All Aboard the Cookie Diet?

Want to get people to go on your diet? Dr. Siegal has brilliantly invented a diet that everyone and their mommas will want to go on just on the name alone. The Cookie Diet is all about eating cookies and losing weight. You might be thinking, "What's the catch?" Well, my little cookie monsters, you have to eat Dr. Siegal's nasty ass cookies.

When you undergo the cookie diet, you eat six of Dr. Siegal's special cookies (see: ewww) that are meant to suppress your appetite throughout the day. Then you follow a very low caloric diet and by low, we mean 800 calories-low.

In fact, the cookie diet is the opposite of what it sounds like. It sounds like fun. It sounds like cookies galore, but in reality the cookies do not taste good and they expand in your stomach to control hunger.

Moreover, these cookies will run you about $70 per week. And, while most experts agree that the diet will work, the low-caloric intake will slow your metabolism which increases the chances of gaining back the weight once you go off the diet. In conclusion, Cookie Monster would not approve.
