Since I’ve already admitted my undying devotion to cereal and milk, it only makes sense to test out the SPECIAL K DIET. We’ll see how long I can maintain eating cereal twice a day for seven days. Here are the official rules:
Step 1: Start day with a serving of any Special K cereal and 2/3 cup of skim milk, or 2 Special K waffles and 2 tbsp. light syrup. Enjoy either option with fruit.
Step 2: Replace next meal with Special K protein bar or another serving of Special K cereal with 2/3 cup of skim milk and fruit.
Step 3: Dinner as usual.
The snacks they suggest are Special K snack bars and Special K Protein water, but we’ll see if I need the snacks. I’m not a very big person, I think the regular plan will be okay for me. The plan also instructs the Special K dieter to consume beverages, fruits, and vegetables normally.
This is what I bought at the grocery store:
- One box of Special K Fruit and Yogurt
- One carton of fat-free milk
- Four meal replacement bars (chocolate peanut butter, double chocolate, and strawberry)
- 4 frozen entrees. 3 Amy’s vegetarian meals and one Lean Cuisine angel-hair pasta.

Maybe I will look this toned after 7 days.

You know, of all the cereals Special K would be the one that has my special love, but I’m not sure my love is immortal enough to last 14 meals of it a week. Still, I’ll give it a shot.
Great project, by the way! I wish you luck with it.
