The Cookie Diet

The first thing that you should know about the cookie diet is that you aren't really eating cookies. There are a couple of different companies who use the term cookie diet. You have the Hollywood cookie diet, Dr. Sanford Siegal's cookie diet, and Smart for Life's cookie diet. These diets, and others like them, are all similar.

Not Cookies, BUT Fiber

The cookies are a combination of amino acids and fiber. The actual ingredients are shrouded in mystery. These cookies help make you feel full without eating a large number of calories.

With the cookie diet, you eat four to six cookies throughout the day to replace breakfast and lunch, and then you eat a healthy and sensible dinner. It's an extremely low calorie diet, so it is simple to lose weight on.

Short term and Short on Flavor

But is it something that you would like to do long term, and is it healthy? Those two questions are harder to answer. The companies may claim that their cookies are delicious, but there are a limited amount of flavors.

The cookie diet might not be a long-term lifestyle change, but it does have several advantages for people on the go. If you find that you often skip meals or don't have time to eat a healthy breakfast or lunch, you might want to keep some of the cookies around. They are individually wrapped, so it's easy to keep some in your desk at work for the days when you don't have a healthier alternative.
