You really can lose weight eating cookies.

Here's how it works:

The COOKIE DIET works by having the patient eat six cookies per day, and only when hungry. Dinner is the one meal allowed on the diet and usually consists of a lighter meat dish with vegetables. It is recommended that people speak to their doctors before starting any diet, but Siegal says his diet works because it has a simple philosophy: "Hunger wrecks diets," he said. "My cookie minimizes that major stumbling block to successful dieting."

The cookies are FDA-approved and come in chocolate, oatmeal raisin, blueberry, coconut and banana flavors, and contain amino acids and proteins. They open the door to diversity in diet foods, but the texture may be different from what people may expect. The cookies are light and spongy, more like a muffin or banana bread than a traditional cookie. Some patients who have tried the cookie diet recommend heating the cookie up for 10 to 15 seconds in a microwave and spritzing it with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray.

"They say that 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.' Well, I'm feeling very flattered these days. Over the last 35 years, imitators of Dr. Siegal's® Cookie Diet have come and gone, almost without notice. But all of a sudden there's a whole new crop of imitators. Stories of our patients' success has obviously gotten around, and opportunistic copy cats have come out of the woodwork." says Dr. Siegal

Though it may smack of dessert, the cookie diet is not for the weak-willed. Patients get six cookies a day to snack on as a substitute for breakfast and lunch. "Dinner" is a humble 300 calories, usually in the form of lean protein, such as chicken, fish or turkey, and a small salad or serving of vegetables. At 800 calories total - roughly one-third the recommended daily adult intake - patients are almost guaranteed dramatic results, typically 12 to 15 pounds a month. "The weight just pours off them," Dr. Siegal says. "There isn't any question of 'Is it going to work?' Of course it's going to work."

**Ela Prieto, a 39-year-old bank executive, lost 51 pounds, shrinking from a size 14 to a size 4. She was on the cookie diet for four and a half months, and then went off the diet and onto a maintenance program for the last two years, on which she eats about 1,200 calories a day, and exercises.

"The first five days, like on every diet, it's not easy," Prieto said. But instead of toting around a salad or a TV dinner, she just put her cookies in a Ziploc bag and kept them with her.

"And I'm not hungry," she said. "The cookies do satisfy."

**Katia Powell of Boston found the diet online. She says it was tough at first.

"They're not like Chips Ahoy."

But, Katia is thrilled with the results. She dropped 14 pounds in three weeks on the cookie diet.

**Linda Hoover said she tried numerous diets without results before stumbling upon the Cookie Diet. She's been eating six cookies a day for about a month and said she's lost 17 pounds.

**Stacy and Frank are Cookie Diet Champions - they've lost more than 80 pounds between them. The middle-aged couple from Boca Raton, Florida started the Cookie Diet in March 2007.

Frank, who had been in a car accident in 2002 couldn't work out to lose weight and was tipping the scale at 252 pounds. He's now down to 190 pounds and has gone from a size 48 to a size 34.

Stacy has lost 22 pounds. The couple maintained their weight loss through the summer thanks to healthy lifestyle changes . Now that they're no longer on the Cookie Diet they only have one regret. "We miss the cookies!"

**To see Dave Pickel run with his dog, Greta, you would never know that three short months ago he weight 312 pounds. Pickel lost 90 pounds in three months on the "Cookie Diet." Regular dieting didn't work for Pickel, but this sure did.

"These are probably a 44 waist and now I'm a 36," Pickel said.

"I lost 19 pounds in the first 10 days and in the first month it was 44 pounds. I realized I was onto something. (I) thought (it would) grind to a halt, (but) now I still lose five pounds every week and it's just not that hard to do," Pickel said.

**"I tried grapefruits, I tried hard boiled eggs. I tried starving," said **Diane Delano.

Diane Delano's latest diet tool? Cookies.

"I went down I don't know, five six sizes. Lost the weight and now everybody wants to date me," Delano says.

Delano lost 45 pounds on the cookie diet

Mike Fachenfelt lost 160 pounds in just over a year.
