Cookie diet? That sounds ridiculous.
Don't drink soda. At all. Diet soda included, because it usually has aspartame in it and that stuff gives you brain cancer.
If you drink just one or two sodas a day, stopping will help you so much. Drink plenty of water because it helps to rinse out your insides. (as simply put as possible)

I have tried almost every diet on the market, with very little sucess. I did the cookie diet and it was awful! The cookies taste like poo! Jenny Craig, WeightWatchers, and Nutrisystem cost a lot more than they are worth. The best diet for me was the Atkins diet. I lost a lot of weight, but the lack of bread got to me. Needless to say, it was blown when I sat down and ate a whole loaf of bread....in one sitting! I recently ordered a book, "What to do when all doets fail," or something like that. It is supposed to have a lot of weight loss tips that do not include dieting! The book was about $30. Maybe you can find the accurate title via google.

1. drink lots of water
2. avoid going places that have tempting items
3. tell everyone that youa re dieting and ask them to support you and hold you to it
4. determine your triggers for eating (boredom, bad mood, reward, loneliness, etc.)
5. journal your feelings about food, and track calories
6. dont quit cold turkey....ease into changes in your diet
7. expect a few set backs and forgive yourself


Hope this helps!! :thumbsup:

I do abnominal crunching whenever I remember, eat oatmeal for breakfast, very light lunch (sometimes just a tea with a cookie or muffin), then meat with any type of carbo at supper. I used to weigh 151lbs when I was pregnant and lost 30lbs right away after 2mths. Lots lots of water, veggies and no soda sure you'll lose some weight.

i've heard that tracking every single thing
you eat in a journal is a good weightloss trick.
i'm getting ready to start that, actually!

i think its supposed to motivate you mentally.
when you can go back and really see how
bad or good you've been, it might help.

I think I've done every diet there is too and lost the most weight doing Atkins.
BUT, when I fell off the wagon I gained it all back and more :-(

Anyhoo, I know cutting carbs works for me but I don't have the willpower
right now because of school, I need carbs to feed my brain....lol

The best diet there is, is eating right & working out. I lost 35 in only a couple months. I ate 3 meals a day, light snacks, a lot of water & I went walking/jogging every morning.

So many people want some magic pill to lose weight when all it takes is follow through. You follow through with that, you will lose weight. You can also use 5 lb weights or exercise bands to tone. That's about it.

There is a great free site I use over at Sparkpeople. You can track your food intake and workouts and set your goals. All those fad diets will just make you crash. Eat right, be active, drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep!

Yeah its a speacial cookie that has all the nutritional value ur body needs i think u eat like 4-6 a day and then have a good healthy dinner. I dont drink soda as it is so that really dont help me much. i do drink alot of water. Plus i use a crystal light generic product and that keeps me from other drinks wt calories. :wave:

If your thinking about going on a diet you should try a colon cleanse prior to deiting and while dieting. I know when I did mine I lost 6 pounds alone.
You might want to check with your doctor first though, but it does way more good than just flush your colon out.

The simplest thing that worked for me is diet and exercise. counting calories in the beginning will help a lot I guarantee that you are eating way more than you think you are (or less, which is also bad). Start an exercise regimine you can stick with - try to commit to 20-30 min a day of SOMETHING. Once you start seeing results, all of the above gets easier.
