A doctor recommends eating cookies for Weight Loss.

Have you seen this latest diet fad?

I was minding my own business last Thursday, surfing the internet as usual :) when I come across the headline that said a doctor was recommending actually eating cookies to lose weight.

I couldn’t believe what I was reading, so I had to investigate more.

Now there is a diet where you can eat some of your favorite foods that I am following until Thanksgiving.

But it doesn’t allow you to eat cookies every day!

Apparently this diet was invented quite some time ago by a doctor, but it made a local morning show out of Arizona.

Of course Yahoo and other news affiliates were quick to jump on the bandwagon for this latest diet fad like they always do.

One news show even promoted it by showing overweight women stuffing themselves with Oreos saying “imagine losing 15 pounds every month while eating cookies.”

Well, with further investigating, it turns out the cookies don’t even taste that great according to the doctor himself!

There are more major problems with the diet.

Watch this video about this diet of eating cookies and see why dietitians call it unhealthy.

And please leave your comments. Are you as sick of these diets as I am? I would love to know.

Have an amazing day.

Please note: My initial video was removed as I received a letter from the law firm representing this company that promotes eating cookies to lose weight threatening legal action.
