There is No Such Thing as Cheating


You shouldn’t get down on yourself about the way you eat.  Too many of us obsess over it.  How much?  When?  What?  What about that party? How many fat grams, calories, carbs, etc.  We need to stop this insanity and concentrate on one thing… There is no right way, there is no wrong way, we simply eat. 

Some days you eat a little and it’s all healthy and some days you eat a lot is it’s not all healthy.  The point is that you need to forgive yourself for the days you overeat.  Allowing guilt to creep in will only make it worse.  No matter how much you try, there will always be days that you overeat, or you eat something that you don’t consider “on your diet”.  Don’t beat yourself up over this.  Food is flavors and sometimes you just need that flavor!  Accept the fact that it will happen occasionally and be prepared.  Unless you are superhuman, it is almost impossible to stay away from your high-calorie favorites forever.  I would get depressed if I thought I could never again have my fill of fast food.  That doesn’t mean I have to eat it every day.

It’s not our fault we enjoy good food.  We were not raised grazing on grass in our front yards as children.  We were raised on good food that got even better when we had family gatherings and celebrations.  We associate abundant, rich, high-calorie foods with celebrations, good times, and good feelings.  No wonder we link good feelings with good foods.  If we try to completely eliminate high calorie foods from our diets we feel as if we are punishing ourselves.  This negative feeling will do us more harm than good.

We have to learn to forgive ourselves.  It seems that things we would forgive in others, we can’t forgive in ourselves.  Don’t be hard on yourself because you feel you made a mistake by overeating.  We all have a setback now and then.  Learn to forgive and be patient.  We are all human and we all make mistakes.  That’s what life is about.  It’s a learning experience.  Enjoy the learning process.  We get to start all over and improve a little bit more every single day.

It’s a simple fact that one day of overindulgence will not do much harm.  It won’t even move the scale much.  If you get back in control of your eating the following day then you have nothing to feel guilty about!  It is important, though, to keep your overeating to one day instead of multiple days.   One day can be remedied quickly.  Multiple days of overeating can have more damaging effects to your weight loss goals.  It is common knowledge that you can regain lost weight much more quickly than you lost it in the first place.  That holds true for whichever method you used in order to lose the weight in the first place.  If you lost it slowly or if you lost it quickly, you will regain it just as quickly if you go into multiple days of overeating.

The worst thing you can do after that one day of overindulgence is think, “Oh well, I blew it!  I may as well give up.  I’ll try it again next week, next month, next year.”  Don’t do this.  If you blew it for the day then go ahead and enjoy that day but have a clear plan for what you are going to do the following day.  Plan ahead!  It is going to happen so make sure it doesn’t sneak up on you without you having a plan for the following day!

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to have a plan.  Something that you know you can fall back on after you lose control of your eating.  Sometimes it’s best to have a structured eating plan; one that you can easily go back to after that one day of overindulgence. My favorite plan and method of getting back in control of my eating is cookie dieting.  You should have a plan of your own.  If you know ahead of time what you are going to do after an extravagance then you will be prepared.  Life is full of detours, obstacles and temptations so we need to remain flexible in order to maneuver.

Whatever the temptation, remember that it is not bad to overindulge occasionally.  If it is planned, it could even be beneficial.  Don’t give up.  Go back to your structured plan and eventually you will get to your goal!
Cookie Dieting is a great way to take back control of your eating so that you can lose weight fast.

Combining Diet Plans Works Better Than Individual Plans


R&D Diet Cookie initiated a study last year to evaluate the effectiveness of their diet program compared to (1) a strict low carb program (Atkins™) and (2) a combination of the two programs.  They also compared Weight Watchers® and NutriSystem® diets with and without the additional help of R&D Diet Cookies.

What they found was that it was easier for all dieters to stay on their diets if they used the meal replacement cookieAlso, all the dieters who used the cookies lost more weight.  This may simply be because they were all able to stay on their diets better.

