Don't replace your meal with special K. It is high in sugar and is made from simple white flour.

If you insist on eating cereal instead of a normal meal then try eating one that reduces its sugars slowly. i.e. less refined and more complex carbohydrate. Dorset muesli for example with nuts and unprocesses grains.

With the simple carbs in special K you will just get an insulin spike and feel hungry soon after.

Generally if you want to lose weight then reduce your carbohydrate and increase green vegetables. So less potatoes, rice, pasta and as much green vegetation as you can manage.

It can work but the danger is to re-gain the weight once you go back to your normal diet.

If you just want to loose a few kilos to get inside a dress why not (but our bodies do not like very much this kind of games :-).

For a healthier diet, change your way of eating by taking out the extra (extra quantity, extra sugar and fat) and add the good ones (fruits, vegetables and exercise). You may not loose weight as quickly but it will last.

Check your BMI kg/m2 (Body Mass Index) ,decide what BMI you want to reach (to be healthier and/or to fell better) and allow you some time to reach it.

And whatever you do (diet, exercise), you have to enjoy it, if not one day or another you will swap to your old habits :-)

If you have a Special K meal you will lose weight because you will have a lower calorie intake. Should work.
