The Hollywood Cookie Diet, chocolate chip flavor, is a diet plan that is made by a company called Hollywood Miracle Products. This company is also responsible for other weight loss products such as the Hollywood 48-Hour Miracle Diet and the Hollywood 24-Hour Miracle Diet. The manufacturer claims that the Hollywood Cookie Diet can help dieters to lose weight by providing a low calorie replacement for 2 of the main meals of the day.http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4005209

Hollywood Miracle Products suggests eating one cookie for breakfast, another as a morning snack, a third one for lunch, and a fourth one as a replacement for lunch. They also recommend eating a "sensible" dinner in the evening and engaging in an exercise regimen. Each cookie contains 150 calories, 40 of which come from fat.http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4005209

The Hollywood Cookie Diet is a meal replacement plan, just like Slim Fast and other diets that supply prepackaged "meals." On the diet, caloric intake is restricted as meals are replaced by low calorie products and a light dinner is recommended. Diets such as these can help people lose weight simply because fewer calories are consumed. Some people find it easier to stick to a diet when their meals are prepackaged, eliminating the need for choice.http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-cookie-diet?page=2

Critics of cookie diets claim that it can be difficult to get enough vital nutrients on these plans. They also claim that such diets are unlikely to have lasting results, and that they can be hard to stick to due to their restrictive nature.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cookie-diet/AN02051
