Proof has arrived that nearly anything can be turned into
a diet. The Special K diet is all the proof we need. Kellogg's Special K is now
promoted as a weight loss program! Woo Hoo! Breakfast for lunch! Kellogg's says
that you can lose an inch from your waist in two weeks. Here are the details.
The Special K diet isn't a code name for some new
designer drug. It is actually Kellogg's cereal, called Special K. By eating
Special K cereal and associated products for breakfast and lunch, you can lose
weight.

Dinner is your chance to really shake things up! You
don't have to eat anything made out of Special K. You should chose foods that
are low in fat, high in fiber and well balanced nutritionally. Say, 600
calories or so. That means that you've made it through your day at 1,200
calories. This is right in line with the government's recommended minimum
calorie intake, so it's pretty safe.
Will you lose weight? If you follow this plan you will
probably lose 1-2 pounds a week, again in line with the government's
guidelines. Since the Special K cereal and snack bars are pretty low in fiber,
you are going to be hungry a lot. Really, you're going to be hungry.
For those glycemic index fans out there, you should know
that the Special K cereal and snack bars digest very quickly, so you will get a
burst of glucose. This triggers a spike in insulin secretion and will leave you
feeling pretty empty and listless a few hours later.
Why is the Special K diet so popular? It certainly is
easy to understand and follow. Just search out that pretty letter K and you're
all set at the supermarket. You don't need to count calories at breakfast and
lunch, since the Special K products are all low-cal and it is REALLY hard to
eat too much. Plus, eating anything for breakfast (rather than skipping) is a
good thing. It kick-starts your metabolism and gets your body burning calories
right away.
On the other hand, eating Special K two or three times a day,
every day, can get old pretty fast. This is not a life-long diet plan. You are
depending on dinner to provide pretty much all of your nutrition, so pay very
close attention to serving up a balanced meal.
If you need to drop a few pounds before that beach
vacation, the Special K diet may be perfect for you. The plan is simple and can
actually work, without hurting your body. If you are looking for a long-term
lifestyle change, there are better alternatives.
This cereal is my favorite breakfast because it's very easy to prepare and it's keeping my body fit. My Long Island dietician told me that these food group could really help me eliminate body fats.
