The Special K diet was created by the makers of the Special K product line. Currently, there are four different diets that people can choose from in order to lose weight. The Special K diet, like most diets, encourages people to cut calories in their daily intake of food. But the diet instructs people to consume certain amounts of different Special K products, combined with fruits, vegetables, and other healthy options. The Special K diet promises results based on this. Specifically, it promises people that they will drop one jean size in two weeks.
HOW IT WORKS
The four plans offered are the Classic Plan, Mix It Up Plan, On-the-Go Plan and the Chocolate Lover’s Plan. All of the plans follow a basic pattern: replace 2 meals a day with Special K meals, two Special K snacks per day, one healthy and nutritious meal, and fruits and vegetables as snacks. Special K meals are any of the following: Special K cereal, protein shakes, or protein meal bars.
Special K cereal varieties include low-fat granola, red berries, original, cinnamon pecan, protein plus, chocolatey delight, blueberry, fruit and yogurt, vanilla almond and oats and honey. The protein shakes are available in milk chocolate, strawberry and french vanilla. The protein meal bars are available in chocolate peanut butter, strawberry, double chocolate, chocolatey chip, honey almond and the all-new chocolate caramel flavor. Any two meal combinations plus a standard meal of the person’s choosing constitutes the daily requirement for this diet.
Additionally, people are encouraged to eat two Special K snacks per day, whether it be cereal bars, crackers, chips, fruit crisps, Special K20 Protein Water Mixes, or snack bars. The variety of cereal bars include blueberry, strawberry, peaches and berries, chocolatey drizzle, vanilla crisp, honey nut, chocolatey pretzel, raspberry cheesecake and chocolatey chip cookie. Special K crackers include multi-grain and savory herb, while Special K chips include sea salt and sour cream and onion flavors. The two flavors of fruit crisps are blueberry and strawberry. Snack bar flavors include chocolate delight and chocolate peanut. The Special K20 Water mixes include iced tea, pink lemonade and strawberry kiwi flavors. The Special K diet must also include generous helpings of fruits and vegetables throughout each day to satisfy hunger cravings and provide essential nutrients in the daily diet.
