The plan itself is simple. For two meals a day, eat a 1 cup serving of the cereal with fruit. You can eat any of the cereals within the Special K line from Kellogg’s: Special K, Special K Fruit & Yogurt, Special K Low Carb Lifestyle, Special K Red Berries, and Special K Vanilla Almond. You can also have snacks of fruits and vegetables, any beverages, and a normal third meal.

Assuming you follow the diet, you can certainly lose weight in two weeks. Reducing 2/3 of your meals to low calorie cereal and fat free milk will almost certainly cut down your calorie intake enough to make you lose weight. Of course, this will only happen if your snacks and third meal are healthy enough and small enough to keep the calories down. But no one we know could stand to do this diet for more than three days, let alone two weeks to see if you can losr 6 pounds. A bowl of cereal twice a day is just not interesting. Testers following the Special K diet plan said they were ravenous, not from real hunger, but a need for variety of flavor and texture from food.

If you’re struggling with your weight, and need to find some way to reduce the number of calories you eat, here’s a tip. Let’s say you tend to eat a big, high fat lunch at the office because it’s easy. Use the idea of the Special K diet plan to help yourself out. Replace that lunch with a bowl of the cereal and milk. Add a filling piece of fruit like an apple or banana. Try it for a few days, or twice a week for a month. Anything more often is going to make you crazy and more likely to overeat bad foods when you’re not eating cereal.
