Combining Diet Plans Works Better Than Individual Plans

A recent report in MedlinePlus states U.S. Obesity Epidemic Continues to Spread. It reveals that obesity rates climbed over the past year in 16 states, and not a single state reported a decline. Another recent report outlines how obesity threatens America抯 future. It reveals that obesity rates climbed over the past year in 6 states, and not a single state reported a decline in the proportion of excessively overweight residents. The report, released in July, also found that more than 30 percent of the people in 12 states are obese. Four years ago, only one state could make that claim.

It is obvious that the standard advice of 揺at less and exercise?is not working. We need additional help in our fight against excessive weight.

R&D Diet Cookie?initiated a study to evaluate the effectiveness of their diet program compared to (1) a strict low carb program (Atkins? and (2) a combination of the two programs. They also compared Weight Watchers?and NutriSystem?diets with and without the additional help of their appetite suppressing cookies.

What they found out was that it was easier for all dieters to stay on their diets if they used the meal replacement cookie. Also, all the dieters who used the cookies lost more weight. This may simply be because they were all able to stay on their diets better. The two main reasons people fail in their dieting efforts are hunger and cravings. If it wasn抰 for hunger and cravings, dieting and weight loss would be easy. Since the meal replacement cookies suppress both hunger and cravings, it is not surprising users experienced a higher success rate in their weight loss efforts compared to those who diet with only will-power.

Based on user reports, there was some evidence that combining a low-carb atkins-type diet with cookie dieting was more effective than either diet alone. Since their cookies were low enough in net carbs to be considered 搇ow-carb friendly? they decided to test this claim, not only with low carb dieters but also with other popular diets.

The biggest difference was in the dieters who were on Weight Watchers?or NutriSystems? i.e. traditional low-calorie diets. They looked at the individual plan and compared plan participants using the cookies vs. plan participants not using the cookies. The participants on either diet who used cookie dieting as a supplement not only lost more weight but they stayed on their diets until the end of the study. The dieters who did give up the study before the end all came from the groups that did not have the additional help of the cookies.

All participants filled out a 換uality of Life?survey and dieters who had the additional help of the cookies stated that their dieting experience was easier to stick with. The dieters using the meal replacement cookies could have lost more weight simply because the cookies allowed them to stay on their diet whereas the dieters who went on Weight Watchers or NutriSystem alone found it difficult to stick to their diet through the end of the study. Strict adherence to the diet plan appeared to also be more difficult in the group that did not have the added help of the cookies. There is nothing magical about the cookies. The cookies are simply engineered to eliminate hunger and cravings so that it is easier to stay on whichever diet you choose.

Similar results were seen with the dieters on Atkins with and without the R&D Diet Cookies. The dieters using the cookies were able to remain on their diets throughout the course of the study. There was a higher attrition rate in the atkins group that did not use the cookies. It will be interesting to find out if there was a greater weight loss with any particular diet. Although it appears the low carb dieters had greater success in terms of total weight lost, the actual test results won抰 be available for a few more months.

R&D Diet Cookie? established in 2007, is a meal replacement product said to eliminated hunger and cravings allowing the user to stay on their diet. The effectiveness is the combination of the amino acids and proteins used, the fiber, and especially the absence of any ingredient that promotes hunger. You don抰 have to go on a very low calorie diet in order for the cookies to work. This study shows that the cookies can benefit any diet out there. Eliminating hunger and cravings is the most important benefit of the cookies?
