The Special K diet.

Someone I know came to me asking my opinion on the 'Special K diet'.

I didn't have a clue what it was. What came next scared me..

"For breakfast and lunch you eat a bowl of special K with a cup of skim milk and have a regular dinner". This is around 200cals per meal. So up until 5-6 or whenever you eat dinner, all you have had to eat is 400cals.

No shit your going to loose weight during something like this. You would also have to be half retarded to try it. Low protein, no fat and a much of processed carbs. Even if you are a nice balanced meal for dinner, lets say, chicken breast, spinach salad with veggies in it covered in olive oil, and maybe some brown rice, you may still be under 1000cals for a day.

More the half of the weight you are going to loose will be muscle. More or less meaning, your going to look the exact same after dropping 5-10lbs on this diet. You will be a smaller version of yourself now.

Workout and eat correctly? Nah to hard. I got a diet for you people.

Breakfast: Lettuce and a cucumber.
Lunch: More lettuce and a diet coke.
Dinner: A dill pickle and some celery.
Pre-bed: 1 peanut (didn't you know about healthy fats??)

Holy crap, my plan has less then 3% of the calories of the Special K diet.. I'm writing a book.

Frank,

With a quote like this, it's easy to tell that A) You're Canadian, and B) You have a wicked sense of humor when it comes to nutrition....
