cookie diet a fad?

[tilmer52]

I was watching millionaire matchmaker and one of the millionaires on the show is the son of the founder of the cookie diet so i thought i would look into it. it is based on a calorie restricted diet where you eat cookies all day which add up to 500 calories then a normal dinner. this seems logical if eating in a deficit everyday works to lose weight right?

oh yeah, lets fill yourselves full of sugar and fats, oils etc... but hey, its only 500 calories of pure shit... come on man...

LOL eat a cookie and lose bodyfat
how about diet cardio supps sarms? thats much more effective imo

 

[Mobster]

Does he also sell the cookies... yeah that

that is a posterboy example of why IIFYM is bullshit

you can eat a cookie which is low calories if you are fat and lose weight temporarily, but over the long term you will make everything back and more. IIFYM does not work for people overweight in 99% of situations. it can work for someone already lean who has skinny genetics and homeostasis. remember your body will always want to go back to what it thinks is normal size

Following this diet long term would show why calories in vs calories out does not work. It is not a closed-loop system. You would end up inflammed, diabetic, and fat.

sounds pretty stupid to me

Your macros will be fucked on that diet. High carb high fat low protein. That's not going to do anything positive for you

That sounds like the most amazing diet ever if your goal is to have poor nutrition.
