So, basically the Special K diet consists of eating a bowl of Special K for breakfast, another for lunch and then a normal dinner. In a way it’s kind of like Slim-Fast except with Special K instead of Slim-Fast. There are other options too. You can have their Special K bars or their Special K protein water for snacks if you want. I’ve bought some but I haven’t tried them yet. I’ll let you know what I think about them soon.
After my first few days on the diet I would say that it seems pretty easy to stick to and relatively healthy. I’m not usually super hungry in the morning or even around lunch so I don’t find it hard to just eat the cereal until dinner.
I’ve never really thought about it, but Special K is a pretty awful name for a cereal. I mean it gives you no idea what the cereal is like. There are very few cereals like that. Cookie Crisp makes it pretty obvious what you’re getting, Wheaties let’s you know it’s a wheat based cereal, and at least Cheerios clues you into the O-shaped nature of the cereal. Now that I think of it, I think Special K might be one of the worst cereal names ever, second only to another bullshit Kellogg’s name, “Product 19.” Seriously, Kelloggs, Product 19? That’s where you stopped coming up with names for that cereal? Product 19 sounds like a food additive that was banned for causing cancer. Either that or some kind of chemical compound that causes monkeys to be impervious to pain (hence making them the perfect soldiers) in some crappy movie. “Dear god, Larry. Do you see what they’re feeding these monkeys?… Product 19!” Special K isn’t much better. You might think it’s alright because you’ve grown up with it all your life but if you give it a few seconds thought you’ll realize how crappy a name it is. Special K? Listen, I’m the one eating the cereal, I’ll decide if it’s special or not. I don’t trust a food that refers to itself as special. Ladies, imagine if you were in a bar and a guy interested himself as “Handsome Ron.” Same type of deal. Handsome Ron is either hideous or he’s looking for a throat to slit, there’s no two ways about it.
