How much is a recommended portion?
A recommended portion of any Special K is about
30-40g of cereal, served with skimmed, semi-skimmed milk, or a
non-dairy alternative, such as soy or rice milk. If you are on the
Special K 2 week kick-start plan, you can enjoy up
to a 45g serving, which is about 2 large handfuls or 1 average size
coffee mug full of cereal.
The science behind the 2 week kick-start plan
Global research has shown that eating a bowl of
Special K low fat cereal for breakfast and
either lunch OR your evening meal, together with a third
nutritionally balanced meal for a maximum of two weeks, can have a
beneficial effect on body shape and fat percentage. After 2 weeks
up to 3 in 4 people were slimmer!*
During this research the third meal was nutritionally balanced,
following healthy eating principles such as being low in fat and
high in fibre, and containing plenty of vegetables along with a
source of protein such as meat, fish or other protein alternatives.
Snacking on fruits and vegetables during the day was also an
option.
