    Confession: I have tried this. My sister lost about 40+ pounds on this before her wedding (yes, she was one of those brides) and loved it. I wanted to shed my winter weight this past spring and since she said it was so easy I tried it. I literally could not get through my work day on it. I couldn't sit in a meeting and concentrate and all I could think about was getting home and having some chicken and vegetables. The cookies taste fine but OMG it was not enough calories to allow me to function during the day.

    I lasted about a week and then sold my leftover stock to my mom and her friend, who both loved them and had success with them. But they are NOT a long-term solution for anything and for me, they were awful. #cookiediet

    Bullshit. They're filled with chinese newspapers and sawdust. If you starve yourself all day but manage to hold off the famine reponse by eating a few of ANYTHING you'll lose weight. It's not a genius diet, it's anorexia. #cookiediet

    This isn't really a new trend. I and fellow cover-to-cover SkyMall readers have known about it for years.

    Poor SkyMall hasn't gotten credit for the cookie diet or the original version of the Snuggie.

    I thought it was bullshit when I read about it on the plane, too.

    Those cookies taste like ass. Spongy, funny-smelling ass.

    And the first batch I got was covered in mold. #cookiediet

    @OnionRings: seriously?

    I thought the cookies tasted pretty good, especially if you microwaved them for 15 seconds. of course, maybe everything tastes good when you are starving:) #cookiediet

    I could probably live on 6 cookies and a small meal a day. The question is whether those around me would survive.

    There would be a lot of "do you have to breath so loud?" and "stop sitting like that" and "I'm going to rip your face off if I don't get some fucking food right this second". #cookiediet

    Yeah, I thought I could make my own cookie-like diet. The special cookies are expensive, so I tried a work around. Something that would keep me full and not vitamin deprived. Yeah. Turns out eating nothing but Fiber One bars is a terrible idea. #cookiediet

    @o-line:
    Heh. I got some Fiber One bars once to satisfy some sugar cravings, assuming one bar would be better than, say, a caramel sundae. They did terrible, terrible things to my digestive system, which I thought was weird because I eat lots of fiber anyway (in the form of real food). Apparently my experience is not uncommon. #cookiediet

    @nom.de.guerre: I used to eat them before Meditation class and I would spend the whole class trying not to fart. Focus on your breathing indeed.

    And I still love Fiber One so much, the chocolate mocha are ridiculoussss. #cookiediet

    Are these cookies delicious? And will they give me the energy for my 18-hour days?

    Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm heading over to Chop't Salads for dinner, anyone want anything? #cookiediet

    Could you live off of six cookies a day, plus a small meal?
    Eh, no.
    Also, tricking your metabolism only works for a while, and changes are only efficient if they are sustained during a prolonged period of time. Which is why diets where you basically starve yourself and eat foods you're otherwise not used to don't work in the long run. #cookiediet
