Constant Dieter: The Cookie Diet
partner
[Ed. note -- Now that you've met Nicole, the Constant Dieter, dig in as she shares insights and experiences with the diets we all want to try but haven't dug into just yet. Remember this story on how Madonna's hubs was impacted by the Cookie Diet? Now Nicole's trying it out for herself to see if this diet crumbles or caters to her sweet tooth.]
So remember I was dreaming of the
ideal diet ? I really love the idea of a diet where I could eat
all the things I love and still lose weight.
Well, recently there's been hype about a diet called the
Cookie
Diet a diet of cookies that are meal replacements. I was
interested in trying it, but when I went to the website, I have to
say I wasn't impressed by Dr. Segal. He's a little creepy
looking! He just seems sketchy. But I went as far as ordering the
how-to guide which was sent to my email, but it doesn't really say
what's in these magical cookies. It says they're natural, but we
all know that that can be loosely defined. But the pictures yum!
They actually look delicious. The skeptic in me just can't believe
these can help you diet and actually taste good. It just seems
impossible!
But I think I'll go ahead and order some just so I can let you
know how they are...Stay tuned!

I did the cookie diet through Smart for Life. The cookies were pretty good! It gets you down to only 800 calories a day though, so it's def. not for the faint of heart. I lost about 10 pounds in a month. I don't like it though because you can't work out. You're so starved that you are exhausted. I wanted to work out anyway, and they strongly discouraged me, so I didn't. It was doctor monitored though, so that was nice. Anyway, I don't regret doing it, but it didn't work as well on me as on other people there. I only had 15 pounds to lose though, so I think if you're needing to lose a bunch of weight it works better.
