One of the most ridiculous fad diets ever invented is the cookie diet. This diet is based on a mixture of amino acids baked into a cookie designed to control a patient’s 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. Fad diets generally include some super food, like the cookie in the cookie diet, with miraculous weight loss properties. 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 was created by a physician named Sanford Siegel in 1975 while he was researching a book on the effect of natural foods on hunger. To maintain the cookie diet people would eat six cookies a day, plus a regular dinner. All told the daily caloric intake was about 800 calories. The cookie diet exploded to 24 clinics around the world. It wasn’t long before over 200 doctors were regularly recommending 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? Read this Eat Stop Eat review for more details.
Later Hollywood grabbed the 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. Even if the star of your favorite movie claims to love them, avoid so called miracle weight loss foods.
