Four popular “cookie diets” are the latest quick-fix weight-loss fads. Followers eat special cookies about six times a day, and sometimes an additional “normal” meal of low-fat foods, for less than 1,000 calories total per day.
Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet has been endorsed by Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson. The treats contain protein, amino acids for appetite control, and cellulose for satiety. The plan includes a daily multivitamin.
Smart for Life not only sells cookie kits, but other prepared foods. The Hollywood Cookie Diet serves up a proprietary mix of protein and fiber for sustained energy. The Soypal Cookie Diet, which originates in Japan, mixes in soy pulp to keep people fuller longer.
In the case of fad diets, long-term health and wellness goals take a backseat to the pursuit of a beauty ideal. Cookie diet followers want results, and they want ’em fast, with minimum of effort or thought in regard to calorie counting, meal planning, shopping and exercise.
