The Cookie Diet ?

[violetshelby]

Has anyone heard about or tried this diet ? It is called Smart for life: The Cookie diet. It is when you eat special cookies during the day and then a dinner at night.
I really need to lose some weight and my Husband heard about this diet on the radio and thinks it sounds like a great idea. I personally think it sounds crazy , but wanted to hear if any body else has heard of it or tried it ,before I tell him that.
Thank You, Violetshelby

violetshelby -- hey never heard of a cookie diet but what the heck!
sounds kinda like Slimfast?

anyhoo

to the WISH board! we have lots of groups of folks following different eating plans, Weight Watchers, Sparkpeople, etc and maybe some lurking about our board can help you find a plan to help you reach your goals?

OMG!!!!! I can't believe it!! Back in the early/mid 80's, one of the mom's of a student of mine was selling these. Eat a special cookie for breakfast & 1 other meal. Cookies were pretty good, big, but didn't lose a pound. For me it ranked up there with the cabbage soup diet, the orange diet, the 'woman drs diet for women', etc. But, it's 20 years later, maybe it's different!

Anything with the word COOKIE seems worth trying!

Didn't metabolife have some sort of cookie like this?

I think they reported the calories wrong (like by 1/2) and that was why noone lost weight.

Can't quite remember.

The only problem I have with weight loss plans like these, is that it doesn't teach you how to eat for life. Once you get to where you want to be, then what? You haven't been practicing what your supposed to be doing and most people end up gaining it back (heck that's easy to do even when you are practicing what your supposed to be doing).

I'd rather see someone eat normal food to lose weight so when they get to goal they just add a little food back in and do what they have been doing.

Just my opinion though!
