New England and Cookie Diets

We visited a medspa in Massachusetts yesterday that was interested in implementing the Serotonin-Plus Weight Loss program into their spa. Seems that they have tried a number of "weight loss programs" that have not worked very well. The owner was lamenting that his most recent venture was a "Cokkie Diet" program in which patients would buy 75 dollars a week worth of special cookies. They would also pay 80 dollars a week for their visit. Most of the patients were dissatisfied and left the program . The owner is now stuck with 10000 dollars worth of inventory of cookies that have a 35 day shelf life.


Once again, it is our strong feeling that meal replacements, fad diets etc. are NOT a long term strategy. To lose weight and keep that weight off, one needs to learn how to behavior modify with "real" food...not prepackaged meals, bars, shakes or cookies.

By the way, New England for seafood??? The restaurants in our area are MUCH better than here,
