Kellogg's Special K Diet Review Summary

The Special K Diet incurs mixed reviews from our panel of reviewers. The main complaint is that it is a restrictive diet and it contains high fructose corn syrup. This combination can make the plan tough to stick to for more than a few weeks. Not only does it get boring, but you will also find yourself with strong cravings because of the sugar in it, say our dieters. Those who like the Special K Diet enjoy the ease of the plan. You can choose between cereal, snack bars, and Special K water to stay full throughout the day. The plan also incorporates fruits and veggies and a meal to keep dieters from losing nutrients and to keep them feeling satisfied. Checking out diet plans?

I tried this but I did it completely differently. It worked. Eat as much of the cereal you care to in the AM. Sip the special k water all day and all evening. You will use the bathroom like crazy but that's part of it. Eat as much cereal or bars as you like in the afternoon and evening. I didn't count... review »

Kellogg's Special K Diet is based on the idea of eating cereal twice per day and eating one healthy meal per day, along with fruits, vegetables, and other Kellogg Special K products.

Does it Work?

Kellogg's Special K Dietclaims to help you lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks. That's assuming you make it 2 weeks...

I found the Special K diet to be bland and hard to stick to. Even with the variety of flavors it is still to much of the same. I started using this and thought it would be better than slim fast but similar. While i would rather have something to chew like the ceral itself I still got bored. Did it work? Yes it did!! But even though I lost a few pounds when I finally couldnt stand it anymore I binged for about a week, The weight of course came back quickly.

The Special K Cereal Diet really works!!!!!  I tried it about 3 years ago.  I lost 6-8 lbs. in 2 weeks.  However, I didn't use Special K, I used Frosted Flakes!  And I didn't eat cereal for breakfast because I need more than cereal to get me going in the morning.  I ate breakfast as usual and ate cereal for lunch and dinner.  It was hard at first but I had will-power and I stuck with it.  Now I do the cereal diet at least 2 or 3 days a week just to maintain my weight.

I bought the Special K products thinking they were healthy and this diet idea seemed pretty cool, until I decided to check the ingredients a little better and not just believe to what they tell you in all those commercial.

Well... They have High Fructose Corn Syrup, which has been shown in many studies to be connected to obesity and many heart related problems!!!

I don't think so!

I will stick with all the other cereals/ granola bars who don't contain HFCS and/or hidrogenated fats.

This   cereal is so   delicious. My bought it a year ago and I have been   obsessed  with it. I have a bowl usually every morning with  some  fresh cut  fruit and  it is so healthy  and a great   way to start   your   metabolism. For anyone who is going on a diet or just wants to  watch the waist I recommend this. I lost 5 inches    by just eating a bowl in the morning and  having  a  bowl at night   instead of a l ate night snack.  THe chocolare and red berries is also a yummy   treat.  I really enjoying fesh fruit in     mine with some skim milk. soo  Yummy...

My co-workers laughed at me when I started to do the Special K diet three years ago. Of course I put ninety-seven pounds on I was desperate to try anything to take it off. I tried a lot of diets in the past and failed. So when I saw the ad on the TV for the special K diet I thought to myself it is worth a try. I went to the local grocerty store in town before work on night and got some. I was worriers it wouldn't work like all the others had in the past. But I kept on eating the ceral. After the first two weeks was over I did notice I was in smaller jeans.  So I kept on eating the ceral and working...

Hello.

The Special K diet, to me, involves the Special K brands mixed in with the general good-sense diet/ good health habits we all should have. Namely drinking lots of water; exercising; and watching what you eat. Now I do eat Special K to start my day. I often will add blueberries or a banana which gives you more flavor choices and adds vitamins and anti=oxidants which are also beneficial. Even with the added fruit, Special K  is relatively low in sugar, and therefore low in calories.

During the remainder of the day I drink lots of water; eat a sensible lunch, no snacking (other than some...

I started the Special K diet in December. It worked for me, but I did get a bit sick of the products and I found myself constantly hungry. I am slowly weening myself off of the Protein Mixes and Protein Bars, because I've learned that the bars have entirely too much sugar. The plan, though, did work for me. I started at 151 pounds and in two weeks I lost about 8 pounds. I also exercised, about 1-2 miles 4-5 days a week on the treadmill. I thank the Special K diet for getting me to realize that it's not hard to incorporate fruits and veggies into your diet, and that it is okay to snack. The diet... review »

I have been on the Special K diet for 3 weeks.  I lost 2 pounds the first two weeks as opposed to the 6 that it claims you can loose.  I am exercising more now and hope to loose more weight.  What I like about it is that there are a lot of sweets involved, and I am a chocaholic!!  This works for me AND I still get to eat a regular dinner.  Buying the food can be a little costly, but I was eating some of the foods already (the waffles are awesome!;).

Here's a product that will really work if only you try it and stay with it. It is not for the obese or very heavy overwieght. However, it is for only if you want to lose a few pounds, not the extreme. They only promise 6 pounds per 2 week period. and only about 18 pounds total, but  all in all, it is worth it. With it's easy to follow program anyone can do this.
