Special K Diet - hard but worthy

I recently tried the Special K diet. What most people don't realize is that you can eat a lot of different food on this diet. For the first few days I was constantly hungry because I myself did not realize this.

You are allowed to eat dinner as you normally do, and you are also allowed to eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want.

Variety is the key to this diet. Once I started eating salads with no dressing for lunch and snacking on apples and other types of fruit the diet got easier.

Also make sure you check out all the different types of Special K. They have everything from cinnamon, chocolate, blueberry, vanilla.

If you keep switching up what you're eating this diet is definitely bearable.

The protein shakes were my favorite. I liked the chocolate ones - they taste just like chocolate milk and really do cure your hunger.

I would advise you to drink it before you become hungry. I would drink one about an hour or two after lunch and not feel any hunger pangs before dinner.

The honey nut granola bars were another favorite of mine. They are small though so they don't fill you up much which is a downfall.

I would suggest this diet to someone who wanted to lose a few pounds for a certain event. I ended up dropping the pant size as they claim.

The only problem is that this is just a quick fix. After you lose the weight you have to maintain a diet to keep it off.

Do you need a little more help with your weight?
