In our weight obsessed society, people come up with thousands of ways to become skinny and if you are part of the lucky few, simply stay skinny. The same weight obsession has resulted in food becoming an enemy. Oh yes, for most dieters, food is simply public enemy number one and the less they consume of it, the better. This has led to some people into making food alternatives. Can anything really take the place of food? Why of course. Traditional food is being replaced low-calorie snacks that are designed to keep the cravings at bay and yet put something in your stomach to keep the cravings at bay.
For some people, their sweet tooth is their downfall. The craving for sweets is simply something they cannot deny and more often than not, this craving for sweets wreaks havoc in their personal diets. This has lead to some people creating diets especially designed for people who have a sweet tooth. If you’re one of these people, then let me warn you in advance that this kind of diet is very restrictive. It allows for you to consume low-calorie cookies and or granola bars that are to be eaten throughout the day. With these light frequent snacks, you will be advised to drink lots of water around 8-10 glasses which I guess also helps you feel full. These diets usually allow for a small meal which consists of lean red meat or any kind of lean protein and a tiny portion of vegetables at any one time during the day.
One example of this type of diet is Dr. Segal’s Cookie diet- six cookies to be eaten throughout the day keeps the sweet cravings at bay, plus one small meal at night and lots of liquids. The upside is that the weight comes off rapidly and there is no mention of exercise, but this diet is so low calorie that most people don’t even have the energy to get up and do some laps around the neighborhood, never mind lifting weights at the gym.
I tell you, this diet is not for the faint of heart but could always be considered as a short term option.
