The Special K Diet Challenge is a diet plan designed around the Special K breakfast cereal, snack and meal bars.
According to the Kellogg's Special K , website you can lose up to 6 pounds in two weeks. The average weight loss is five pounds, when replacing two normal meals with two Special K cereal meals.
The Special K Diet Challenge is a no-brainer as far as weight-loss programs go:
1. Start your day with any variety of Special K cereal with 2/3 cup of skim milk plus fruit.
2. Replace another meal with another serving of your favorite Special K cereal or Special K protein meal bar.
3. Eat your third meal of the day as you normally do.
4. You're allowed to have two snacks per day, such as fruits and vegetables or any of the Special K line of snack bars, cereal bars, snack bites and Special K2O Protein Water.
5. Consume beverages as you normally would.
On the Kellogg's Special K website, you can create your own personalized Special K Diet Challenge , just by answering a few questions with their interactive questionaire.
I took the questionaire and it was pretty straight forward, consisting of just five questions.
You answer three questions about your attitude toward dieting and eating habits.
Then, you choose your favorite Special K cereal and products for your weight-loss plan . Lastly, you select which day of the week you would like to start your challenge.
The result is a personalized, Special K seven-day diet meal plan . Breakfast, lunch, and two snacks contain Special K cereal and other Special K products, based upon your selections during the questionaire.
You get to choose your own food for dinner.
You can modify any meal or snack by clicking on the individual menu listing and making a new selection from the drop-down menu that appears in the box. You can also toggle between the Week One and Week Two menu plan s.
You can easily email or print your plan or send it to a friend, if you so desire. You're also given the option of printing a coupon for Special K2O Protein Water. You also get special motivating diet tips for each day of the week.
If you don't like the The Special K Diet Challenge plan that you've been given, you can easily reset your challenge and start all over again!
Okay, that's the basics of the The Special K Diet Challenge . But does this diet really work? And is it healthy?
Pluses:
1. You'll be adding calcium to your diet. And studies have shown that adequate calcium intake can help you lose weight.
2. You'll be eating breakfast on a regular basis, which is supposed to help kick-start your metabolism, which also aids in weight loss.
Minuses:
1. There are no exercise recommendations.
2. Nor are there any suggestions for a healthy, non-cereal meal.
3. You'll be getting very little fiber or whole grains.
4. The diet is very repetitive and you may get bored easily.
In conclusion, the Special K Diet Challenge is very similar to other meal replacement plan s. You'll probably lose weight following the plan as you'll be eating fewer calories and less fat than normal. If you want to try a meal-replacement plan , your best bet would be to combine several of them to add a more variety of options.
