From "cookies for skincare" to "cookies for weight loss," we can't stop hearing about cookie-centric diets. Unfortunately, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Eating cookies and just cookies, day in and day out might not be all it's crumbled up to be. Here, we take a bite out of the crazy-for-cookies diets that are whetting the appetites of everyone from Jennifer Hudson to Denise Richards. |

Reese Witherspoon was recently spotted buying L.A.-based DeLuscious Vitamin Enhanced treats. The cookies, which come in Oatmeal Raisin and Chocolate White Chocolate Toffee, are said to fight fine lines and wrinkles as well as speed up metabolism and boost our immune systems--thanks to nine minerals and vitamins as well as acai berry. If Reese's dewy clear skin and fit physique is any testament to her choice in snacks, we'll take a box. |

| Here, Beverly Hills diet doctor Dr. Siegel really serves up too much of a good thing. Though the cookies come in five flavors, the monotony of eating six cookies a day--just like six servings of ice cream or six slices of pizza--will be enough for anyone to need a break. Clearly, that's the idea behind Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet. Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Mandy Moore and Denise Richards have all tried it. Guy Ritchie tried it, and according to Madonna, lost a little weight, but lost his sex drive in the process. |

2 1/2 cookies for monotony and the disappointing side effect of lack of sex drive. |

Each cookie from the HCD boasts just 4 grams of fat, 25 carbs and 125 calories. Still, if it ain't broke, don't fix it: if it's any indication of how similar the Hollywood Cookie Diet is to Dr. Siegal's, the two cookie diet companies went head to head in court for ownership of the "Cookie Diet" name. Our vote: since Dr. Siegal's has been around longer, we trust the time-honored cookie diet over this one. |

| Soypal Cookies, called the "Japanese Diet Cookie," are low in calories and made from premium Japanese soybeans, grown on the island of Hokkaido. The cookies, which are preservative- and additive-free, are full of Okara (soy pulp), which is a fiber that expands in your tummy to keep you full. The company claims seven cookies a day yield effective weight loss.

Natasha's has whipped up a relatively low calorie cookie
(120 to 140 cals) which tastes great, is gluten free, low carb
and has no sugar added. Also, it's got special almond meal, which curbs the appetite. Natasha, the cookie baker who still handmakes each batch, encourages you to think of this as a healthy snack, not an indulgent dessert. Also, she promises a faster metabolism if you chop one of these cookies up into bite-sized pieces and eat it throughout the day. |

5 cookies for realizing cookies shouldn't be eaten 24/7. Instead, these cookies are the perfect guiltless supplement to a healthy, balanced diet. |
