"Special K Diet"

The "Special K Diet" is nothing more than a marketing campaign by Kellogs food company in order to extol the healthful virtues of its fortified bran cereal. The diet works as follows: eat two bowls of Special K cereal and a regular dinner meal and you will lose up to 2-3 pounds per week . This is a simple, decreased calorie diet. By following a regimen of decreased calorie consumption, any food specific diet will work. Special K is one of the healthier cereals out there and an excellent choice as a breakfast meal, but focusing on it in such a narrow manner is not sustainable in the long-term.

With so many weight loss options available, it's hard to know what to do. The reality of popular diet products and programs is that few work in the long term because they don't focus on the sustainable strategies of balanced nutrition, exercise and personal motivation. But don't be discouraged, there are good plans out there that can help you achieve your goals with or without Special K cereal.
