Bite into an Appetizer Diet® Cookie and the first thing you notice, not surprisingly, is that the taste is delicious. But this is more than just a tasty snack. The Appetizer Diet® Cookie provides all the nutritional support, energy and fullness of traditional ‘sports bars’ with the added benefit of more fiber—which is an essential to weight management, well being, and overall good health.* The Appetizer Diet® Cookie contains both soluble and insoluble fiber.
According to the American Medical Association (AMA), the National Cancer Institute and other organizations, a fiber rich diet offers a variety of benefits. Unfortunately, the American Heart Association estimates that the average adult gets just 15 grams of fiber each day, far short of the recommended 28 to 35. With children, the shortfall is just as pronounced. According to an article in Pediatrics Magazine, the typical dietary intake of children falls well below the recommended “age plus 5” formula.

Why A High Fiber Cookie?
The Appetizer Diet® incorporates a high fiber cookie for excellent reasons. In addition to the various boosts fiber offers, including proper elimination, bowel cleansing and circulatory benefit, research shows that fiber-rich carbohydrate sources may foster cholesterol within the normal ranges. According to the American Heart Association’s Nutrition Committee—reported in a statement titled “The Heathcare Professional”—studies show that LDL cholesterol was impacted by between 10% and 15% with oat and/or psyllium fiber.*
The same study also points out the importance of fiber to gastrointestinal health*, highlighting the correlation between fiber intake and lower mortality rates from all causes.* This report cites research on the positive interaction of fiber and circulatory issues and of fiber and reduced risk of obesity.*
Fiber also has a tendency to make you feel full and thus control your tendency to overeat.* The study also addresses "high-fiber" food intake on glycemic control in diabetic individuals.*
The benefits of fiber include:
- Better Digestion *
- Bowel Health *
- Weight Management *
- Better Circulation *
- Cholesterol and Blood Sugar Control*
