Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® is the original cookie-based weight loss system developed by obesity expert Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D., in 1975. Dr. Siegal's cookies are convenient, sensible snack foods that effectively curb hunger. They contain no drugs and are available without a prescription. You can enjoy them simply as a healthier alternative to other snacks, or you can use them to control your appetite as you follow a diet that your doctor directs and supervises. More than 500,000 people have used Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® foods to help them reach their goals during the past thirty-two years, and more than 200 other physicians have used them in their own practices.
Are Dr. Siegal's cookies delicious? Are they magical? Do they perform miracles? No. They taste pretty good but Dr. Siegal deliberately chooses not to make them delicious. Delicious foods make people overeat and get fat. As for magic and miracles... well... you probably know the answer.
If you're serious about finding truly delicious cookies, or weight loss through magic and miracles, then you probably aren't serious about doing what is necessary to achieve a healthy and sustainable weight. If that's the case, you might want to wait until you're ready. The last thing you need is another diet failure.
Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® was created by Dr. Siegal to help patients of his Miami, Florida medical practice, Siegal Medical Group, control their hunger and stick to their diets. To this day, Dr. Siegal personally makes every batch of his secret hunger-controlling protein blend by hand in his own bakery.
Early in his career, Dr. Siegal realized something that helped shape his career: Hunger Wrecks Diets™. He knew that if he could control his patients' hunger he could help them stick to their diets and lose weight. Drawing on his chemistry background and passion for cooking, he discovered that combining certain components of food proteins (called amino acids) in a particular way produces foods that offer unusual hunger control per calorie. He used his discovery to create his now-famous diet cookies and, soon afterwards, shakes and soup with the same hunger-controlling qualities.
Dr. Siegal, his books, and his famous Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® have been featured in dozens of print, broadcast, and online media including ABC's Good Morning America, The FOX Morning Show w/ Mike & Juliet, NBC's Today Show, CNN, Woman's World, First for Women, Toronto Globe and Mail and The Washington Post.
