No, the Special K diet is not healthy. It claims that if you replace 2 bowls of cereal a day, you will loose the weight. Can you loose weight? Sure. When you eat a low caloric diet with each meal under 300 calories a day, you will loose weight. Does anyone on Special K loose weight? Many say they do even as much as 30lbs but what many don't attest to is the dramatic weight gain once one starts to eat "real" food again. Essentially, one could replace 2 bowls of oatmeal a day and get more nutrition than Special K and if you read the side of the box compared with other cereal, is not healthiest choice of cereals. And really, you can eat Coco Pops 2 times a day and achieve weight loss but this does not make it healthy eating. Dieting is a lifestyle change and attitude toward eating itself. God Bless

It is hard to determine just how "effective" the Special K diet plan is. You can find reviews online of people saying it worked with many people saying it doesn't work as well. The Special K plan is easy to follow, as it requires just 2/3 cup of the Special K with skim milk and a serving of fruit for breakfast and lunch every day. However, it is important to note the Special K diet is stated as short term, potentially losing 6 pounds in two weeks. It is not intended to be a long-term diet plan, as both Special K states and a MD on Web MD. Thus, this plan may be a good thing to try for short-term weight loss to fit into a dress or something but not a long term diet plan.

It depends on the person on the diet. Many people who start the Special K cereal diet cannot stick with the diet and tend to stray. If you stick with the diet it can have beneficial outcomes for you.

You could practically consume a bowl of gummi bears with a centrum multivitamin tablet and end up consuming essentially the same thing.
