Why The Cookie Diet Works

yourcookiejar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:23:52 +0000

It’s a sad fact but most diets are prone to failure. Why is this? Well, it’s because we are human! But there are several underlying reasons why most diets fail. One of the biggest reasons is old bad habits. Studies have been conducted and it takes on average 21 days for a person to change a habit. So if you are like me and several other people that skip breakfast in the morning. It would take 21 days of forcing ourselves to eat breakfast each morning before we would be in the habit to eat breakfast, by that time we wouldn’t even think about it – it would be a part of our daily routine.

For many people it is difficult to stick to a diet due to bad habits. We get in a routine of bad habits and it’s very difficult to break that routine. Remember, it takes 21 days to make something a habit. This includes dieting, eating, exercising, etc – EVERYTHING!

Now to stick with something new that may not be the easiest thing (such as dieting) it takes lots of will power and motivation. How long can you stay motivated? A week? Two weeks? 3 weeks/21 days? Most people after starting a diet will deviate from it after a week or two. Thus making it hard to develop it into a good habit.

This is why most of us will fail with our diet – lack of motivation and not giving it enough time to make it a habit.

Now the reason why the cookie diet works – we all love cookies! C’mon I mean who doesn’t like to eat cookies. Why would anyone in their right mind not want to eat cookies and loose weight. The cookie diet makes it easy to stay motivated. It gives you the chance to accomplish your goals (loosing weight) while doing something you like (eating cookies). If you already eat the odd cookie now and then, it will make it that much easier.

Also the ingredients in the cookies for the cookie diet as you know help suppress hunger, so you will have more control over when and what you eat

Cruise & Lose (Appetizer Diet Cookies)

yourcookiejar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:27:41 +0000

Well I just got back from my beautiful 7 day cruise. Boy did I need it. I met a bunch of really nice people, toured a couple of Islands, did some great shopping, and most of all ate some really GOOD food. Here’s the kicker, I actually lost 2 pounds on the cruise. Now it may not sound like much, but when you consider that 95% of the people on the same cruise gained between 3 to 7 pounds during the same 7 days, that 2 pound loss is a major deal. I’ll admit I did go to the gym 1 day on the ship. I planned on going atleast 4 days but it just didnt WORK OUT that way (No Pun Intended). I had 3 boxes of the appetizer diet cookies I had to bring on the ship for friends of mine that ordered cookies but didnt want to wait to get them. One is very over weight. He has never eaten the cookies before and being on the ship eating 2 cookies per day, being around all that food craig still managed to lose 6 pounds with the appetizer diet cookie. If that’s not something to get excited about, the word doesn’t exist. LOL

So if you or someone you know is looking for a diet that isn’t super complex, doesn’t cost an arm & a leg, and really works, visit www.YourCookieJar.com and check it out for yourself. Most people that try the diet LOVE IT.

Appetizer Diet Cookies “Email Testimonial # 2″

“I lost 10 pounds! I actually got off the scale and stepped back on to see if I read the numbers correctly!”

I had to share with you the great results I’ve had with the Appetizer Diet Cookie www.YourCookieJar.com. I started the cookie about 8 days ago. I am consumed with food and the mornings are the worse for me, so I would eat half a cookie before breakfast, half a cookie before lunch and a cookie right before dinner.

I honestly didn’t notice if I was starting to eat less I was simply noticing that I could last longer between my munchie phases.

By the end of the week I was less focused on food, and I realized I was eating much less at mealtimes and not snacking at all.

I finally weighted myself at the end of the week and I had lost 10 pounds! I actually got off the scale and stepped back on to see if I read the numbers correctly.

My chocoholic daughter, Nora, started eating the diet cookies about 4 days ago.

She has one as a mid morning snack and one as an afternoon snack. I took her to lunch as a treat yesterday to her favorite noshery at the mall.

On the way out we passed a little bakery that sells cookies and brownies. I asked if she wanted to stop and get a brownie (her favorite treat) for the afternoon.

I nearly fainted when she said “No mom, I have an appetizer diet cookie in my purse so I’ll eat that!”

Nora has already lost 2 pounds and is looking forward to sharing the appetizer diet cookie with her soccer team.

I’ve included a picture of Nora with the cookies. Her motto for Mom is “Two cookies a day”

Many blessings on this wonderful Diet!

