R&D Diet Cookie Review http://www.randddietcookie.com

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.

Find out how to take back control of your diet at R&D Diet Cookie. Now there is also a low carb cookie diet for those of us who find that carbs are not our friend!

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 cookie.  Also, 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!

Cookie Dieting Will Become Accepted One Day

It is obvious to me that cookie dieting will become more accepted one day.  It is bound to happen.

Cookie dieting is simple and it is effective.  The cookies take away hunger and cravings so that you are better able to stay on your low calorie diet.  The longer you are able to stay on your diet, the better your chances at reaching your weight loss goals.

There is no need for diet pills or massive amounts of will-power.  Let the cookies eliminate hunger and cravings and half the battle is done!

Tip: Swap a cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables

While on the R&D Diet Cookie Weight Loss Program, for your evening meal, swap that cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables.  You can save from 100-200 calories if you reduce the portion of starch on your plate and increase the amount of vegetables.

The calorie savings is important but it is even more important that the vegetables will promote fat burning while the pasta promotes fat storage and hunger by increasing insulin levels in your blood.

Always have R&D Diet Cookies on hand for a healthy snack.

Having ready-to-eat snacks always on hand sets you up for success. You'll be less likely to go to the drive-through or grab a bag of chips or candy if you have a healthy snack available that will not only curb that hunger but also any associated cravings that go along with it!

Other snacks, even when they sound healthy, may actually promote hunger so it is always safer to reach for an R&D Diet Cookie.

Success Story From An R&D Diet Cookie Customer!

I love sharing GOOD NEWS with all of you!  I received the following email yesterday from a very dear, repeat customer out of Garland, TX.  ...

Thank you so much, Dorothy, for your wonderful cookies!

Thanks to your cookies, I have met my goal of losing 20 lbs by my
69th birthday, which is today. I just made my goal today. I cut it so
close that I didn't think I was going to make it.

I started your Cookie Diet on Memorial Day and now weigh 196.
Can't tell you how happy I am to be under 200. And I have complete
confidence that I will keep on meeting my goals.

I'm a turtle, not a hare. I just keep on keeping on until I get there.
I've hit plateaus and I've taken a few little detours, but I got right
back on the Cookie path. And every day, I ate some cookies,
even when I cheated, because I knew they would help me and,
besides, they're sooo good! The cookies are a good habit now.

I'm setting a new goal of 20 more lbs by November 19. I'll be so
motivated by then, I'm confident that I'll be able to handle the holidays much
better than I ever have.

So glad I found your cookies. They are so much better for me than any of
the other cookies. I'm feeling good - blood pressure is perfect - life is
good on the R&D cookie diet.

Thanks again, Dorothy.A.W., Garland, TX

R&D Diet Cookies Are Several Mini'Meals Eaten During The Day

You try to eat fewer calories each day with the goal of losing weight.  If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. But when you're hungry all the time, eating fewer calories can be challenging.  Usually it is the number 2 reason for failing at your diet (number 1 is cravings).
Experts suggest people eat 4 to 5 mini meals or snacks per day in order to control their appetite and weight.

Your R&D Diet Cookies satisfy this "mini meal" suggestion plus they have the added advantage of being a natural appetite and craving suppresant because of their proprietary ingredients.

Enjoy your cookies as small meals or snacks during the day.  Dinner should be the last time you eat.

How Can You Tell If It's Really Hunger?

Whenever you feel like eating you should look for the physical signs of hunger in order to determine if it really is hunger.  Hunger is your body's way of telling you that you need fuel.  So if you eat for any other reason rather than hunger you won't actually be satisfying your desire to eat and you can end up overeating and taking in too many calories.

Your stomach is only the size of your fist so it takes only 1 or 2 R&D Diet Cookies to fill it comfortably.  Keeping this in mind will help get you more in touch with your feelings of hunger and fullness and will help you learn how to maintain after you lose the weight.

When you're done eating, you should feel better and satisfied -- not stuffed, bloated, or tired.

Diet Tip - Drink Plenty of Calorie-Fre Beverages

You can help keep your daily calories low while you are on the R&D Diet Cookie  weight loss program by drinking plenty of water or other calorie-free beverages.

People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need.

If you don't like plain water, try adding a splash of lemon or other juice, or brew infused teas like peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories.

Diet Tip to Tame a Sweet Tooth

Here's a simple suggestion to cut calories while on the R&D Diet Cookie weight loss program...

After a meal, I tame my sweet tooth by leisurely drinking a cup of hot, fruit-flavored tea sweetened with artificial sweetener (Splenda). 

Who's In Control of Your Life?

It’s your life so you need to decide what you are going to do with it.  If you don’t run your own life, someone else will. 

If you make your own decisions, you are in control of your life.  If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control.  If you control the decision, you control the action.

Take charge of your life so there is no need to ask permission of others.  When you ask permission you are giving someone veto power over your life.

