Eat This, Not That! – Bariatric Approved Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Yes, You Can Eat Cookies On Your Bariatric Diet!

You know what’s better than cookies? Nothing! Whether it’s a homemade cookie or store-bought, there is nothing better than a soft (or crispy) cookie at any time of day.

When you’re trying to lose weight it can be difficult to include cookies in your diet and after bariatric surgery.  More often than not, cookies lack the nutrients your body needs and if you try to fit cookies into a low-calorie diet it’s almost impossible to get all of the important nutrients you need from food without going over your calorie limit for the day.

Your body doesn’t want you to sacrifice eating healthy nourishing foods for empty calories, like cookies. Overtime eating empty calories in place of nourishing foods will take a toll on your body.

If you are serious about losing weight it’s important to find as many healthy alternatives to your favorite treats. This way you will curb your cravings and meet your goals!

The good news is that all cookies are not created equal and you can absolutely enjoy cookies while you are on a low calorie diet. In fact, there are cookies that you can eat every single day if your heart desires and lose weight. YES! You heard us right. AND you will feel great and guilt free after eating them!

Since we don’t want to use up our daily calories on empty calories, it’s important to know the healthy alternative that will satisfy our cookie cravings.

Can You Guess Which Cookie Is The Healthier Option?
