A Fat Boy's Recipe - Diet Oatmeal Cookies

From the Health Club website there is a Diet Cookie Recipe article which informs us that there is a crazy diet plan based on just eating cookies.  I love cookies, but don’t believe I could just live on cookies alone.

 

The article states that a doctor recently stated that he believes most people who are overweight tend to have a thyroid problem.  Read the following for fun and please consult your personal doctor before you attempt such a diet:  “This doctor has also suggested a new cookie diet. It is believed that the cookie diet recipe used in this diet can boost your thyroid function and can help you in your weight loss attempts. Ironically, the cookie diet recipe used in this diet plan is high in sugar, fat and starch, which is meant to satiate your appetite, but limit your intake of calories.”

 

Well, I love cookies, and can not decide to make my famous “Tropical Oatmeal Bars,” or attempt the following recipe:

 

The cookie diet recipe

Given below is the recipe of the cookies used for a cookie diet:

3 large eggs
3 cups of whole-wheat pastry flour
1 cup of uncooked bran and dry oats
2 ½ cups of oats
¾ cup of orange juice
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup non fat, milk powder
1 cup of honey
1 cup raisins
1 cup nuts
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons of canola oil
1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons orange extract
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda

Recipe

  • Mix the oat-bran mixture and the orange juice in a large bowl and keep it aside for about 10 minutes.
  • In another bowl, mix the orange extract, applesauce, eggs, vanilla, oil, honey and sugar, using an electronic blender. Blend till all the ingredients form a smooth, creamy batter.
  • Using a sifter, measure out the flour, the baking soda and the baking powder, sifting them into the mixture of the applesauce.
  • Add the soaked oat-bran to the applesauce and mix the ingredients.
  • Scoop out some of the cookie batter on to cookie sheets. Bake the cookies for around 12 to 14 minutes, or until they are golden-brown

Don’t believe I can eat more than one or two per day.  However, that’s about all the sweets I eat on any given day.  The website is:  From the Health Club website there is a Diet Cookie Recipe article which informs us that there is a crazy diet plan based on just eating cookies.  I love cookies, but don’t believe I could just live on cookies alone.

Love oatmeal cookies, but don't suggest eating to many while on a diet. However, a good friend and medical doctor once told me that "While on diet don't deprieve yourself of anything. If you're craving ice-cream have a small scoope, maybe two small scoopes, but don't eat the whole gallon!"

Years ago this nutritionist told me that if one ate one thing only, you could lose weight...the theory is ,you would gobble,gobble at first, then you would gobble less as you got tired of the ONLY food and then have to gag down the FAVORITE FOOD when into about the third day...people think they could eat their favorite food exclusively, but people get tired of one food very quickly....I tried it with cheesecake at my Bunko weekend...gak...at the end of one day I had cheesecake coming out my ears and my friends would have had to throw me to the ground and force feed another mouthful into my mouth.....

I still do not look at cheesecake the same way, although I do eat it when given a variety of deserts...which are NOT my down fall..I like to eat it plain, no "stuff" on top. believe me sweets are not my gig......real, well cooked delicately seasoned food...Savory over sweet. I had a lymph nodes episode...all the glands in my jaw swelled up last year, still have not gone completely down. I spent 8 days in the hospital, un-swelling the nodes so they did not close off my airway..When I finally was allowed to eat...I could only eat Bland,bland ,bland food by choice.I still am not real crazy about any condiment including and mainly salt , and anything tangy. Vinegars,etc. A little salt goes along way. It was the first time I ate greens in a salad plain [ not really realizing what I was doing] at first and found the taste of the plain food agreeable.
