Your Cookie Diet

It’s a sad fact but most diets are prone to failure. Why is this? Well, it’s because we are human! But there are several underlying reasons why most diets fail. One of the biggest reasons is old bad habits. Studies have been conducted and it takes on average 21 days for a person to change a habit. So if you are like me and several other people that skip breakfast in the morning. It would take 21 days of forcing ourselves to eat breakfast each morning before we would be in the habit to eat breakfast, by that time we wouldn’t even think about it – it would be a part of our daily routine.

For many people it is difficult to stick to a diet due to bad habits. We get in a routine of bad habits and it’s very difficult to break that routine. Remember, it takes 21 days to make something a habit. This includes dieting, eating, exercising, etc – EVERYTHING!

Now to stick with something new that may not be the easiest thing (such as dieting) it takes lots of will power and motivation. How long can you stay motivated? A week? Two weeks? 3 weeks/21 days? Most people after starting a diet will deviate from it after a week or two. Thus making it hard to develop it into a good habit.

This is why most of us will fail with our diet – lack of motivation and not giving it enough time to make it a habit.

Now the reason why the cookie diet works – we all love cookies! C’mon I mean who doesn’t like to eat cookies. Why would anyone in their right mind not want to eat cookies and loose weight. The cookie diet makes it easy to stay motivated. It gives you the chance to accomplish your goals (loosing weight) while doing something you like (eating cookies). If you already eat the odd cookie now and then, it will make it that much easier.

Also the ingredients in the cookies for the cookie diet as you know help suppress hunger, so you will have more control over when and what you eat.
