Losing Weight on a Cookie Diet?
Dr Sanford Siegel, a renowned weight loss expert, just opened the first retail store for his diet cookies in Moorestown Mall in South Jersey. These cookies are packed with amino acids of some sort to curb your appetite as well as take a nice chunk out of your wallet. Six cookies a day....will it keep the fat away? Hmmmmm I think that's how I got this way....the cookie monster got a hold of me wayyyy too often.
It it's a weight loss tool that works for some....that's great. I guess I'm just a skeptic about such things.

Slimming Effect of the COOKIE DIET™ on Wallets
Thanks for blogging about us, Chris. I have to admit that the line about "taking a chunk out of your wallet" made me chuckle. On a serious note, though, at approximately $8 per day or $4 per meal replacement, the Cookie Diet™ can actually cost less than conventional meals for some people.
Thanks again for telling people about our web site and our new store in New Jersey.

I love to brighten a person's day. I'm glad I was able to make you chuckle. I chuckled as well when I read your response.
If anyone buys your product from reading my post and it works for them, it will have made this post worthwhile.
Keep smiling....
His diet is way to low in calorie at least his med supervised one is diets should not be under 1000
calories.
I think if he improved his diet to 1000 to 1500 caleries it might be okay
I live in New Jersey and will be checking this place out for sure!
From what I've ready, the diet isn't necessarily less than 1000 calories, although apparently very low. You eat the cookies (up to 6) throughout the day--I think they're approx 90 cals each--and then have a lean, sensible dinner. I would think that you could have 600-800 cals for dinner and be at about 1200-1400 for the day. Very low, but with a multivitamin not bad at all. I think it would be difficult to sustain that regimen for more than 3-4 months, but definitely could be a boost. I know someone (a guy) who's lost 50 lbs in two months and he used to eat HUGE amounts of food. For him it's trained him to eat only when he's hungry. I never thought he'd be able to control his eating, but he loves this diet.
Also, an aside about cost--with ANY commercial diet. I think, yes, that some programs can be expensive. But when a fat person (myself included) complains about "expensive" diet food, I think it's a little hypocritical, since maintaining these pounds isn't cheap either. My binge expenses--dining out, restaurant delivery, junk food, etc.--is much more expensive that most diet programs.
I think the blessing/curse for Dr. Siegal is the name Cookie Diet. It gets a lot of attention, but makes it sound like a gimmick when it may not be.
Good luck to everyone ... whatever works!

Like I said in my post...it is a weight loss tool that works for some. For me, those cookies would have to taste real bad in order for me to only eat two. And as the other anonymous reader stated, this program cost $8 per day or $4 per meal replacement. I don't think replacing a meal with a couple of cookies is healthy.
I'm glad to see this plan is working for your friend. Although I don't think losing 50 lbs in two months is healthy. I hope he will be able to sustain the weight loss.
Perhaps by taking the time to share your views with me, you've be motivated to start your own weight loss program.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.
I have heard some great things about the Smart for Life Cookie Diet. From what I understand and correct if I am wrong. I thought that Smart For Life and Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet were one and the same. However on Dr. Siegals website he states he is no longer affiliated with Smart For Life. I know Smart For Life cookie diet comes with a meal plan and you can also order shakes, soups and other supplements to the cookie diet. Is Dr. Siegals as good as Smart For Lifes and why is no longer affiliated with them? Please respond if u know the answers. I am looking to order one of the programs soon and just wondering why the affiliation stopped and which is better. Thanks
Google Girl,
Smart for life and Dr Siegal disolved their partnership in 2006
On February 7,2007, Dr Siegal sued
Smart for Life because they were still using his trademarks and images. You can read more about the lawsuit at: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/
