Let’s face it: we all have our weaknesses. Mine happens to be cookies so when I was offered to do a two-week trial of The Hollywood Cookie Diet®, I was all ears. And stomach.

The Hollywood Cookie Diet offers women the chance to eat cookies, while still maintaining a sensible diet. In theory, a dieter on The Hollywood Cookie Diet simply eats a cookie for breakfast, lunch and two snacks. The Web site offers sensible recipe choices for dinner.

Sounds too good to be true? It kind of was.

First, the cookies came in three flavors: chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and lemon and tasted more like energy bars than cookies. Once I got beyond expecting a visit from Mrs. Fields herself, I enjoyed them a lot more.

Second, I tried their suggestion to use them as a meal replacement in addition to snacks. Didn’t work. After two days, I was extremely hungry so went back to eating their healthy recipes for breakfast and lunch while saving the cookies as my mid-day snack.

In the end, this was what worked for me and I lost 3 pounds in two weeks. Not too bad but certainly not the best result I’ve ever had.

Then again, if it had been a Mrs. Fields Cookie Diet, the scale would have tipped in the other direction.
