Has anyone tried this? The commercial claims that if you replace 2 meals with Special K, eat a sensible lunch, you'll lose weight. In conjunction with walking all over campus, anyone think this would work??
Anyone tried this???

Its going to work, because your drastically cutting calories--eating only about 400 for your 2 meals..

It sounds like a good idea, but I'd be careful w/ it. One of my friends basically lived off of Special K & Slim Fast during her 1st yr. in college. She now says that kinda hurt her metabolism, although I think stress might have also been a factor. So if you're predisposed to having a bad metabolism, it might not be the best idea.

Well, this isn't the healthiest advice, but Red Bull is supposed to speed up your metabolism. So, if you have a slow metabolism, I guess you could combine the Special K diet with a few Red Bulls (if you want to lose it quicker and can stand the taste of the drink )...

it seems like a quick fix ,maybe if you need to slim a few lbs for an event or somthing. I get cranky if I don't balance my food well, Sounds like you'd always be hungry, and what's up w/eating the only real meal at night that's the worst time of day to load up maybe reverse that and have the real meal for lunch and the fake ones for b and d? REd bull huh? I've always wondered what it tastes like

I'm going to graduate in the spring and I just want to get rid of my "freshman 15" that I gained over these past 5 years. I hate putting on jeans and needing to go get a new size each year, ya know?
I don't think I can handle the Red Bull, ughhh. I started walking everywhere on campus. I'd walk to school if I could, but I live about 20 miles away, haha.
I don't think my metabolism is that bad, I just got lazy and am out of shape. I want to turn my flab into fab again!!!

fyi, redbull tastes like a sickeningly sweet liquid starburst candy. i cant stand it, but someone into chugging pure sugar syrup might like it.
i have tried the special k diet and it does work because, like bbw mgr said, youre seriously cutting down your daily calories.
BUT you walk around for most of the day ravenous from hunger ... because if youve ever been curious enough to read the side of the box, the serving size is approximately three corn flakes and a spoonful of milk.
its really the same deal as slimfast ... a whole lot of nothing for breakfast, a whole lot of nothing for lunch, and then a regular dinner.
besides, you get REALLY sick of special K after about 3 days.
id rather just eat healthy and sensibly all the time ... id rather eat an apple than a doughnut anyway!!

the only thing that burns fat is exercise, in conjunction with a diet that is sensible, a lot of women and young girls think that if they live off a very small calorie intake they will burn it. ive been there done that so, you only get more hungrier and end up eating more.the best thing to do is have yourself checked out by a dr before starting any weight loss program.
some people are very gullable and believe in these fad diets, which can be very harmful.
personally, having been on both ends on the scale, both very heavy and very thin, i have learned a lot about diet and nutrition.i love food myself, so i took me awhile to learn how to eat properly.i wish anyone good luck with their weight loss.

I am super picky about my weight and I won't state it on here, but I know lots of women would die to be my size (not meaning to sound better than you ). I just am not as toned as I used to be. So I gave up the Special K thing. It lasted 2 days and I was starved, lol!

I saw this commercial a few months ago and thought i'd give it a try. It didn't work. After 3 days of eating nothing but cereal I was starved. I love cereal but not if I have to eat it everyday, especially since I like the sweet kiddie type cereals (eg. froot loops). And it's not like I want to lose weight anyway, i'm perfectly fine with my weight, i just need to lose the gut & thought i'd try an easy way out but exercise is really the only way to tone myself up. Darn, back to the sit ups.

I tried the Special K thing once. I lasted about a week. I was starving!
