Just started eating it and I agree,MIT keeps me so much fuller than other low sugar, fat or carb cereals. I added 2 tbsp cranberries and 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes to it and then 1/2 cup of almond milk, yum! I did learn the hard way it doesn't do to well in the microwave, made a real mess. From now on I'll cook it on the stove top as the directions suggested!