Appetizer Diet Cookies “E-mail Testimonial”

yourcookiejar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:20:34 +0000

When my friend, Mike, told me he had lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks just by eating a cookie every day I wasn’t surprised. We were both using the same Appetizer Diet® Cookie from www.YourCookieJar.com and I’d had great results too. “So, how much have you lost, M.J.” he asked. “7 pounds!” I answered “so far this year.”

Mike laughed and said my scale must be stuck. Then I told him the horrible truth about my diet history. You see, I started dieting at age 6 under a doctor’s supervision. I have lost 50 lbs. five different times using 5 different weight loss programs – from pills to prepared food plans to lo-carb/no carb…only to put it all back on again. I can’t even count the number of times I have starved myself just to take off 15 or 20 lbs. I’ve spent fortunes and risked my health to lose weight and every time it has just come back.

Now I know the truth. Weight loss programs that require you to deny yourself something DO NOT WORK! Sooner or later you will resume your normal eating pattern and that weight you lost will come back. Often you’ll gain even more. It’s a depressing, heartbreaking, dangerous cycle called “yo-yo dieting”

This time it is different and what is so amazing about losing this weight is that it has been consistent weight loss. No ups and downs. For the first time I feel like I am in control and all I do is eat a delicious cookie before my meals. My appetite is satisfied and my body is realizing all the health benefits of extra fiber.

Finally, this is something I can do that’s actually good for my body while it helps me lose weight and maintain the loss. Nothing could be easier.
Oh, and my friend Mike will be glad to know that I just weighed myself again and I’ve lost 3 more lbs. I see a healthier, slimmer me in the future eating Appetizer Diet® Cookies from www.YourCookieJar.com as I shop for smaller clothes.

Well on Nov 2nd I will be going on a 7 day cruise, I can’t wait. 2 cookies a day, keeps the fat away. LOL I’m down 18lbs an 24 days, my girlfriend is down 11lbs. in 14 days, and our friend Pam is down about a pound a day over the last 23 days. We will all be looking and feeling better on our cruise. I’m also really excited about looking great for the holidays. I just can believe how good these cookies work. I’ve still been eating pizza, burgers, and an occasional piece of cake and I’m still losing my weight. This is by far the best diet I’ve ever tried, because I didn’t have to totally give up all the foods I love. If you are considering a diet and have any questions feel free to give me a call.

Appetizer Diet Cookies “Lose Weight Before The Holidays”

yourcookiejar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 04:55:07 +0000

As we all know, in some cases losing weight can be compaired to going up hill in a pair of roller skates.

People go on a diet, off a diet. On a diet, off a diet. To some it may seem as if half their adult live was spent dieting. I’m sure you’ll agree that the most successful diets, seem to be the most restrictive ones. That is exactly what I thought until I was introduced to the “Appetizer Diet Cookie“

Jeff has been over weight since I met him 10 years ago. So when I saw this slimmer frame at the airport, you must know I was not only suprised, but also very curious. After I picked my jaw off the floor, I asked him what he was doing that had worked so well. He said I’m on the “Appetizer Diet Cookie” I laughed and asked again. He looked at me with very serious eyes and repeated I’m on the “Appetizer Diet Cookie” He told me about the diet and said I could find out more info at www.YourCookieJar.com

As crazy as it sounded, I saw the results on Jeff. I went to the site and read up on these cookies. They are actually good for you, vitamins, protein, minerals, fiber, all the good stuff our bodies call for. So I gave it a shot. Let me tell you I figured they would taste like cardboard, like some of the other diet stuff I’ve tasted in the past. Boy was I wrong, They Taste great, my kids even love them. Now I have to hide the cookies from them. LOL

Just eat a cookie 15 to 45 mins. before breakfast, If you’re still hungry Eat some breakfast!

Same for lunch. Then for dinner eat something reasonable.

I was down just about 18 lbs. in the first month. Now for a person like me that has struggled with weight loss in the past that was great. I was able to fit into clothes that were packed away in the garage for years. Since the holidays are coming up, and I know how frustrating it can be carrying around a few, or a few more than a few extra pounds around family and friends, I figured I’d share some of my success. Maybe the “Appetizer Diet Cookie” will help you shed some unwanted weight before the new year.

It’s been 6 months and Jeff is down just shy of 70 lbs. He’s really looking great. He even has a new girlfriend. LOL

I’d love to hear your comments
