Cookie Diet – Fad or Real?
February 7, 2010 by Hanna08
In the world of fad diets almost nothing can be more absurd than the cookie diet. In essence this diet claims that amino acids baked into cookies can control hunger.
Fad diets seem to be everywhere these days. In general a fad diet is a diet which is designed to last for short periods of time, during which large amounts of weight can supposedly be lost. Often times, like the cookie diet, these diets rely on one miracle food with amazing properties for weight loss. They are usually sold by a series of wild claims, much like the old pitch men pitched in the traveling medicine shows. Crack the Fat Loss Code on the other hand stands out by promising what it claims, doing so with the use of healthy, nutrition food that actually makes sense!
The cookie diet came about as the result of research into natural foods done for a book in 1975. To maintain the cookie diet people would eat six cookies a day, plus a regular dinner. There were about 500 calories combined in the cookies, and the dinner could be 300 calories in the evening. The cookie diet exploded to 24 clinics around the world. By the 80′s 200 doctors were pushing the cookie diet. The clever doctor came out with soups and shakes that also contained the amino acids needed to control hunger. If you are willing to lower your calorie intake to such an extreme, why not just go on an intermittent fast for 24 hours? Check out Eat Stop Eat to find out more information.
A new version of the cookie diet became popular with Hollywood stars as the Hollywood cookie diet. The diet benefited from the media efforts of all the stars who tried it to lose weight. Like the original cookie diet this Hollywood version replaced breakfast and lunch with cookies, then allowed a reasonable dinner. Each cookie contains approximately 150 calories, loaded with fiber, protein and 13 vitamins and minerals.
Don’t waste time with the cookie diet. Remember that good health comes from a balanced diet and an exercise program. Forget miracle foods even if a star tells you to try them.
shame on u … shame
Stock up as much healthy food as you can in the next few months and try to buy food that doesn't have any high fructose corn syrup in the ingredients. They don't call it “liquid Satan” for nothing, it's really nasty stuff they are putting into our food to make us dumb, fat and lazy. Also, avoid fast food and junk food like the plague. The corporations who make this food are part of the elites wanting us to eat cheap, low nutrition food. If they can make us sick from eating their crap, the easier it is for them to get rid of us.
Happy Friday to all. We at Ansacom believe in a healthy balanced diet that is why staff are having bacon rolls from Zorba this am.
