Not even kidding, here.
The "Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet" is the hottest insane diet plan since Atkins. Apparently all you do is drop about $50 on cookies (the nutritional value of which isn't completely known) and eat only those cookies, water, plus one small meal and voila! 40 pounds lighter!
I mean, traditionally when you think "weightloss" or even "diet", "cookies" are not the first thing that jumps to one's mind, unless its "Damn, I wish I could eat a cookie right now. But I CAN'T. Because its a F-CKING COOKIE and im on a DIET."
The popularity makes sense, though. A new diet giving you the green light for a forbidden food? What's not to love?
Well, other than the texture, the cost, the fact that you don't know what's in it, the disapproval of most accredited doctors and nutritionists and the fact that you're LIVING OFF OF COOKIES.
There are other "smart cookie" brands out there. One of them, Soypal, is based on "okara, or soy pulp, which absorbs any liquids you drink with the cookies." Delicious! And the website recommends you drink two glasses of water or another beverage with each cookie, because all these little treats are really supposed to do is trick your body into thinking you've eaten.
Which sounds totally healthy to me. Right, guys?
Just remember: Cookies are still a "Sometimes Food", and nutrition is really hip!
You sure it doesn't work? ...cause it sounds tasty.
