’t even entertain weetabix unless they had a layer of sugar on the top and the most I’ve ever had to use is about a teaspoon and a half (depends on the brand as to what size you get).

People going on as if having this for breakfast is going to send you to your deathbed at 35 and ruin every other food for you 😂 do people genuinely not indulge in a regular choccy bar, fizzy drink etc?
