I’m having a hard time

Submitted by FB (not verified) on December 12, 2011 - 01:58.

I’m having a hard time understanding why Optimum Slim is called Optimum “Slim.” It has more calories than the other two Optimums. It would be great to understand why NPF presents it as especially slimming. Thanks!

Hi there and thanks for reaching out to us! We consider this cereal to be especially slimming for its high fiber and protein. Rest assured, these aren’t “empty” calories because the fiber and protein will keep you full and likely hinder excess snacking throughout the day. Take care, Justine, Nature’s Path Team

I love this cereal; it’s delicious, crunchy, and has enough fiber and protein to keep me going longer than any other cereal I’ve tried. The only thing I’d tweak if I could is for it to have less sugar. Diabetes runs rampant in my family and I’ve lately become very conscientious of my sugar intake. 5g or under would be ideal.
