The Cookie Diet. Too Good to be True?
Posted by Mindy on February 18th, 2009 at 05:18pm
As a chocolate addict and huge cookie fan, I was intrigued when I first read about The Cookie Diet. Losing weight and eating cookies: What could be better? It has even been rumored to help famous faces lose weight, including Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson and Mandy Moore.
What I didn’t know is that the cookies are special “diet cookies” that are designed to replace meals with cookies that have a smaller calorie count than a typical meal. The diet gets mixed reviews from doctors and dieticians, and after reading more about it, I’m not so sure I’m ready to swap my lunch out long term for a cookie. Sounds like a quick fix. Take a look at this report from ABC news and judge for yourself.

My first reaction to this is that it can’t be healthy. I know they have other diets similar to this like with slim quick where you replace a couple meals a day with those shakes but even with those, I feel like your not getting a lot of vitamins and nutrients you would get from like meat, dairy, or veggies. Even a healthy cookie is probably still filled with sugar. If you are going to diet, I’d say do something like atkins or weight watchers.
Jennifer Hudson is on weight watchers and she looks so good now! She’s lost over 30 pounds so far I think. If you are seriously considering this cookie diet, consult your physician first.
