Jersey Shore cast member, Snooki, is on a new diet.

That’s right she has elected to go on the cookie diet, as she told US Magazine in a recent interview.  She maybe looking to slim down under the pressure of being on television in cable’s highest rated show, or maybe its just for personal reasons.  Either way it is interesting that she has choose this diet as the diet of choice to get started.

From US Weekly:

Jersey Shore guidette Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi doesn’t like what she sees in the mirror.

“I used to be fit,” she tells UsMagazine.com. “Now I look at myself, and I’m like, What the hell happened?”

So the MTV reality star, 22, is now on Dr. Siegal’s cookie diet.

On the diet, she eats only one meal a day (usually chicken) — and six cookies, each of which suppresses hunger. The six cookies — which contain beef and milk protein — each contain about 11 grams of carbohydrates and 90 calories.

The biggest challenge so far? No binge drinking!

“If I go out I am going to have a drink, but I am not going to have 10 drinks like I usually would,” she says.

The 4′9″ star’s ultimate goal: “I would like be back to 100 lbs; I’m 110 right now.”

The cookie diet is becoming a sensation among celebrities it seems like.  Just a few days ago we posted about Kim Kardashian and her ties to the diet.  These starlets are under so much pressure to be thin for the constant barrage of cameras you certainly can see why they would be open to trying any new diets that come their way.
