This diet works,but you dont have to buy the special k cereal,you can do it with regular corn flakes or any generic brand,breakfast a bowl of cereal with banana,lunch wherever you want,and for dinner another bowl of cereal,and drink water,and u will lose weight.

A few years ago I tried this diet and was successful. I am 4'10 and was 108 pounds and dropped my weight down to 103 in two weeks! I'm trying this diet again because it is summer and I think this is a great way to kick start my goal of staying in shape!
Stick to it and have self control! You must remember that cheating on a diet will do your body no good if you want to cheat yourself! I'm currently 110 and hope to lose 10 pounds in the next few months and tone up!!

I am 15 years old, about 5'11 or so, and weigh about 207 pds... My parents are doing a great plan from a nutritionist and have lost a great amount of weight, but the food has a bit of an aquired taste, and it's really hard for me to eat it all day. I've loved Special K cereal since I was little, so when I went to Walmart today I planned on just getting a box. I saw on the front that you could lose an inch off your waist in 2 weeks, and me, being very unhappy with my weight and figure, wanted to take up on the challenge. I got two boxes of cereal, a box of cereal bars, and some granola (all Special K brand). The only part I dont have is the skim milk. So I plan on starting it tomorrow. Does anyone know any healthy choices I could use for dinner? The meal plan my parents are using recommends as much protein as possible (chicken, eggs, turkey, no red meat). Would that be good for me to have for dinner, or would it make a difference? Any suggestions?

I've spent the past hour reading all of the reveiws from everyone and seems like there are only a few that truly understand this entire concept. To the RN who made the statement about the guy dying..lol...kudos to you!
I've put on about 10 pounds after several years of being my ideal weight thanks to Weight Watchers. In fact, I"m a Lifetime member but I do think the Special K program will jumpstart me again and get me, and keep me motivated to watch my food intake.
I believe if you have a goal, like the girl going to her prom, that helps. Goals are so important! My husband is taking me on a cruise in August to renew our wedding vows so that is my goal! I'm excited to be starting this program tomorrow. tonight I'm heading to the grocery store.....thanks for all the input everyone! will keep you all posted! Happy Memorial Day!

@
Sara, You dont need to lose any weight if your only 130 and 5'8"! Infact your right on target with your BMI, Im a CMA and I wouldnt advise you to go below 126. your BMI should be between 126 - 154 lbs.. You shouldn't even be dieting at 15, your running risk of becoming anorexic at this point if you lose 10 to 12 pounds !!

I took this challenge expecting to lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks at the most, and I lost 7. I ate Special K cereal every single morning, replaced lunch with either a protein shake or meal bar, had 2 special k snacks, and had fruits and veggies. I took long walks almost every single day, and this worked great for me.

I just started the Special K Challenge on Saturday and so far I like it. The last two days were a little rough because I used to eat all day everyday out of sheer boredom. I think that this diet is a good way to jumpstart your weight loss in anyones diet plan. When this challenge is over, I plan on sticking to a low calorie diet. I've been eating the meals that they say to eat for lunch and dinner and it sucks that I don't keep a lot of that stuff on hand so I'm constantly out buying it, but the meals are delicious. I highly reccommend the Jamaican Chicken with Mashed Sweet Potatoes.. It's super yummy! So is the avacado veggie sandwich! Yum!!!

I started the Special K Challenge about a week ago and have nothing bad to say about it! It has been the easiest and most productive diet I have tried in quite some time! The one well proportioned meal has made this diet do-able! I am always full and my cravings for not so great food have decreased SO much! If you are still debating doing this challenge I highly recommend it! The products aren't expensive and it is definitely worth the effort and money! Just give it a shot and see what happens! Make sure to drink lots of water.

I have lost 38-40lbs back in 2009, and for all of 2010 held at a huge plateau! I have gone back to some of my old eating habits, but am still maintaining my weight loss to 142ish...my goal weight when I started losing at 179.5 was 130. I am starting the Special K diet to see if I can kickstart some weightloss again. I am not very hopeful because I eat cereal now in the mornings and healthy salads but nothing seems to be working. I guess the real trick is upping the exercise--I am going to push for 5 hours a week...I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED cause I am definitely interested in seeing if this will work. I am sure everyone else will want a honest review as well. Happy dieting everyone. See you in 2 weeks!

I am not sure if this is a healthy way to lose the weight long term. But I think for 2 weeks it is doable. The problem is, you CANNOT reverse back to your old way of eating (pizza, cheesburgers, etc). See, this is more of a jump start towards your healthy weight loss. And then create a low fat, low calorie and healthy diet to lose the weight long term. Please do not go back to eating the way you were (if you were eating badly and a lot), or you will gain more than just 1 jeans size.

I am starting this "diet" today and will then go on a low calorie healthy diet.

Good luck to me!

I haven't done it with Special K I did it with high fiber/high protien oat meal made with water and a dab of milk for breakfast, and either Fiber One or Shredded Wheat- Wheat'n Bran for my second meal. The fiber and protien helps keep you full longer.

Hi
I am 16 and I started the challenge. I have lost about 5 pounds and my 2 weeks are almost over. I was just wondering do you know what to do when the challenge is over? Do you think it is safe to eat normally again or is there a certain approach to take while getting off it? Thanks
