Awful

Pros: none
Cons: taste awful
"I will probably never know if the diet works because most of the cookies are so awful I can't choke them down. Particularly the chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. Its like eating paste. I bought granola bars separately for some variety and they are okay. Buyer beware of the high ratings. I REALLY regret it. I can't express enough how bad these cookies are. I never review products, but I just had to let people know because the ads can be enticing."

Yuck

Pros: easy and quick
Cons: taste horrible
"So the plan is easy, the cookies are awful. I tried heating them in the microwave and that helped a bit but mostly I would wash them down with lots of water. The soup tasted fine as did the shakes. I just couldnt stick with it because the cookies tasted so dry. I thought it would give me a boost to my weight loss but no. Now to be fair, I didnt try to return anything, I held on to it hoping I could give it another try, then I just tossed it out."

Watch your blood/sugar

"The only reason I am writing a review is because I had problems with my blood/sugar reading after using the product for three days. And despite only opening three packages of cookies, this product is now non-returnable even though the entire remainder is sealed. I had no problems with the taste of the cookies. I followed the suggestion of microwaving each for 10 seconds and found the flavour was just fine. As noted in another review they are a bit dry but as I needed to increase my water intake a glass of water after each cookie was no problem. During the 3 days that I followed the program I wasn't left feeling hungry. I wish I could have stayed on the program."

Excellent product for food addicts.

Pros: great taste no deprivation.
"I am on this plan and I have been losing on average a pound a day. Trust me, for a person who has tried everything and given up on it all, I feel like I am finally succeeding! I feel great and I haven't felt hungry or deprived for one second!"

This diet works

"I have lost 26 lbs on this diet. I didn't think I would ever be able to lose this weight so I am quite pleased. It is simple and easy to follow for people who are busy and on the go a lot. It does take some time but it is well worth it."

Never go hungry!

Pros: easy to use, makes you drink lots of water, feel full most of the day
Cons: you may need to get used to the texture of cookies
"I have been using this for 1 week and have lost 5 pounds! (Only want to lose 10 pounds) I am so pleased with the fact that I am never hungry, have more energy, and it feels like you're cheating with cookies! Like some others said, the cookies do take some getting used to, little dry but water definately helps. Blueberry are the best but you do not get that many compared to the other flavours. Easy to use, I have some in my car, at home, at work. The stubborn holiday weight is finally going! A sensible dinner and some cheating on the weekend, I still lost weight, unbelievable! I did feel hungry the first couple of days but I recommend a slow transition into this i.e. 3 cookies first day with a healthy lunch and dinner, then maybe 4 the next day etc. Easier on your system... LOVE THIS !"

The BEST ever!!!!!

Pros: easy, flavorful, grab-and-go, simple to follow, gulit-free indulgence
Cons: none!!!!!
"I am using the programme to lose about 15-20 pounds. I started just 11 days ago and am already down 7 pounds! I couldn't recommend Smart For Life products more, this is a terrific programme and I couldn't be happier with my progress. I have a very active social life on weekends and am not being 100% perfect and am still achieving these amazing results. I LOVE the chocolate chip cookies best. They are very filling when eaten with a large glass of water. This programme works beautifully with my lifestyle because I simply don't have time to eat the way other programmes tell us we should, who has time to have a sit down meal every day for all of our meals? If you do, good for you but I'm too busy for that. It's the idea of small, multiple meals during the day to keep our metabolism going during the day and not starving ourselves all day long, eating once a day and then wondering why we are getting fatter and fatter. I love that the programme is 60% organic, no preservatives and all natural. Losing weight doesn't get easier than this programme if you have a busy lifestyle. Try it, you won't be disappointed!
I'll definately use the cookies for maintenance as a snack during the day to keep calories and eating under control to stop myself from becoming ravenous during the day and destroying all of my hard work during this weightloss time. Get Smart, stay Smart and become Smart For Life!!!
Give the Granola Squares a try too, they're a great alternate for a snack too!"

Lost 7 lbs on the 30 day program!

Pros: easy to follow, high in fibre, filling
Cons: none i could think of
"You may not think 7 lbs is much, but when you are just 10 lbs overweight, it's a triumph! Anyone who has ever been on a diet knows what I mean about the last 10 lbs. Well, these are my first 10 lbs! They're supposed to come off more easily. I found the first two weeks difficult because I was craving chocolate. When I got over that and started drinking all the water they suggested, the lbs started to shed very quickly. The secret is really in drinking a lot of water, and that is not difficult because the cookies contain a lot of bulk which makes you thirsty anyway. I keep glasses all over the house to remind me to drink. One suggestion: I prepare the soup by pouring hot water over it in a cup and stirring well. Their over-the-stove method takes too long. I do eat half a bag of diet popcorn in the evening if I really need to munch (with a couple of glasses of water). It does not seem to affect my weight loss. As I said, the secret is in the water. Also, if you don't drink, you'll get constipated!! These days, I find that I am unable to eat 6 cookies a day. I manage 3 at most. They are just too filling. So, actually, the 30-day program really gives you enough cookies, shakes and soups for more than 30 days. Give the diet a try...you won't be sorry!"

It Really Works!

Pros: you loose weight!
Cons: i still crave other food
"I started using this product just over 2 weeks ago and I lost a total of 5 pounds the first week and 2 the next! I started at 155 lbs and am down to 148 lbs!! I love the taste of the cookies and they're even better when you can warm them up. The soup is good, the vanilla shake is yummy and I haven't tried the chocolate one yet.
The first 2 days were the hardest - just getting used to not eating meals at breakfast and lunch. I definately miss the "bad" foods and crave them once in a while but overall I never feel hungry. I'm also learning to cook better for me and my family which is a big bonus.
Give it a try!"

Easy program

Pros: simple, convenient
Cons: tastes bad
"This is one of the easiest diet plans I have ever tried, unfortunately it tastes bad. I lasted 2 full weeks on the diet and lost 11 pounds. After 2 weeks, I just couldn't stand the taste anymore. The chocolate chip cookies are tolerable but the other 2 have a nasty bitter taste to them. The soup wasn't too bad. The vanilla shake was ok but I really didn't like the chocolate."

Perfect for people on the go!

Pros: easy to grab a package and go!, water intake increased with eating the cookies.
"These cookies really work. The biggest lesson I learned from the program was the importance of maintaining low blood sugar. The cookies provide nutrients throughout the day, keeping blood sugar and hunger low. I was astonished to see how sugar, insulin production and hunger are inter-related in the educational brochure provided. I work 12 hr shifts and I would often starve myself and then eat like crazy. The cookies are quick and easy to eat. I dropped from 144 to 131 lbs - my lowest weight in my adult life. I think to a great extent, eating the cookies every 2 hrs, I convinced my body that I wasn't starving it anymore. The weight flew off."

Great Diet

"Initially I was shocked at how small the cookies were. But you eat one of them and have a full 16 oz bottle of water and you're instantly full. Obviously its not a long term diet but its very convenient. No counting points, eating anything special or meetings. I keep a pack of cookies with me at all times and a bottle of water and I'm never hungry."

Disgusting!!!

Pros: convenient
Cons: horrible taste!!
"You will lose weight quickly, but the cookies taste awful, are hard to swallow and made me gag. Dry, sickly sweet and a gross bitter aftertaste. If you just cut your calories down to 1000 (such as this diet does) you will lose weight yourself! NOT to mention it tells you to make sure to take your vitamins which leads me to believe it's not too healthy."
