A Bad Day or Two is Fairly Harmless

Don't expect perfection as you work towards your goal of a healthy and fit lifestyle.  Truth is, anyone trying to lose weight and get healthy is going to experience some off days so you may as well expect them and accept them.

It takes about 3,500 calories to gain a pound of weight, so an occasional slip in your R&D Diet Cookie weight loss program won't completely wipe out your efforts.  The bigger issue is an inability to cope with the slips.

Here are a few tips that may make those tough times a little easier:

• Let go of perfectionist thinking.  Accept that you may have a bad day and slip with your fitness and diet plan once in a while. 
• When you feel that your goals are just taking too much time, stop and think clearly about your healthiest options at that moment. And remember "Slips Happen".
• Write out a plan on how you are going to get yourself back on track. 
• Do something positive.  Go for a walk or get some other form of exercise, or eat something healthier than you had planned.

A bad day or two is fairly harmless.  Just do whatever it takes to get back on track.  And if it will make you feel better, plan the next day to include foods that are lower in carbs to make up for the slip.  And remember, here at R&D Diet Cookie we cherish your business and support you in a healthy lifestyle change.

Cookie Diet - Is It a Fad?

As a scientist and I can tell you that many studies can be interpreted in multiple ways.  You can usually find an expert who will agree with every imaginable side of a topic… and that doesn’t only apply to weight loss.

Here is my belief… fast weight loss is better than slow.  People do better if they bite the bullet and get down to a weight they desire and then try to maintain it.  It's a myth that if you lose weight slowly you do better in the long run.  Scientific studies do not support that!  For some, yes, but there is a large portion of us who will not stick to a weight loss program if we don't see results quickly.

So called "experts" will tell you that, "Very low calorie diets are usually not sustainable and people usually gain the weight back when they go off the diet and return to old habits."

That’s where the R&D Diet Cookie  weight loss program is different.  It’s not like other very low calorie diets!  It IS sustainable because you are not starving yourself.  The cookies keep you feeling satisfied and full and you don’t crave foods.  Also, you won’t go back to the way you were eating before.  Being on the  R&D Diet Cookies teaches you how to eat better, make better choices, and eat less.  You can use the cookies to ‘wean’ yourself off the diet so you stay in control and do not gain the weight back.

So, the best way to lose weight is QUICKLY by:

1. Replacing 2 meals with the R&D Diet Cookies (also all snacks)
2. Eating a low calorie, sensible, balanced dinner
3. Don’t ever go hungry!  Eat a few more cookies on the days you need to

Once you’ve lost the weight, start cutting back on the cookies and start eating other regular foods like yogurt, fruit or anything else ‘healthy’.  I always recommend you start the day with the R&D Diet Cookies.  It helps you maintain control and make better choices throughout the day.

Study: Quick Weight Loss Yields Lasting Results

R&D Diet Cookie has always promoted quick weight loss.  Here is another study that supports our beliefs:

A study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Medicine suggests that, for obese patients in the initial stages of weight loss, shedding pounds quickly may actually be key to keeping them off.

Researchers at the University of Florida analyzed weight loss information for 262 obese women.

They found that, women who had initially dropped weight most quickly tended to shed more weight overall and maintain the weight loss longer than those who had a more gradual start. Researchers noted that women who had dropped weight more quickly were no more likely to regain that weight than those whose pace had been more moderate.

In the year after the six-month intervention phase, only 17% of women in the slow group had reached their goal, while 36% in the moderate group and 51% in the fast group reached their goals.

The authors sum up:

"... Losing weight at a fast initial rate leads to great short-term weight reduction, does not result in increased susceptibility to weight regain, and is associated with larger weight losses and overall long-term success in weight management."

You Don't Have To Exercise For Weight Loss

The best way to lose weight is by reducing your calories.  The easiest way to safely reduce your calories is by using R&D Diet Cookies.  I think everyone who has tried them can tell you that they are very good at what they are designed to do… eliminate hunger and cravings so that you can stay on a low calorie diet.

I would not bother with exercise while you are trying to lose weight.  Too many changes can be detrimental and if you give up on exercising you may be tempted to give up on your diet too.  Exercising will not increase or speed up your weight loss.  It may actually slow it down because you may be “working up an appetite” by exercising and end up eating more to compensate without even realizing it.  You burn very little calories when you exercise so you can easily compensate by eating a little more.

There is plenty of time to exercise after you lose the weight you want to lose.

Four Common Weight Loss Myths

We are on the R&D Diet Cookie program in order to lose weight once and for all!
Here are 4 common weight loss myths that may actually ruin our efforts to shed pounds:

1. Cardio burns more fat than strenght training.   
2. Certain exercises can cause spot reduction.    
3. Do not eat after 7:00 pm    
4. Do not eat in between meals.

R&D Diet Cookie: Much Better Than Diet Meds!

I urge you to use the R&D Diet Cookie for safe, fast weight loss...

In the constant desire to achieve a lean body, many individuals choose to go to the extreme end of the road. Quick fat loss methods are being propagated with the use of medication and supplements. But are you really aware how safe are these? It is time that you stop and think about your body before taking such medication and supplements. There are many misleading advertisements of “safe” and “clinically proven” doing the rounds of the weight loss circuit. But this could cause grave side effects when taken indiscriminately. Two of such medication and supplements that may pose severe health risks are Advantra Z and Xenadrin EFX!

Continue reading about studies and side effects...

There was a study conducted by the University of California San Francisco, using these medication and supplements.  Basically, what they found was that both Advantra Z and Xenadrin resulted in an increase in the heart rate very similar to the side effects that were noticed while using the banned ephedra medication and supplements.

In 2004, FDA had banned ephedra due to its adverse side effects. However UCSF studies reveal that the ephedra-free medications and supplements that are being sold are nothing better. These supplements are equally hazardous to health and could lead to grave problems. People having health concerns like heart ailments or hypertension, should completely avoid these 2 supplements! It might result in worsening their condition.

R&D Diet Cookie will never recommend the use of any medication or supplement to lose weight.  You don’t have to use drugs because the R&D Diet Cookie is a natural food that completely eliminates hunger and cravings so that you can stay on your diet and lose weight.



Three 'Healthy' Foods That Really Aren't!

You may not spend your days eating pizza and burgers but there are many foods that sound healthy, maybe even diet-friendly, but when you look closely at them, they are the total opposite.

1. Muffins - A muffin is basically a giant cupcake minus the frosting.  Even bran muffins sound healthy but are often full of refined sugar and white flour.

2.  Nutrition Bars - Many of the popular brands of nutrition bars are high in saturated fat, refined sugar, and hydrogenated oils.  Some of them even contain the calorie equivalent of a candy bar!

A better option would be an R&D Diet Cookie:  High in protein, fiber, and whole grains while low in fat and calories.  Plus you get the added benefit of satiety with the cookies – keep you feeling fuller longer.

3.  Commercial Smoothies - Some of the commercial smoothies use full fat yogurt, ice cream, fruit drinks, syrups, and lots of sugar!  cound on 500 plus calories.
