Anyone try the Special K challenge? Did it actually work for you? Just curious...

No, but nutritionally I'm confused about the Special K Challenge. This cereal is comprised mainly of white rice, gluten, and high fructose corn syrup. How can a product that is for the most part, sugar possibly be something you'd want to eat for 3 meals a day???? Blows my mind.

I believe the Special K challenge is to eat it for breakfast and lunch, not 3 times a day. I was just wondering, no need to lecture me. Geeze. I do eat right and exercise. I realize that I need to eat more than just cereal.

I do like the Special K red berries, but I couldn't eat it for 2 meals a day for weeks on end.

i agree with you both, even if it did work, you wouldn't be setting yourself with any good eating habits. you would gain the weight right back unless you eat special k the rest of you life. i don't think anyone would want to do that. try adapting a healthy lifestyle, i know it's easier said than done.....buy hey then you would never have to diet again...and you wouldn't have to deprive yourself of anything either. good luck with your goals!
