Following up on my thoughts about eating issues , I was noticing the diet plan on a box of Special K cereal this morning: Lose Six Pounds in Two Weeks!
3 pounds a week, for realz? That's a lot. How do you propose we do this, Special K?
I see, replace two meals with two bowls of special k cereal? Oh well that sounds perfectly...
Wait, WHAT? You seriously want me to eat two bowls of cereal instead of real meals? You want me to nosh on your tiny little granola bars and slash my caloric intake to sub-par metabolic levels just so I can shout "It worked!" over the phone to my passive-aggressive girlfriends while trying to hold back tears of deprivation, tears which will later come pouring out under the pressure of real nutritional needs propelling me into a starvation-mode binge attack as I continue a cycle of yo-yo dieting and unhealthy deprivation?
I'm not the first to notice how lame this Special K diet is. It simply does not follow healthy guidelines, and as such is nothing more than an exploitation of insecurities.
Seriously, f*** you, Special K.
What's a serving size anyway? 1/2 a cup? I've been watching carbs lately and the reality of what actually constitutes a serving of cereal is laughable. There's no point even eating cereal if you're on a low sugar/carb restricted diet anyway.
ReplyDeletemy cereal bowl is too big for this diet...and what with the whole milk i prefer over drinking skimmilkwater, uh...i think I'll just shake my booty and call it a night.
