I was wondering if anyone has tried the cookie diet? A lady at work is on it and lost 11# in a week and her husband lost 12#. I have heard of it but never looked into it. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it?

I've seen the commercials.. and my final decision on it was that I got he lap band so I could quit dieting. Lol.

And i just imagine that the cookies will taste like the APEX ones - NASTY!

Same as all the diets I did before....as soon as you eat other things, the weight comes flying back--with extra!!!

I love not dieting anymore!!!

That's funny, I always heard people make fun of the 'cookie diet' and I thought it was a joke.. just making fun of all the crazy diets out there.. then the other day in Publix.. there it was.. the cookie diet. I started laughing right in the middle of the store.

The pictures of the cookies look good, but I'm with Kat.. you could eat nothing but 1 thing for a while and lose weight, but it's not teaching you good habits or helping you maintain.

I had a relatively 'chubby' girl friend in highschool, and over the summer break she became skinny. I asked her what she did, she said she ate a reese cup pack every day and nothing else. 1 cup in the morning, 1 cup at night. She lost about 35lbs in 3 months. Eureka!

You know I did a "Cookie Diet" while I was an au pair in London one summer about 15 years ago. The woman I worked for claimed it was an American craze. Yet none of my family in the States had ever heard of it.

It worked a bit like slimfast in that you replaced 2 meals with a large cookie which was suppose to contain an assortment of Vitamins and minerals. The difference was suppose to be that it actually gave you something to chew and make you feel fuller than just drinking slimfast would. As everyother diet it did seem to work while I was on it but once I was off the old habits came back and I regained it.

I was shocked when I saw them advertising them recently. No idea if it is the same company but must be same concept. The ones I had years ago actually tasted pretty good. They had everything from chocolate, oatmeal raisin to a pretty good lemony cake cookie and if I remember correctly a carrot cake one too. Before you ate them you also were suppose to drink 2 large glasses of Water to help the cookie swell in your stomach to make you feel full. Post band I wouldn't reccomend that part.

I know the band is suppose to help us put diet's behind us but I wouldn't be above trying it again to knock off some of these last stubborn pounds it the hope that the band would stop the regain. Though I'm not sure if the Cookies might not be too hard to eat without getting stuck.

Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing. Knock off a few # during a plateau. I don't know about the water thing either though... I do the protien shakes still but sometimes still feel hungry.

My mom told me she knows a lady who lost a ton of weight on it. Maybe I will try it for a week or 2, because I cant see myself eating just cookies for longer then that!!

We have something similar here. Limits biscuits. The idea is you replace 2 meals a day with between 2-4 biscuits (cookies). If you get the chocolate ones, then its 2,if you get the savory, then its 3 or 4. I just think that so isn't enough to fill my tummy!
