The Hollywood Cookie Diet, Oatmeal Raisin flavor, is a product that is used for the purpose of losing weight. The manufacturer, Hollywood Miracle Products, claims that by replacing 2 meals and 2 snacks each day with one of their cookies, dieters will be able to achieve their weight loss goals.http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4070559

Each box of Hollywood Cookie Diet oatmeal raisin cookies contains 12 individually wrapped pieces. The cookies have protein and fiber to help consumers feel full after eating them. There are 150 calories per serving (the serving size is 1 cookie), and 35 of them come from fat. There are 24 grams of carbohydrate, 3 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. Dieters are instructed to eat a cookie for breakfast, one as a midmorning snack, one for lunch and then one as an afternoon snack.http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4070559

The cookie diet concept was started by a man named Dr. Siegal, who also makes his own brand of cookies. Both his cookie diet and the Hollywood Cookie Diet replace meals with cookies. There are also other meal replacement plans on the market, such as Slim Fast. These plans can work when dieters follow them as directed, as they limit the amount of calories that are consumed each day.http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-cookie-diet

Some experts claim that dieters may be unlikely to stick with such meal replacement plans, as the number of calories consumed can be too low. In addition, those on the plan may not be able to get enough nutrients.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cookie-diet/AN02051
