Special K Diet - Is It An Effective Diet Plan?

The Special K diet has been heavily promoted by Kellogg's over the last few years as a great way to lose weight. In fact, the company boasts that you can lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks. But, does this really work? Is this a diet plan that everyone should try? Here's a closer look.

What Is The special K Diet?

The basics behind this diet are pretty simple. You are told to eat one bowl of any brand of special K cereal with 2/3 cup of skim milk. You are to eat this, along with a serving of fruit, for 2 meals each day.

Your 3rd meal can be whatever you would like. Snacks can be eaten during the day, but only if they are fruit, Special K bars, or fresh vegetables. You can also drink anything you want, but water is recommended.

How Does It Help You Lose Weight?

The Special K diet is another in a long line of low fat, high carb diets. But substituting a bowl of Special k for a fast food lunch, you will naturally be eating fewer calories and fat. And that's the real premise here.

People lose weight when they eat less and take in fewer calories and fat each day. That isn't hard to understand.

Will You Lose 6 Pounds In 2 Weeks?

If you stick to this diet plan just like it directs you, I believe you can lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks. With that said though, the Special K diet will be difficult to stay on for any length of time. How many people can continue to eat 2 bowls of the same cereal every day, day in and day out? It's only natural that you will get burned out quickly.

Parts of the diet are right on the money as far as losing weight goes. Eating fresh fruit and vegetables during the day is healthy and good with weight loss. The same with drinking more water instead of high calorie sodas. But, there are better ways of losing weight that won't leave you feeling hungry or getting burned out.

Special K Diet Challenge Review

Have you taken the Special K Diet Challenge?

The Special K Diet Challenge is a popular cereal diet promoted by Kelloggs and the goal is to lose 1 inch on your waist in 2 weeks. Kelloggs promotes the diet on cereal boxes and with their other Special K products like waffles and protein bars. The basic idea of the diet is to substitute a meal with Special K cereal or another Special K product like waffles. Of course your snacks can also include Special K protein bars.

Anyone who tries the Special K Diet Challenge may lose weight, but its probably not because of any magic behind the Special K products. Most people who replace a meal with Special K cereal are lowering their daily caloric intake which can of course result in weight loss. Special K products have sugar so you maybe even do better just switching to old fashion oatmeal.

Kelloggs has however done a nice job by including some interesting features in their website. You can find a Special K Diet Challenge buddy to share your ups and downs with. Having a partner to lose weight with is extremely important and can't be overlooked. Another nice feature is the ability to pick a coach to sign up with. There are 3 coaches to chose from, a fitness coach, life coach and a nutrition coach. This combined with some other features make the website worth a visit.

The Special K diet is easy to follow and it will probably save you some time each day as you have one less meal to prepare during the day. Overall you might lose the weight and inches but could probably do just as well with a common sense approach to restricting calories on your own by making better meal plans.
