cookie diet | dr siegal s cookie diet

Eat cookies whenever you want and still lose weight! But don't picture sugar cookies with sprinkles and gingerbread men, these are not your regular cookies. Dr. Seigal has created the "Cookie Diet"--which is a weight-loss system that helps control hunger with cookies and shakes. Creating in 1975 by Dr. Seigal in Miami, FL to help his patients curb their hunger and stay on their diets. Are you, like me, still thinking: but with cookies? There is are other "Cookie Diet" brands that all set out to do the same with as Dr. Seigal's, like Smart for Life and Hollywood's Cookie Diet.



The cookie diets encourages you to eat cookies spaced out through the day. These cookies are prepackaged and contain things like glycerin and protein powder. They want you to eat these cookies instead of breakfast and lunch, then a a reasonable dinner of lean protein and vegetables. centered on a single food go back for decades, remember the cabbage soup diet, or the yogurt diet, even the Special K Diet today.

But do they work?

All nutritionists and fitness trainers say that if you take in less calories than you burn in a day you will lose weight--maybe not dramatically, but weight will be lost. However, there is a long list of concerns with the cookie diet. Some nutritionists say that eating fewer than 1,000 calories a day can throw your body into "conservation" mode, slowing your metabolism down drastically and really slowing down weight-loss.

Dinner and late night snacker are the biggest issues for dieters--they make it through the day, but by dinner they are starving, hence the overeating and binging. This is unbalanced nutrition, making it very hard to get all the servings of fruits and vegetables your body needs.
