Smart for Life Cookie Diet, Oatmeal Raisin Pack of 14

I whole heartily agree with John.This is the second time I have used this 'Smart For Life' diet. I went on it about a year and a half ago. I lost almost 50lbs in 3 months. Since then I have slipped and gained back 15. I'm on it again and this time it will be for only a month or so.I have read a lot of negative reviews about this diet, most of them from people who were unsuccessful and tried to modify the course.It is very simple: One cookie and one 16oz bottle of water every 2 hours. I nibble on the cookie and sip the water. I try and take as long as possible with eating. My schedule is 8am, 10, 12, 2, 4, and a light dinner at 6. the last cookie at 8pm if needed. For dinner I usually have chicken breast and vegetables. Or canned soup with frozen vegetables added. I drink a lot of crystal light too. Be careful with sweets including no calorie sweet things. The sweets stimulate your hunger.READ THE DIRECTIONS. You will lose your hunger after the first day or so. Measure your Carbohydrates. You want to stay under 100 grams a day. Six cookies at 105 calories each and a 300 to 400 calorie meal equals 900 to 1,000 calories a day. There is no way you will not lose weight unless you cheat.I like the Oatmeal cookie. The chocolate chip were too sweet for me and the blueberry tasted too artificial. I wrap them in a paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds.I also take vitamins twice a day and some fiber tablets. You will lose a lot of bulk and may become constipated.Take a little walk every day, I walk out from my house for ten minutes and then turn around and walk back.My blood pressure dropped 15 points, my glucose went down under 100. I weigh myself first thing in the morning and record it on a calendar. It is just amazing to watch the pounds fall off.

good product

These cookies were very dry and my wife could hardly eat them. Especially true of the oatmeal ones. Maybe they sat in warehouse too long. With Smart For Life products, which my wife has been using a few years for weight control, we have found freshness to be very unpredictable.

Personal preference. Don't let me stop you from trying it. But I had 0 tolerance for the taste or texture

Smart For Life cookies have reduced my supermarket bills more than the price of the cookies themselves. My long time favorite is oatmeal raisin.You need not be overweight to benefit from this product. These cookies make it easy to MAINTAIN weight as well as lose. With reasonable determination almost anyone can do it.But these are not cookies in the traditional sense such as Keebler, Pepperidge Farm, Mrs. Fields or Nabisco. These are NOT your "milk and cookies" cookies. They are, essentially, "cookie-LIKE" substances designed to quell hunger. And that's what you want.The Smart For Life directions: "Within 1 hour of waking up, eat your first Smart Cookie along with a glass of water. Then every 2-3 hours, when you feel hungry, eat another Smart Cookie. You should eat 6 Smart Cookies throughout the day and then a healthy, low fat dinner of chicken or fish with 5 cups of vegetables as outlined in your Program Guide included in your order. This will retrain you to eat small, multiple meals throughout the day. Keep in mind, the Smart Foods will suppress your appetite, naturally, so you can go about your day without feeling hungry."I, personally, don't cling to the directions. When I'm hungry I might have a cookie. I eat them as I see fit. With these cookies and some exercise my weight is kept in check.Those with moderately severe problems may choose to adhere to the directions more strictly. Just do what's best for YOU. Everyone is different.For further information about Smart For Life you can visit their website.

In this order, the cookies are a little bit more cake like and the pakaging of the 6 pack is in plain white with no product labelling or information so I can't look up cookie content. While the cookies taste the same, this is the first time the packaging is plain white and hopefully the same brand.

Ok, here's the scoop. I was skeptical at first, but a friend tried the Smart for Life cookie diet last year before her 20 year reunion and I was floored at the success she had. I'm a man, not a fancier of diets, supplements, etc. In hiding, I decided to order these. Came in discrete packaging. The first day was a bit hard for me because I'm used to having breakfast be my most significant meal of the day. Surprisingly after my second cookie my hunger was satisfied. By the third cookie of the day I literally had no appetite. By the end of the third day of the Smart for Live cookies it was hard to even get my dinner down, as I simply wasn't hungry. I read all the main ingredients and was for sure there was some kind of foreign ingredient in there to keep you from getting hungry, but there isn't. Plus the pamphlet that came with the cookies said they're 60% organic. WOW! It also explains about the patented so called "fiber blend" Ah Ha! The magic ingredients. I will continue to be a closet eater of the Smart for Life cookies. I've lost about 6 pounds my first 6 days. Will write another review when I've ordered my second round of magic cookies.

I'M A LONG TIME FAN OF SMART FOR LIFE COOKIES. MY WIFE AND I USE THE COOKIES TO SUPPLEMENT OUR DIET AND REPLACE LUNCH AND CONTINUE OUR METABOLISM IN THE CONSUMING ROLE INSTEAD OF THE FAT ACCUMULATION MODE. i MAY HAVE EVERY TECHNICALLY WRONG BUT I'VE KEPT MY WEIGHT AT 154- TO- 156 POUNDS RANGE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. SO I DON'T CARE WHAT THE REASON IS THAT IT WORKS. IT JUST DOES FOR BOTH MY WIFE AND ME.LAVI ENTERPRISES DELIVERS A GREAT PRODUCT AT A GOOD PRICE AND IS PRIME DELIVERY.
