There are hundreds of diet regimens that claim to make you lose weight faster than you might expect, and each of these programs promises to produce better results than the other. But only a few work in the long run and the suitors will only remove the extra water from you and then return to your previous weight.
Only time and reputation can prove the effectiveness of a diet. And such a regimen exists only in the name of Dr. Siegal. Cookie diet. This diet regimen refers to a low calorie diet based on a hunger control substitute in the form of cookies. Dr. Siegal’s diet requires only 4 to 6 cookies a day in addition to other foods or meals.
To this day, there are already several cookie diets on the market. But Dr. Siegal’s recipe is still the best-selling among its competitors. This is likely due to its long-standing reputation and satisfactory results among the doctor’s patients and consumers. It is because of the effectiveness of this diet that its recipe has existed for more than three decades.
It was in 1975 when Dr. Sanford Siegal was researching a book on the effects of natural food substances on hunger and satiety that he developed his blend of specific amino acids that are now his cookies. The South Florida physician and weight loss author tried baking this special formula into cookies and used them to control his patients’ hunger. His patients were instructed to consume a maximum of six cookies per day to control their cravings, in addition to a good dinner meal consisting primarily of six ounces of chicken, turkey, fish, or other seafood. Cookies are estimated to have around 500 calories plus dinner, which ideally should have around 300 calories to complete a daily intake of 800 calories.
The weight loss physician’s innovation was an immediate success. In just a few years, the number of his patients has grown dramatically and so have the success stories after using the new diet (back then). His name and diet program spread throughout Florida, expanding his clinics, 14 of them in the state and another 10 in other parts of the United States (the number may have decreased after the separation with the franchisee). Less than a decade after purchasing the prescription, more than 200 physicians were already using the Sanford Siegal creation and program for their own patients. Soon after, Dr. Siegal came up with new products such as smoothie and soup mixes with the same properties as his now famous biscuits.
His cookies, baked in his own bakery in Miami, are now available in five different flavors: oatmeal with raisins, banana, chocolate, blueberry and coconut. He didn’t market his cookies until two years after discovering them when hers convinced him to do so. The formula for these hunger-suppressing cookies has been kept secret from the public to prevent copycats from duplicating the product and naming the recipe themselves. However, this hasn’t stopped them from mimicking the product, and since they don’t work, they only give the real business a bad rap.
