While there is no shortage of diet and weight loss plans available, one that has been getting some attention lately is the Special K diet plan. So, what is this diet plan all about and more importantly, does it work?

Kellogg’s has been making Special K cereal for decades now and recently came out with a diet plan to lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks. The Special K diet plan is not overly complicated to follow and basically works like this:

1. Eat a bowl of Kellogg’s Special K with 2/3 cup of skim milk for 2 meals a day.

2. Drink liquids like you always do.

3. Eat whatever you like for your third meal.

4. Eat fruit, vegetables or a Special K bar as a snack.

As you can see, the Special K diet plan is pretty simple and anytime you are substituting 2 bowls of cereal for meals, you should lose weight. The research by Kellogg’s shows an average weight loss of 4.4 pounds over the two week period for those following the plan.

Is this the best diet plan?

I don’t think so. Once you try it for a few days you will find yourself still hungry after eating a bowl of cereal. Since your fiber intake is greatly reduced with the Special K diet plan you will need to add more fiber or you’ll find yourself getting constipated.

The other reason why I wouldn’t recommend this type of diet is because you quickly get tired of eating the same bowl of cereal day in and day out. The novelty wears off because you can only take so much. Although Special K is better than many people’s daily diets, it is not a long term weight loss plan.
