Special K

if you eat any cereal for 2 meals a day and then eat only one other time you will lose weight. I don't think that this is something that should really be done long term. By eating only cereal, you are not going to get the nutrients you need to put in your body.
personally, I couldn't eat only cereal for 2 meals a day, I would be soo hungry, and when I am hungry, I get cranky.

well you are supposed to have fruits and veggies for a snake thru out the day. And you are only to do it for 2 weeks to get your self ready to eat right its kinds like a bost of help

I am going to try it for 2 weeks and see what happens

I was doing that for awhile because i had really bad stomach problems (it ate the smart start cereal) and it was the only thing that didnt bother me(I didnt add milk) and I dropped down to 110 lbs. The thing is as soon as you start eating normal again you will gain the weight back (which is the boat I'm in now) Its kinda like the slimfast plan if you think about it you're just substituting foods.

Yep, sorry ladies I must agree with the others.

This is a 'quick fix' diet and will work short term but really how long before you are tired of SPecial K for two meals a day???

You're better off having grains for breakfast (oatmeal, bran muffin, etc) and then a light lunch.

But one thing I will say...I lost the most weight when I was eating constantly of small healthy snacks and a small portioned dinner!! And I was never hungry!! (I'm going back to eating this way on Friday)

I agree..good breakfast, sandwich or salad for lunch, some fruit, cheese and then a portion controlled dinner.

Lots of water.

If you limit yourself to any one food for two meals a day, you will lose (provided that food is not a big mac)

I'm sorry - chips ahoy could start a diet too - replace 2 meals with a cookie, and you would lose weight also - don't bother, just eat healthy, and eat smaller portions, you'll be fine!!!!

Enough said.

I agree w/ all of the girls. It's not very healthy or balanced...even if you add fruit and veggies in the mix. You need more protein then that. Plus you have to go by a simple rule...any diet that promises fast weight loss in a short period of time, is by a rule, not good for you. Dropping weight fast is not good for you period, but neither is having an unbalanced diet. You can replace 2 meals w/ baskin robbins and lose weight, but that's not healthy (although I definitely would if I could...yum). Don't starve your system...eat a balanced portion controlled diet w/ water and work out and you can lose weight in a way that is good for your system.

BTW: Problem w/ diets like that too is that once you start eating normally again...guess what happens? You gain it all back because your body has been nutritionally deprived and starts storing more and slowing your metabolism.

ETA: Also, make sure breakfast is your largest meal of the day and not your smallest one. Wake up earlier if you have to. Don't skip a good breakfast! You don't have to have a stack of pancakes, but cereal w/ a piece of fruit or juice is good...or egg whites YUM!!!

If youre looking for a quick fix, this might work. But for long term, you will prob end up gaining the weight back and then some.
You need to eat protein, not just cereal