One decision you can take control of is your eating habits.  Don’t let your eating habits control you!  Take control back by using R&D Diet Cookies.

Only you are responsible for your life so take control and start making those decisions.

How to Safely Lose Weight Fast

What's wrong with dropping 20 pounds fast so you can wow your friends and family with a svelte new shape?  They do it on The Biggest Loser all the time.

The truth is that nothing is wrong with losing weight rapidly -- as long you do it the right way, says Michael Dansinger, MD. He's the medical doctor for NBC's The Biggest Loser show, which spotlights quick and dramatic weight loss.

"In theory, one could drop as much as 20 pounds in a week following a very ambitious eating and exercise plan, devoting more than seven hours per week to rigorous exercise, and under a physician's care like we do on the television program," he says.

Most of us can't drop everything to go to a weight loss "boot camp" nor can we exercise seven hours per week (wouldn't if I could).  We can still safely lose 3 or more pounds a week at home with a healthy diet… and the R&D Diet Cookie program is a healthy diet.  The cookies eliminate hunger and cravings so that you can stick to your diet.  Since the cookies curb hunger, you can forget the marathon exercising by lowering the number of calories you eat.

In fact, having a goal like looking great at a wedding or reunion can be a great motivator.  But don't wait until one week before the reunion to try and lose 10 pounds.  You need to plan ahead and allow enough time to make changes to your shape.

Use the R&D Diet Cookies to take care of your hunger so that you can reduce the number of calories you eat and lose weight permanently and quickly.

How to Lose Weight Fast

Losing weight is a simple mathematical formula: You need to burn more calories than you eat. Experts generally recommend creating a deficit of 500 calories per day through a combination of eating fewer calories and increasing physical activity. Over the course of a week, this should yield a loss of about 1-2 pounds of fat.  For most of us this is too slow!

Here at R&D Diet Cookie we believe losing weight faster is a great motivator and if you are otherwise healthy, there is no reason to lose weight slowly.

If you want to lose weight faster, you'll need to eat less and/or exercise more. On this type of plan, you can expect to lose 3-5 pounds the first week, or more if you weigh over 250 pounds.  We don't require (or even recommend) exercising while on the R&D Diet Cookie program because it is simply not necessary and could actually hinder results.  If you must exercise, make sure you are not compensating the calories burned by eating more!

Dieters who follow the plan can lose 2 pounds each week, and even more if they have more to lose, because the more fat you have to lose, the faster it comes off.

You may lose even more weight initially if you limit carbohydrates.  A recent study conducted by R&D Diet Cookie showed that combining the R&D Diet Cookie with a low-carb diet such as Atkins resulted in greater weight loss than simply dieting alone.

Dieting is Best For Fast Weight Loss

When it comes to weight loss, calories count the most.  We recommend around 800 to 1000 calories per day while on the R&D Diet Cookies weight loss program.  Dietitians more typically recommend 1,200 calories as a daily minimum but here at R&D Diet Cookie we think “quicker is better”.  Of course, some days you will simply want more calories and on those days you should!  The number one rule is to never go hungry.

R&D Diet Cookie advocates a diet that minimizes starches, (even healthy whole grains should be controlled), and added sugars. For rapid weight loss, dieters should eat mainly fruits, veggies, egg whites, soy products, skinless poultry breasts, fish, shellfish, nonfat dairy foods, and 95% lean meat.

There are other ways to control calories, such as minimizing total fat, but we believe that tends to be more challenging than his suggested weight loss plan.  Another way is minimizing carbohydrates which actually proved to be the most effective way to lose weight using the R&D Diet Cookies.

Other experts recommend tactics including drinking lots of water, eating plenty of protein, and keeping a food journal.

Eat enough protein to minimize muscle loss and maximize fat loss.  It’s also a good idea to swap out carbs in favor of veggies.

Weighing yourself daily and tracking your food intake can also help you keep focused, experts say.

You Don't Have To Exercise In Order To Lose Weight

R&D Diet Cookie absolutely does NOT believe in exercising for fast weight loss!  Exercise can make you feel good but it won’t actually help you lose more weight.  It could, if you have the will-power to not eat more to compensate for the calories you burned while exercising but that is unlikely to happen.  Your body works at maintaining an equilibrium between the amount of food you eat and your level of activity.  That means, if you eat less it tells you to sit on the couch and watch TV in order to burn less.  If you eat more than you need, it tells you to go do chores (or some other activity) in order to burn some of it off.  It's the same with exercising... if you go to the gym and burn more calories, your body will tell you to eat more!

You have heard the phrase “work up an appetite”.  That is what our bodies are doing when we exercise.  You burn a few calories but your body wants you to replenish them.  The way your body makes you replenish them is by becoming hungry!  You eat more because you are hungry because you exercised!  What a cycle!

So don’t feel bad for not including exercise in your weight loss program. It’s actually better not too!  There is plenty to time (and good reasons) to add exercise to your life after you lose weight.
