    The amount of pounds you wish to lose is not something that must be done fast. You may want to consider a combination of diet and exercise which tones your body as well (don't forget, exercise will also increase your metabolism and fat burning ability)

    Considering the Cookie Diet, you do not just go to your supermarket and get some cookies from there and go on the diet. You need to purchase these "cookies" from one of the official outlets. Also, the cookies are not like the ones from your local supermarket but customised ones. According to Wikipedia:

    "... they are a combination of fiber and amino acids designed to make you feel full with a minimum of calories."

    Basically put, this blend makes you fill full so you don't feel hungry while still supplying you with the nutrition required. You only eat this special blend but have dinner as normal.

    Does it work. Apparantley it does from anecdotal evidence. The calorie intake is so low in the end that your body has no other recourse but to lose weight. In essence this diet can be described as a low-carb diet.

    On average someone on this diet loses approximately 15 pounds in a month. As mentioned previously, you should involve an exercise regime to help tone your body and burn the fat. The low calorie intake may make you feel lethargic and exercise may help here in getting your body conditioning and buring fat as required for energy.

    Just a point of note on you wanting to lose weight fast - you will come across various pills and diets that will claim to make you lose weight fast. Always ask and check that the diet/pills are not diuretic (ie, increases the excretion of water from your body). Some of these are quite dangerous and while you will appear to lose weight, you are really stressing your internal organs and can do all sorts of damage. If in doubt, please consult a nutritionist - they know their work and will be able to advise you on all dietary matters.

    I've never heard of this diet, but I'm guessing it's some kind of joke. The best way to lose weight fast is join a gym and get a personal trainer. A trainer can give you dieting advice and design a workout program to help you lose the weight and get in shape. It's can be expensive depending on the gym and it does require a time commitment, but it is the best way to lose weight.

    ive heard of it but i think u have to buy the cookies from somewhere specific or get the cookbook. it might be like jenny craig or weight watchers where they have their own food...try googling it and see what comes up. if u go on amazno.com or ebay or any kind of bookstore website and type in the cookie diet it will pop up (im assuming) but they arent gunna tell u to eat chips a hoy for 4 months i can tell u that right now...the cookies are like slimfast bars in a way..u have a cookie as a meal...they probably taste like poop tho :)

    Weight lost fast, will return fast. Also, anything that sounds too good to be true, probably is. A cookie diet sounds like an overweight person's dream...don't go there.

    Eat right, exercise...make a lifestyle change and stick with it. Anything that allows you to "lose weight fast" will also allow you to regain it fast. Slow and steady wins the race...4 lbs/wk max if you want to keep it off long term.

    Good luck!

    i have not tried it (or even heard of it.) however, there is no safe way to lose 40 pounds "fast". you didn't put it on quickly, and it won't come off quickly. there is no miracle drug or diet- a healthy diet and exercise are your best bet. i am trying to lose weight as well. good luck!

    It has taken me 3 months to lose 30 lbs. Thats a safe healthy way to do it. You may want to try and count calories as well as a regular exercise program.

    Never heard of this one, Cookie Diet. I doubt that very seriously. Watch what you eat. Cookies, I think not.
