I do not agree at all!! When I was diagnosed diabetes the doctor said that either I loose weight or start getting oral medication (metformin) I decided to join the best diet cookie ever Smart for Life. These cookies are made of complex carbohydrates, protein and fiber. Besides they are 60% organic and do not have preservatives. In the afternoon dinner I did have fresh foods. It’s been more than a year and I still mantain my weight loss. I exercise 5 days a week and PLAN AHEAD what I am going to eat. My blood sugar has stabiilized and I do not take medication. It does not matter if it’s Weight Watchers, Smart for Life , LA Weight Loss if you do not do YOUR part afterwards of course you will get the weight back. What you expect? You go to your old eating habits and no exercise of course you’ll get the weight back. I strongly suggest to do a good research before you write about something you do not know….Smart for Life and Dr. Sasson Moulavi are a blessing!

Great post! I agree with you – the diet doesn’t promote anything long-term. Even though most people like cookies, it’s just not practical, and you couldn’t benefit from all the antioxidants, phytochemicals, and other health benefits from eating fresh foods whole. I could not imagine eating a cookie as my meal 6-8 times a day, EVERY DAY.

When it comes to cookies, I want them chocolatey and fattening! I don’t want to eat cookies for some diet plan, that is just silly!

Couldn’t agree with you more – these kind of diets seldom work (in the medium term)!
