I’m serious! That’s what I saw on the side of the package on this ‘All New Celebrity Endorsed’, “Cookie Diet”.

All these years I’ve coached clients and seminar participants on the benefits of supportive eating and proper nutrition for optimal fat lose and the real secret is in the cookies!

Apparently this has been a secret of the Hollywood stars for years, but is now available to rest of us.

So, here’s the scoop on this weight loss superstar!

The box recommends 4 cookies per day.

“Eat 1 cookie for Breakfast, 1 for a Mid-Morning snack, 1 for Lunch and 1 for a Mid-Afternoon Snack and a “Sensible” Dinner.

(I love when marketers use the word ‘sensible’, because this whole cookie diet makes NO SENSE!)

Note – If you remember, the old “Slim Fast shake commercials, their claim had the same wording. “Drink a Slim Fast shake for breakfast, another one for lunch and a “sensible” dinner.”

Now, for the let down…

I’m sorry to say that yes, this product is a bunch of crap!

Will you lose weight?

You sure will, but it’s not the weight you want to lose. Most of us want to lose fat in order to gain that toned sexy look, right?

If you use this diet for that purpose, you will ultimately fail to achieve your goal, fail to get into the dress size you desire and fail to build self-confidence.

Why?

This approach is considered a calorie restrictive diet. In short, the fewer calories you take in the less energy your body has to use for proper daily functioning.

Your vital systems, including your digestive system, cardiovascular system, which governs the daily functions of blood flow, heart and lung activity, are compromised due to the lack of proper nutrition.

All these organs and systems work without you consciously thinking about them, but they still need energy to operate… They need Calories!

Excessively restricting your caloric intake leaves your body with only muscle to burn and use as fuel.

This will ultimately decrease muscle tissue, slow metabolism and your body will increase its fat storage as a means of survival.

Plus, when your body begins to get too hungry, your Will-Power weakens, and you give in to the temptation for some sugary sweets. This will cause you to not only gain back the weight you lost; you will also gain additional weight.  This extra weight gain is due to the body’s defense against the calorie restrictions you placed on it earlier.

Your body doesn’t know when it will receive another “supportive” meal, so it holds on to as many carbs and fats as possible in hopes to survive the next diet you try!

The best way to lose weight, burn fat and increase metabolism is to eat “supportively”.  What does that mean?

To keep it brief for now, here are some simple guidelines to eating supportively…

• Eat a starchy carbohydrate, fibrous carbohydrate and a lean protein with every meal. AKA, Trinity’s “Rule of Three”

• Eat every three to three and half hours

• Avoid or at the worst limit saturated fats

• Avoid, or at least limit sugar. (ALL SUGAR)

• Drink plenty of water.

Brittany Spears, Kirstie Alley and even Oprah Winfrey have been an inspiration and motivation for women to get in shape. But the disappointment is that even these high profile celebrities can’t get it right when it comes to nutrition and exercise and that’s a disappointment.

Each one of these women have shared their secret to successful weight loss tips and shown off their super attractive looks, only to show us months later that in reality they really didn’t have a secret formula and have gained back all the weight they started with and a little more!

We are in such desperation to look like supermodels we’ll follow anyone out there to get this mysterious body that seems to always be far off in the distance.

Once we try these diet and exercise plans referred to by these beautiful people and fail, we blame them, the program, the food, the media everyone.

Is it these celebrities’ faults that they let you done or is the person to blame looking back at you in the mirror?

When their contract is over for pushing or let’s call it what it really is and say “pimping” these products and potions they’re no more accountable for their actions than you and I on a regular bases.

Which seems to have happened to Kirstie after her Jenny Craig contract expired.

So let me ask you a couple questions…

Would you take your car in to be repaired by the local dog catcher?

Would you ask your broke, out of work neighbor for financial advice?

What about trusting your next hair cut to a chef?

I hope the answer is no to all of these, right?

Well, then why trust “movie stars” for exercise and nutrition advice?

We see them for an hour on a sit com or 2 hours during a movie and think, “wow, they’re in great shape. I want to look like them.” But, in actuality, they know nothing about exercise, nothing about nutrition and do really dangerous stuff to get their bodies to look “perfect” for camera.

They hire trainers, full time chefs and workout several times per day if necessary to get a role in a film.

WAKE UP, PEOPLE!

This is the real world we live in.

If you want exercise and nutrition advice you seek out a fitness professional with a proven track record and system for success!

I wanted to give you a quick reminder about our FREE Nutrition Seminar tomorrow night at 7pm.
I know that most of you are working really hard to achieve your goals.  You’re working out every day, completing the cardio and weight training exercises, but are still frustrated with the results you’re seeing in the mirror and in your weight loss.

One of the reasons for your frustration could be your nutrition plan.

Too many times I have seen or over heard people say something like, “I worked out today so I can eat McDonald’s, drink alcohol, eat sweets, (fill in the blank).
This is true yes, on your cheat day or sparingly, but to indulge right after the gym or every day, is setting you up for the lack of results over the long haul.
Tomorrow night, I’m revealing the most misunderstood area when it comes to achieving long term, life changing results!
