Author: 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 are short term diets in which people are to lose a lot of weight, and are popular because of their claims of great weight loss. Fad diets generally include some super food, like the cookie in the cookie diet, with miraculous weight loss properties. These diets rely on slick pitches that make it seem silly not to buy and try the diet. 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. People on the diet ate only 800 calories a day. The cookie diet exploded to 24 clinics around the world. By the 80’s 200 doctors were pushing the cookie diet. It was at this time that shakes and soups were added to the mix, these also containing the amino acids that 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? This type of fasting is explained in great detail in the book Eat Stop Eat.
Later Hollywood grabbed the cookie diet. The diet benefited from the media efforts of all the stars who tried it to lose weight. This newer version of the diet included four cookies and a dinner. These cookies each contain 150 calories and fiber, protein and minerals.
Do yourself a favor – avoid the cookie diet. Remember that good health comes from a balanced diet and an exercise program. Even if the star of your favorite movie claims to love them, avoid so called miracle weight loss foods.
