The Trader Joe’s Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Weight Loss Program

January 29, 2009

Since it’s still January I’ve been thinking a lot about my 2009 goals. One of those goals, like many of you, is to get in better shape. I’ve known for awhile that I need to make some changes in my eating habits. Recently I discovered the Trader Joe’s Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Weight Loss Program – also known as the TJVCCCWLP.

Well, as everybody knows, vegan cookies have zero calories and zero fat. In fact, you lose weight with each bite. So, if you buy a bag in the morning and eat the whole thing before your family comes home in the evening, you will be thinner by dinner time!

So being a little skeptical, I compared the Trader Joe’s Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie to a more a traditional “health” food – the baby carrot.

Well, I was so amazed at what I learned! Since the baby carrot is so high in calories & fat, you can eat 7 cookies for every 1 carrot! Who knew that would be the case? I sure didn’t!

But wait….it gets even better! Since, as you now know, the Trader Joe’s Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie has zero calories, you can eat the 7 cookies AND the baby carrot AND still lose weight!

Amazing, don’t you think? I’m certain, especially those of you who know me in person, that you will definitely see a difference in me if I stay on the TJVCCCWLP. I may even have to buy new clothes!

Note: I’ve also heard that the Trader Joe’s Vegan Oatmeal Cookie has fabulous health benefits, too. Supposedly if you eat the whole bag you will build muscle and cardiovascular strength. Many have been able to run marathons averaging a 6 1/2 minute mile pace after doing the TJVOC training program.

Aaaah 2008 was such a good year! I can’t believe we’re in mid January 2009 already. What’s funny is that I keep putting 2010 when I write the date…ha!
