The Cookies

The main focus of the cookie diet - the cookies - are specially made with a certain formulation that helps support your body while you lose weight. There are many online programs that help you determine how many cookies to eat, but the gist of the plan is that you eat cookies exclusively for breakfast and lunch. Your caloric intake through cookies will be around 500 calories.

The Dinner

Besides cookies, you get one choice meal each day which is dinner. Dinner should be around 300 calories, and it's recommended to be comprised of lean protein and steamed or raw vegetables.

Supplementing with Exercise

In the first week or two of the diet, depending on which plan you choose, you will start with 15 minutes of low-intensity exercise. As your body will not be used to the reduced caloric intake, it's important to not go overboard on workouts. As you become accustomed to the diet, more exercise to the tune of 4-5 hours a week is expected.

The Results

Most of the reviews of the cookie diet are positive. As many people put it, you're only eating 800 calories a day if you follow the rules, so it's tough not to lose weight. Many people lose 15 pounds in the first week of the diet, and continue to lose weight as they keep up the strict regiment of food and exercise. This diet requires a heavy dose of self-control, so if you think you have what it takes, give it a try!

Use Caution

For any diet under 1,200 calories per day, you should consult with a dietician for supervision and advice. Also, the cookie diet is lacking in supplying fruit and healthy fat so always use caution when trying to follow a diet that advises cutting out nutrients.
