The Cookie Diet..another fad? January 25, 2008

So once again i am kinda late with the whole fad thing but this particular diet caught my eye. It made me think….cookie…diet… all in the same sentence you must be kidding me. But hey based on some reviews i read about this diet, people have actually loss some weight. Now have they kept it off??? i guess we’ll never know. The  2 brands that i notice are the Dr Siegals Cookie Diet and the Hollywood Cookie Diet. Dr. Siegals diet claims that if you eat 6 cookies replacing certain meals…Im guessing breakfast and lunch….then you will lose weight. On the Hollywood Cookie Diet you are supposed to eat 4 cookies a day. 1 in the morning and 3 for lunch and then have a 500 calorie dinner. Well the 4 cookies they require you to eat are 600 calories and the 500 calorie seems like a very low calorie diet. Dangerously low infact. They also want you to exercise and eat other things besides the cookies that are “healthy”. This kinda contradicts itself because the cookies i have been told are appetite suppressing, and if you eat three…i mean you might not ever eat a balanced meal. Plus If you are exercising, that is really not leaving alot of calories left by the end of the day. Reviews have shown that while on these diets you can experience dizziness, fatigue, and basically stuff that you feel when you are depriving yourself of food…I am still kinda leery about this diet but i am very curious. I want to try it but then again i dont….Well i guess ima see. Plus me being 16 i could care less if i kept the weight off permanently,if i gani it back well back to my old hustle. I lost 8 lbs last year the old fashion way. Simple healthy diet and exercise but i am telling you its hard. It gets  boring at times too. And me not being old enough to go to the gym myself…forget about it. Plus i just started using the treadmill but it makes me dizzy. Ya well enough about me and more about the cookie diet. Ima look into it and maybe try it for a month.
