According to Professor Vincent Marks, you could be suffering from Muesli Belt Malnutrition. According to him, eating an overly healthy diet could be depriving you of essential fats.

That idea is discounted by most scientific studies, though.

Muesli and orange juice - mmmmmm! Sounds, uh, , well, I've never actually tried it and I'm not sure I want to. It sounds like an overly healthy diet to me.

Let Mikey try it! He hates everything!

Muesli, orange juice and Guinness; it's all you need.

Anything tastes good after a glass of Guinness.

Even dog crap.

I googled to refresh my memory about when that was current and found this, which I'd never heard:

A few years after the commercial appeared, an urban legend began to spread that the unknown actor who played Little Mikey had died after eating an unexpectedly lethal combination of Pop Rocks (a type of carbonated hard candy) and soda.

Jim Koch of Cleveland, OH has some input; apparently he gave it a shot: "You might be
short on ascorbic acid and other vitamins found in green vegetables."

Then there's this article on a Muesli diet:

Muesli is a nutritionally sound combination of foods, but it is not balanced enough to replace all of your other meals and snacks. Eating a diet of only muesli will not provide enough protein or the vitamins and minerals found in vegetables. Replacing breakfast and snacks with muesli is a good choice if you are trying to lose weight, but aside from not providing balanced nutrition, an all-muesli diet will not change the eating habits that put the weight on in the first place, and almost guarantees that you will put it all back on the minute you stop the diet.
