have you tried the kelloggs cereal diet?

Technically, I think the claim is 10 pounds in TWO weeks.  But that is still a lot.\n\nThe thing is, you're talking about replacing two meals a day with bowls of cereal that run about 200 calories each.  To lose 5 pounds in a week, you'd have to create a calorie deficit of 2500 calories a day - something that would be hard to unless you're pretty big to begin with, or exercising 3 or 4 hours a day.\n\nThe only way somebody of average-to-overweight (but not morbidly obese) size could lose this kind of weight in that time frame would be for them to take off some water weight, too.\n\nBTW, good for you that you have enough sense to recognize when something sounds too good to be true!  Many people don't have half as much sense.

i tried the GM diet which lasts a week-  it's also very hard but it does work to a point.  i lost about 9 pounds.  i will never do it again.  i've been completely shedding pounds by chewing papaya enzyme pills with every meal. they help breakdown the food correclty so not only do you not gain as much weight from the food you eat, you also get hungry less and you have more energy. and i totally stumbled upon these by accident. my freind takes them and he had them in a tin. i thought they were candy- you chew them and they are very sweet. they are in the vitimans and minerals section at most drug stores.

Doing the Atkins diet "reversed" my diabetes.  Medically proven.  However, doctors will still bash it. Read the book and try it for two weeks and become a new you.

You eat one bowl of cereal in place of lunch, and one bowl of cereal for breakfast, and eat a "reasonable" dinner. One thing to remember is that Special K has no fiber so you have to make sure that your dinner has lots of fiber.\n\nSome research done suggests that it does indeed work:\nhttp://www.purdueexponent.org/2002/01/14/campus/special_k.html\n\nNot everybody is sold on this diet, though:\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/life/2002/2002-02-05-jensendiet.htm

Some people may not think it's really healthy, but it works for me. Long before I even heard of Atkins, I've been eating a high protien diet. I finally realized this a few years ago when my sister asked me why I thought my hair & nails grew quicker than hers & why I didn't eat as much or gain weight. The major difference was our diets. I'm not a big eater & never have been and when I do eat I usually want someting filling. I eat a good amount of eggs & meat, some dairy ( not big on ice cream or milk, love cheese, though ), at least 3 veggies/fruits a day. I eat beans, nuts, sweets  here & there. I eat small amounts of most things. Half a candy bar, small piece of pizza, handful of berries......I get full really quickly. Even though I like good bread I eat only a small amount of carbs becuz they fill me up quickly, but I end up being hungry an hour or so later............

I have been on Medifast; Optifast and other like it.  Don't waste your time.  I have been on Atkins, weight watchers, South Beach and taken diet pills.  He is what finally worked for me.  I cut out deserts, bread and pasta.  I eat a lot of salads, chicken, fish and fresh fruits and vegetables.  But, I drink a whole load of water.  To make it tastier, I squeeze fruit into the water.  I found this helps me loose weight and still feel full.  I also do some exercise.  In my opinion, these diets are all full of crap.

When you eat a high fiber diet like Kellogg's Extra Fiber, you will feel less likely to be hungry. Consequently eating at least one cup of the Kellogg's extra fiber, wit say sliced strawberries, blueberries or bananas, will certainly help you not eat as much for lunch, which eating fresh fruit would also help.If you did this for 2 weeks and utilized walking 3-4 days/week, you could possibly lose a size  in your jeans in 2 weeks.

Definitely.\n\nThe difficulties that most people have reported with it are due to a lack of undestanding of the diet. People focus more on a list of foods thay can or can't have and don't pay enough attention to the why of it.\n\nOn the atkins diet you can have potato chips and chocolate cake... the thing is that you have to understand how they affect your body, and how much you can have. Your body may tolerate these foods well, so you can have a lot, or your body may react strongly to these so that you can never have more than a little.\n\nA lot of people say you can only have protein on this diet... But this is really a CARBOHYDRATE restriction... on the most severe form of the diet, you are limited to 2 cups of vegetables, or 3 cups of salad greens a day. How many people get this many vegetables on their current diet? Almost none! What these people are really frustrated about is that if they stop eating bread and potato chips and rice and candy bars, they don't know what to eat. They don't WANT the vegetables. Add on that most people who need to diet are eating too many calories a day and you get a lot of frustrated people. The foods that are the ones with no limit are the proteins some people complain about getting to much of. If you don't want that much protein, eat less! With the vegetable guidelines and a reasonable portion of eggs, cheese and meat, it is easy to maintain the recommended 2000 calorie diet without eating an excessive amount of protein.\n\nAdditionally, many people have what could almost be considered an addiction to carbohydrates that convert to sugar quickly in the bloodstream, which creates a self control challenge some people can't handle. These are the people that always complain that they miss bread, and that this diet is so hard.\n\nThe thing people need to really understand in order to make the Atkins diet work, is that the induction diet is the most restricted part, but after you have started your weight loss, you gradually increase your carbohydrate intake until you reach a balance. Someone who lost 30 pounds and then gained it all back didn't follow the diet, if they had, when they started gaining weight they would have adjusted their carbohydrate intake to begin losing weight again.\n\nIf you change your diet habits and lose weight, then consider yourself "fixed" and start eating like you did before... you will gain weight back. That should be common sense. If you are overweight and want to lose weight you have to change your diet forever, not just until the weight is gone. This is true of EVERY diet, not just Atkins.

Sounds like you are doing really good, but what kind of bread and cereal do you eat? make sure its whole grain, because the white kind isnt good for you.

Try cutting out various elements of the diet.  One day have what you listed but no juice...do that for a week.  If the problem continues, put the juice back and take out the cereal...by a process of elimination you will find the cause...;

It does but you can gain the weight back quickly once you start. My sister lost about 60 pounds in 2 months. Then got pregnant and you know the rest.  I did it a few years back and lost some weight.  But I went back to my old eating habits.  The Mayo Clinic Diet is similar to the Atkins.  Its worth a shot, especially if your severely overweight.

I have been on Atkins for over 2 years now. Totally love this way of eating. It isn't a diet however but one must decide before embarqing on this journey if they wish to stop their yo-yoing and finally find a solution to being over weight. It is possible you know but only if you read the book and decide this is a forever way of eating.\n\nIf you read his book you will suddenly realize how much sense he makes. It really works and it isn't boring.  I lost 50 pounds and have kept it off with ease and love the fact that I can go to my closet and get anything out of it and know it will fit. \n\nPlease do not start this without reading the book. It's not just about High protein and cutting out carbs. The induction is the strictest of the time of limiting foods. If you plan on going on this then going off once you lose you weight don't bother. You will gain it back.  But this can be said for all plans to lose weight.\n\nCheck out this website if you do plan on going on Low Carb regardless of which plan you choose.  \n\nhttp://www.lowcarbfriends.com  This site has been a godsend for me and my husband who by the way lost 80 and has kept it off. And we eat. If you just knew how much we eat you would  be shocked. No limiting portions, no worry about low fat tasteless foods, but just not eating high carb items. \n\nDo know however that all foods have carbs except meat. It about the high content of the carbs and how it affects the blood sugar.  Remember naturally white foods are ones to watch, potato's, rice, sugar, white flour etc. These are horribly high carb items plus corn (not a vege but a grain)

Nope - it's just a coincidence.\n\nAnd, before you ask, Coco Crisp has nothing to do with breakfast cereals, and Milton Bradley is no relation to the board game company.

Yes it does work. If you look at the plan it is designed like the atkins and south beach diet it makes it simple. I found for myself it still wasen't simple enough. if you want a dummy proof plan that will save you money ot the end go to this link.
