The Cookie Diet

July 21, 2008

I thought I had heard everything, until I heard about The Cookie Diet!  It is supposed to be a low calorie diet based on hunger suppressing meal replacements in the form of a cookie! First of all, there are a number of cookie diets out there that require you to eat from four to six cookies a day.   These cookies are specially formulated cookies and it is the primary source of nutrition while on this diet.  The motivation is to see fast results and those cookies are convenient and easy to grab!  So here is there the cookie diet plan, to consume 6 cookies a day with one meal (dinner) of chicken, fish and vegetables.   Each cookie has 90 calories and the meal you would eat is 300 calories, so do the math, it would be 840 calories per day total.  Think this sounds good?  Maybe for the desperate.

There are warning bells here for The Cookie Diet, in my mind.   One is the fact it is so low in calories.   Our body’s metabolism will shut down if caloric intake falls below 1200 for women and 1500 for men.  Another is the lack of variety of foods.  That variety gives us proper nutrition.  When you leave a food group out, it is a sure sign of an unbalanced food plan.   Another is the fact of wanting to see weight loss fast, well, you guys, you won’t be losing fat.  You body fat will increase on diets such as these in the long run.   Any time you mess with the metabolism, you are asking for long time fixing of the metabolism.  And it is a pain plus you will get a whole lot of frustration in the end.

The Cookie Diet is crazy to me, medically, physically, and even emotionally.  We need food and The Cookie Diet will not give you that ever so basic need.  Sorry, guys, hope you don’t have to be one who has to learn the hard way.   Love You!!
