Is "The Cookie Diet" For Real?
Eat your cookies and lose weight? Sounds like a dieters dream come true!
The first time I saw this thing called "The Cookie Diet", I thought it was a complete joke. I commented to my sister, "What a gimmick." Then, I found out this is no joke what so ever. This is real!
It has been on Inside Edition, and Good Morning America, and The View and this phenomenon is growing, so why not take a look with me at this thing called The Cookie Diet.
Eat Cookies and Lose Weight
from http://www.dietsinreview.com/diets/dr-siegals-cookie-diet/
For more than 30 years, Dr. Siegal has been preparing, baking and distributing these cookie snacks to help people manage their weight loss goals. He still continues to personally mixes every batch of his proprietary protein formula in his private bakery near his Miami medical clinic.
Here is how The Cookie Diet works:
You eat six of these specially-formulated cookies during the day in addition to one meal eaten at the end of the day. A typical day is comprised of about 800 calories and 70 grams of carbohydrates. You can also eat the cookies in conjunction with another diet.
In addition to cookies,Dr. Siegal also has a line of shakes and soups. By following this very low-calorie diet plan you can expect to lose up to 15 pounds in one month. Dr. Siegel's cookies are available for purchase online, through professional resellers, drug stores, doctors or at one of Dr. Siegel's retail store locations.
Denise Richards, Jennifer Hudson, Snooki, and Kelly Clarkson have all lost weight on Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet.

Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet Book
Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet Book: How a Doctor and His Cookie Helped 500,000 People Lose Weight Fast
Amazon Price: $2.93 (as of 06/01/2012)
Product Description
''Losing weight quickly is unwise.''
''If you lose weight quickly, you're more likely to gain it back.''
'''Eating near bedtime creates more fat.''
''Diets of 1,000 calories or less are unsafe.''
''Nutritional nonsense!'' declares Dr. Sanford Siegal in Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet Book. He debunks these and other myths that he says are propagated by ivory tower researchers, nutritionists, and even some of his fellow physicians who have never helped an actual overweight person lose weight. Drawing on fifty years of experience exclusively treating overweight patients, Dr. Siegal presents anecdotal evidence gathered from more than 500,000 patients to support the concepts underlying his venerable Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet weight-loss approach and hunger-controlling cookie.
This book is must reading for anyone who follows the Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet weight-loss program or is considering doing so. Dr. Siegal, known to generations as the ''Cookie Doctor,'' provides real-world advice and practical tools that will help you set and reach your goal weight and, for the first time in the history of dieting, customize your diet in order to reach your goal weight by a specific date such as a reunion, vacation, or wedding.

- I think a cookie diet could work in the short term. Kitchen cleanup is a breeze, for sure. I'm not a fan of calorie counting and only weigh myself once or twice a year.

- Seems like a silly diet to me. I understand the psychology of allowing sweets, but for the same number of calories you could have a lot of healthier and more filling foods. But I'm glad to know about it and how it's supposed to work. Nice job of informing.

- If a person likes cookies, this might work. My mom lost a lot of weight on the ayds plan, back in the late 60's - she basically had 2 vitamin enriched caramel candies with a cup of hot black coffee about 30 minutes before each meal - so by mealtime she wasn't hungry. That was the good part. The bad part was that over time her potassium levels got so low from her lopsided diet that she ended up with a heart attack followed by a stroke. So ever since then (I was 12 when it happened) I've been really leery of skewed diets. However, in principle, increasing one's fiber, lowering one's intake of fat, salt, and simple carbs, and increasing exercise is supposed to work. Unless, like me, you have the metabolism of a snail on prozac, in which case you're in deep ... manure.

- Eating too few calories can and usually does slow down the metabolism. Not good for the long run