The most profound findings so far were in the dieters who were on Weight Watchers® or NutriSystems®.  The participants on either diet who used the R&D Diet Cookies not only lost more weight but they stayed on their diets until the end of the study.  All participants filled out a “Quality of Life” survey and the dieters who used the R&D Diet Cookies stated that their dieting experience was easier with the use of the cookies.   “It didn’t really surprise me” claims Ms. Palmer, Research Scientist with R&D Diet Cookie.  “The cookies are engineered to eliminate hunger and cravings, therefore, I believe the dieters using the R&D Diet Cookies lost more weight simply because the cookies allowed them to stay on their diet whereas the dieters who went on Weight Watchers or NutriSystem alone were unable to stick to their diet until the end of the study.

We saw similar results with the dieters on Atkins with and without the R&D Diet Cookies.  The dieters using the cookies were able to remain on their diets throughout the course of the study.  It will be interesting to find out if there was a greater weight loss with any particular diet. 

This study suggests that R&D Diet Cookies makes dieting a lot simpler and a lot easier.  You are able to go on any diet you choose… Weight Watchers®, NutriSystem®, Atkins, Jenny Craig®, The Biggest Loser… even the cabbage soup diet!… and if you use the R&D Diet Cookies, you will have better success and lose more weight!
Now, there is available a low carb program.  The Low Carb Cookie Diet is a perfect companion to your low-carb lifestyle and/or weight loss program.

The Biggest Loser = Abuse!


I don’t like the show “The Biggest Loser” and I am more than happy to tell you why.

First, let me say that if you are able to follow the advice and example of The Biggest Loser… if you have the time and fortitude and are able to devote and commit to hours of exercise a day… if you can follow their suggested eating plans… then, by all means do so.  I commend you and I admire you.

That being said… most of us will not keep up with the rigorous exercise regimen that is promoted by the two little Buffy and Jody types who are the trainers on the show.

Yes, we could do it if we are removed from our homes, confined as a group and yelled at daily by our personal trainer for a certain number of weeks.  The super-wealthy call that a Spa or Fat Farm, and they pay megabucks to go there to lose weight and come out looking like a super-model (briefly).  BUT!!!... most of us could not and would not continue it at home.

I don’t like the fact that the show is NOT teaching realistic skills you can use at home in your busy lives.  They are NOT teaching us how to lose weight and keep it off. They are NOT teaching us skills we can use outside “The Biggest Loser” TV set that will help us keep the weight off.  Most people who are overweight will not maintain the hours of daily exercise the show encourages/promotes. 

It is my opinion the Buffy and Jody on this show are abusing overweight people verbally, emotionally, and physically all for the sake of TV ratings and their own pocketbooks.  They are NOT teaching them how to lose weight and keep it off. 

Have I made myself clear? 

If you are able to “eat right and exercise” in order to lose weight then by all means do so.  You don’t need the help of R&D Diet Cookies.  But, if you are like the majority of people who have been on many diets, have lost weight over and over again, have given up on too many diets to count, then please try the R&D Diet Cookie.  The cookies are nutritious, tasty, filling and they keep away hunger and cravings.  And WE know cravings are actually harder to control than hunger.  You can use them as designed to lose weight quickly or you can use them to supplement any diet program you chose.  Nibble on the cookies here and there throughout the day.  The cookies will enable you to stay on your diet so that you can cut calories and lose weight once and for all and stop the insane yo-yo-ing we have all experienced.

R&D Diet Cookie, unlike the show "The Biggest Loser", will teach you how to control your hunger and cravings.  It's a lesson you will be able to use and put in practice for the rest of your life.

Another R&D Diet Cookie Success Story

I received an email today from Sharon Adams in Pittsburgh.  She lost 55 pounds using the R&D Diet Cookie.  She said it took her almost a year but that she wasn't very strict in her efforts.

Sharon is a runner and she was frustrated that running did not cause her to lose weight.  She just kept getting bigger.  After talking with her, we decided that she would start on a low-carb version of our cookie diet.  She still ate 4 to 6 cookies during the day and finished with a low-carb dinner.

Sharon grew up in the 80's so it was difficult to reprogram her thought process to allow her to eat fat.  Once she made the decision she started to see results right away.  She had lost about 20 pounds on a simple low-calorie program using R&D Diet Cookies.  She lost the rest of her weight using the low-carb version of R&D Diet Cookies.

Sharon had set her goal at 155 pounds, but today she has reached 149.5 pounds!  Congratulations Sharon!
