Following the Special K diet is nothing if not easy. For breakfast, dieters eat a single serving of Special K (110 calories) with 2/3 cup skim milk and fruit. Lunch or dinner is also milk, cereal, and fruit.

The dieter consumes whatever they want for the third meal a day. Fresh fruit, veggies or a Special K Bar are the snacks which are recommended. There are no limitations regarding what can or can't be drank. There is an entire line of great-tasting snacks including Protein Snack Bars, Protein Water, Cereal Bars and Snack Bites to go along with the cereal.

The Special K Web site even offers customized weekly menus based on a person's preferences. By responding to a few questions about likes and dislikes, they create a complimentary meal plan based on their products. For example the menu for Sunday might look something like this:

It sounds simple enough, but I like variety and get bored really easily, so I think I'll mix the special K diet in the morning and do the Subway diet for lunch and No Soda!!!

It just seems to me that this may not be enough calories for someone who is very active. If i have cereal for breakfast, i am usually starving by 10 AM.

This special k diet worked for me. i lost 30 pounds in two months combined with walking 3 miles 3 times a week. It was hard to stay on though because you do get bored of eating cereal all the time.

This Diet is great! I go on it each time I need to drop a few pounds. I started by just eating one bowl in the morning and lost weight as well, that replacing 2 meals aday. You can use any low cal cereal, if you've noticed some cereals have their own version of cereal diets out these days. remember to excersice as well.

This review pretty much hits it right on the head. Last year I was on the Special K diet for 2 months and I lost 25 pounds. The varitey within the diet in limited, but the protein snack bars, protein water, etc. are really great. By the time you start to get hungry after eating a Special K bar and apple for lunch, its time for a snack. So you never feel that hunger sensation. I am currently on it again and I'm here to say it works and I love it!! So try it. =)

Okay, so it works while you are on it, but do you really think you are going to want to eat cereal for 2 meals a day for the rest of your life? You lose the weight initially but you are just going to gain it back again. You have to establish a healthy lifestyle and eat a balanced diet consistently.

Ok, here's the issue I have with this diet. Sure it may work but what happens when you reach your ideal weight? Then what? do you continue to eat cereal 2 times a day or is your "diet" over? Are you not just setting yourself up to go back to your old habits right after you get where you wanted to be? People just need to learn to eat right, no one should diet, ever! It's about portion sizes. Even the cereal diet won't work if you are eating 4 bowls in a sitting. Plus Special K is one of those cereals I'd put sugar on, that can't be good. Nope, I eat everything. I just don't need to eat tons of it. Ya also need to MOVE! Good luck all.

I am interested in the Special K products but i am from Trinidad & Tobago. All we have thus far is the Cereal and the Snack bar could u tell me if there is in Distributor in my country the sells the Specal k water or the other food products. If not could the cereal and the bar along with fruits work and as u say you could have dinner of your choice?

After about a week on the diet I started feeling sick after eating. Usually after the second meal of cereal. I stopped eating the cereal as a second meal and ate lean meat or some leftovers from the previous night's dinner and figured out that my body needs more than just the cereal and a piece of fruit. After eating the normal meal, I felt fine. I suggest eating the cereal for breakfast ONLY and two normal meals with larger portions of vegetables and fruits. You could substitute one of the meal bars for a meal every other day or so, but I wasn't able to run on two servings of cereal a day.

This makes dieting very simple...2 low cal meals, 1 "normal" meal (with low cal snacks). However, I am trying to limit my "grains, and eat more fruits and vegs. Same style of diet.....

I notice that special K cereal uses high fructose corn syrup. No wonder I woke up craving it every morning. For that reason alone I quit using their products. Effective as a diet or not, I do not like that ingredient in anything I consume. Kellogs owes it's trusting customers better than that.

I started in april of this year so to stay commited I purchased the product at costco so I would be sure to have it at the ready. I lost over 25lbs since incorporating the ceral with a 3 day a week exercise program of wieght lifting, bike riding and walking as well as watching the junk that i use to eat. I went from 211 lbs to 185 lb and a muscular build.So if your serious about knocking it off try my method it works and its greeeeeat.

I started the special k program 6 weeks after I gave birth (gave birth on Jan 30) so that I would be able to include jogging every morning with the program. But what I did differently was that I had a normal portioned meal during lunch & had a bowl of cereal for dinner instead. Up to today, I lost 62lbs (58lbs from my pregnancy). This program really does work but the hardest part is just sticking it out.

I've just started today but feels like a lot of food; I'm not hungry at all... I wonder if it'll work. I'll let you know in 2 weeks.
There should be portion size for the salads to "make it a meal".

Thanks for this informative post! I think break fast should be in heavy amount so that it will provide you all day a necessary amount of nutrition.
