Hi there. Somewhat newbie here.
I'm just wondering if you think the special K protein shakes actually help keep you fuller for longer?
They are yummy otherwise, but I wonder if they are actually helping or is it my imagination?
Do you guys have any positive / negative experiences with this product or any special K products? This would be very helpful. . .

Thank you!♥

    I only use them after a workout. It fills me up because I am usually not in the mood to eat a full meal after. I like them for that :)

    I think they are good at adding protein..women have a hard time with getting enough protein and I need all the help I can get...I like the idea of drinking one after a workout...

    Sometimes they fill me up. I usually use them as an after workout snack since I always have left over calories. Last year I did lost 10 pounds doing the special K diet.

    I like Special K products, but they tend to have a lot of sugar in them. There are powdered breakfast shakes (I forget what brand) that are sugar free and pretty good.

    No i did not like the taste, would eat a bowl of cereal instead, it didn't make me full. Just wondering if you heard of the protein bar called fuller bars

    Not sure about the shakes but I love the kelloggs K2o protein water. It is seems to be an easy way for me to get my water down, feel full and get some protein too!

    They are very high in calories compared to other protein shakes, 190 calories for 10g of protein if I understand correctly.
    Does it keep you fuller than an equivalent amount of lean meat? Probably not.

    If you are just looking for protein, there are much better shakes, some giving you 3x the protein of the Special K for less calories.

    I personally like to make my own shakes with Soy Protein Powder from Whole Foods (Vanilla flavor), some milk and some fruits. I also toss some ice in there cuz I like mine crunchy lol. :) It's really yummy, and the protein powder gives 24g of protein.

    Don't know anything about special k drinks, but protein and fiber will keep you full better than anything else.

    I usually drink one for breakfast b/t 6-7 in the morning and then I usually get hungry around 11. I really like them especially the milk chocholate one!
