Swaps

Instead of Bran cereal or muesli, use Cornflakes or a similar rice-based cereal
Bran and muesli are built from the husk and germ that this diet needs to leave out, while cornflakes are milled down to almost nothing but starch.
Instead of Muesli or granola bars, use Plain shortbread, or a syrup-bound rice-cereal bar
Muesli and granola bars are built from oats, bran and dried fruit, so a plain shortbread or a syrup-bound rice-cereal bar gives the same grab-and-go snack without any of it.
Instead of Bran-topped or seeded fruit muffins, use Plain white-flour muffins with a seedless jam swirl
It is the bran topping and pips in the fruit that cause the problem, not the muffin itself, so a plain white-flour version with a seedless jam swirl gives the same treat without them.
