k00kie diet

This one seems dodgy, but who could resist?

Eat six cookies a day (plus a meal) and lose weight.

Linda Hoover said she tried numerous diets without results before stumbling upon the Cookie Diet. She's been eating six cookies a day for about a month and said she's lost 17 pounds.

The diet is 800 calories a day.

I don't care what you eat, if all you eat is 800 calories and you're not, like, 80 pounds to start with, then you're going to lose weight.

But here's the clincher: you spend $250 to get into the program, then buy your daily protein cookies at $7 a pop. Might be worth it to some, but as far as I'm concerned, if you're limiting your daily caloric intake to 800 calories, you're endangering yourself and probably setting yourself up to yo-yo right back into the plus sizes.

I'd love to see someone do a story on one of these diets a year after they stopped.
