Dr. Siegals Cookie Diet

Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet Review:

Background

Weight loss physician Sanford Siegal, M.D. first came up with the now-famous cookies in 1975, while testing a recipe to help satiate his patients' sweet tooth without affecting their weight loss efforts. For years, the cookies were sold exclusively at his own clinic or at others that followed his plan. In 2002, he allowed his name to be used on franchised weight loss centers, which continued until 2007. Since then, the Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet is available directly through Siegel's website and at selected retailers around the country.

What to Eat

The diet calls for six cookies a day, eaten at scheduled times from morning until evenings. At dinnertime, a small meal of lean protein and vegetables can be had. Lots of water (8-10 glasses). The cookies are available in five flavors: chocolate, oatmeal raisin, coconut, blueberry and banana. In an average day, you will be consuming between 500-800 calories.

The Good

Good to satisfy your sweet tooth and the variety of flavors means you won't get bored or tired of eating the same thing over and over. Rapid weight loss.

The Bad

Extremely low in calories, which can lead to health problems and can prove dangerous to those suffering from diabetes, low blood pressure or other conditions, so supplementing the cookies with a healthy dinner is necessary. The diet cannot be sustained for a long period of time. Reviewers have reported that the taste and texture of the cookies are not exactly at Mrs. Fields level.
