Are you ready for a diet that will bowl you over? It is just that special -- Special K, that is.

The marketing brains behind Kellogg cereal have fashioned the Special K Challenge where people on a diet stand to lose 6 pounds in two weeks by simply integrating the breakfast cereal into their daily meal plan. Within two weeks, it is possible to see results, according to their studies. It makes sense that just about anyone can lose weight on this program when replacing high-fat, high-calorie meals with low-calorie cereal.

Following the Special K diet is nothing if not easy. For breakfast, dieters eat a single serving of Special K (110 calories) with 2/3 cup skim milk and fruit. Lunch or dinner is also milk, cereal, and fruit.

The dieter consumes whatever they want for the third meal a day. Fresh fruit, veggies or a Special K Bar are the snacks which are recommended. There are no limitations regarding what can or can't be drank. There is an entire line of great-tasting snacks including Protein Snack Bars, Protein Water, Cereal Bars and Snack Bites to go along with the cereal.

The Special K Web site even offers customized weekly menus based on a person's preferences. By responding to a few questions about likes and dislikes, they create a complimentary meal plan based on their products. For example the menu for Sunday might look something like this:
