Special K Diet Review
This diet can work, assuming that the foods you are eating are not all that healthy to begin with.
For example, if you usually swing by Starbucks on your way to work and grab a grande White Chocolate Mocha (470 calories; 18g fat) and a reduced fat muffin (380 calories; 8g fat) for breakfast and then go to McDonald's for a cheeseburger (300 calories; 12g fat) and a medium fries (380 calories; 20g fat) for lunch, then it's easy to see how switching to Special K can save you a lot of calories.
However, if your diet is already fairly healthy, then you probably won't see much change.
The Special K Diet is certainly easy to understand and follow. It's also easy and doesn't require a lot of cooking or planning, which is great for people that are busy. It could be a good start if you currently eat a pretty unhealthy diet.
However, there's certainly nothing special about Special K products, except for the fact that they are low calorie and get you into a "diet mentality" that causes you to think twice before eating unhealthy treats. In reality, you could do a similar thing with any healthy brand of cereal...and there are several cereals that I would choose over Special K. Special K cereal is low in fat and protein which means that it doesn't leave you full for very long.
If you really like Special K and you are eating a lot of unhealthy foods, then you may want to use this diet to start off a healthy lifestyle. However, if you are already eating healthy, you probably won't notice much of a difference and may want to consider other plans.
