Insanity!

The cookie diet leaves me at a loss for words, except for one. Insanity!

Agreed

I agree with everything you said - especially the part about having dessert regularly. I find that when I do that, I don't feel deprived and actually eat healthier. I think the cookie diet is a terrible idea.

Unrealistic diet...like all the others

So what happens when the individual returns to eating normal food...oh wait, I know, they gain it all back with a vengeance. I admit that most diets out there that promote a quick fix can sometimes be convincing on paper and when one is desperate to loose a few pounds, you know, to get you started on the weight loss wagon. But then it all come crashing down and the anxiety and stress from the let down of a promising product kicks in which makes everything worse. It's such a terrible cycle to be in...been there, done that and know better to never to do it again. Thanks for posting this, very important message.

You already know what I think!

It's not just the cookie diet I object to - I'm against any diet that doesn't teach people to handle real food in moderation.

I love food-way too much!

I am so addicted to food and eat emotionally. I always have, and I believe it was passed down to me by my mother who also admits to it. I suffer from depression/anxiety as well as Bulimia since I was 16. This combinaton of addiction to food-eating when my anxiety level is high/I'm depressed is deadly and it's been such a HARD thing for me to overcome. I feel hopeless sometimes. I don't know what to replace my food for...music? yoga? How do you break something you've done for so long?

Thank you for your post! I'm going to start a journal and see if it helps!

vitamins are just

midnightbliss — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:56:47 -0500

vitamins are just supplements, so it is really necessary but for kids vitamin c would help for added resistance to common sickness.

Excellent advice and one of the best things that anyone can do for themselves.

We only had them irregularly as kids

And I think as long as y ou keep the fruit and veggies up, they aren't really necessary.

Oh, but when i was around twelve I had a horrible bout of flu that left me lethargic and boring for a few months. The doctor recommended mum give me DMC Tonic, which is pretty high in iron, but oh-my-goodness it tasted terrible!

sugar salt cycle

lisalawless — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:30:44 -0500

I have the same issue with going from sugar to salt and back to sugar. I usually keep my calories in check, but once in a while I lose track of how much extra stuff I'm consuming. Great reminder to keep the unhealthy stuff out of the house!

Thanks for the tips Cherre...

Catherine Morgan — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 20:15:29 -0500

Thanks for the tips Cherre. I've been doing really good...No sugar in seven days! The real test will be later tonight - because my son is home from college this weekend and he plans on making brownies tonight. I told him that if he leaves them out for me to see, I plan on throwing them right in the trash so I'm not tempted.

You're on the right track!

Conquering sugar addiction is something I tackle with most of my clients. One thing to try is incorporating mildly sweet flavors into your diet to help satisfy your taste for sweet! Try butternut squash and other squashes just coming into season, or end-of-summer corn, cooked carrots, carmelized onions and roasted beets!

Reaching out for support is key in getting healthy. I am hosting a 3 month group class via phone so no one has to do it alone! http://www.findyourbalancehealth.com/2009/09/small-group-wellness-coaching

Not familliar

mashadutoit — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:49:07 -0500

I'm not familiar with the products you mention - I mean I know what they are but not more than that :).

But all sugar, "added" or otherwise is from a plant ingredient - usually cane. People get confused about that, thinking fructose is not as bad as cane sugar.

If its highly refined, as it is bound to be in a fruit juice - it gets absorbed by your body too quickly, and that is where most of the harm lies. Grape juice is particularly bad.

So whether is made from honey or grapes or cane or whatever - too much of it, too refined, not good for you.
