I started the Special K diet on monday, and i was good yesterday and monday, but I am sooo hungry today (maybe because im getting PMS-y lol). I had to have a 60 calorie Snack pack for a snack, which isn’t too bad. I was doing Weight Watchers and, to be honest, that working very well, I dunno, I may just do the rest of the wk on special K then do weight watchers, again… any suggestions?
How to do the Special K diet
How I did it: They whole idea seems like it would be great. All I have to do is eat cereal and I'll lose weight, awesome! What they fail to mention is that you aren't getting enough food to satisfy your body and you definitely aren't eating in a well-balanced way.
This is especially not good for those who are looking to lose a lot of weight and keep it off. The Special K diet is just what it says, a diet. Just another diet/fad thing. The best way to lose weight is to change your lifestyle. Yeah, it is harder than it sounds, but it's worth it. There aren't any easy diet crazes that are going to cut it...not to mention you will start to HATE the taste of Special K!

I need to eat more hot food anyway and I think I should lose weight by changing my diet not with short term things like this. So.

I cannot stick to the Special K Challenge. Unfortunately I need better food choices for my daily calorie restriction. I will still eat it for breakfast or perhaps a lunch one day but I am not able to commit to this way of eating. I am working out 6 days a week and I really need more protein and fiber in my diet than this cereal can supply me for 2 meals a day. Good bye Special K Challenge. I do not feel like a failure, i feel I made the right choice.

I just started yesterday. My goal is to do this diet from May 18th until July 1st. I have a trip to LA the first week of July and I’d like to drop at least 10-15 pounds before then.
Yesterday was fine. Today has been a bit more of a challenge. I found myself starved at lunch and an hour after lunch I was already thinking of dinner.

I need to take more time in the mornings and breakfast instead of throwing something into my mouth on the way to work. For this I need to buy milk…

Going OK. Breakfasting means that I will be hungry for the rest of the day though. But since that feels like I am getting thinner, it actually helps. Weird.
Here’s a spontaneous decision! I’ve had a box of Special K for awhile now. I just ate my first bowl and it wasn’t half bad. I think I’ll give the Special K diet a try. I mean, yeah, Ive read stuff about getting sick of cereal and yadda yadda… but seriously, what do I have to lose? After all, I do have an entire box of Special K to kill.
I brought some Special K yesterday I’m going to start this Monday and do it for 2 weeks! Wish me luck!
I stuck to the 2 bowls (breakfast and lunch) for the 2 weeks and to be honest i didnt really feel much of a change. I didnt lose weight, but didnt put any on either. The 2 bowls filled me up so i didnt snack much, i had my normal dinner and exercised at the same time but i didnt see the results i’d been expecting :( Maybe i’ll try it again..
I lost about 5 pounds the first two weeks, was able to do this for a couple of months, gained a few, lost some…It’s sort of hard to stick to at first, but if you do breakfast) cereal, lunch) cereal [add a snack and/or a drink of some sort during the day], and dinner) light and sensible, you will find that you actually DO lose weight. I didn’t do any extra exercise, either, I just went for a walk sometimes. I eat much more regularly now, but I have been able to keep off 10 pounds, which I lost because of the Special K challenge, with no additional, continued effort!
