Can a Cookie Diet Help You Lose Weight?

Let's face it: hunger wrecks diets™. No matter how motivated you are, it's nearly impossible to
stick to a diet when you're hungry. That's why renowned physician, author, and weight loss
expert Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D., created the real Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® hunger-
controlling foods more than thirty years ago. Dr. Siegal's meal replacement diet cookies and
shakes contain his secret blend of amino acids (food proteins) that curb your appetite without
drugs and enable you to stick to the diet that your own doctor supervises.

Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET® weight-loss system and hunger-controlling cookies and shake
mixes were created in 1975 by Dr. Sanford 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 mixes every batch of his secret amino acid protein blend with his own hands in his
private bakery.

In early 2007, in response to many requests, Dr. Siegal decided to offer his products directly to
the public, online, by phone, and in stores. He and his son, Matthew Siegal, formed a new
company to take Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® directly to consumers for the first time.

CookieDietOnline.com, the  original web site, was launched in May 2007. Shortly thereafter we
began opening Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET® retail kiosks in shopping malls across the United
States. Our new web site, CookieDiet.com, launched in December 2008. Our first full-size retail
store opened in Beverly Hills in January 2009. Our products are also available from  more than
2,100 physicians, drug stores, and other retailers, including many GNC and Walgreens stores.

Early in his career, Dr. Siegal realized that 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 food
substances in a particular way produces a mixture of proteins that offers 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’s COOKIE DIET® cookies and shakes are very flexible. If your goal is to lose weight,
they’ll control your hunger and help you stick to almost any reduced-calorie diet, whether it’s Dr.
Siegal’s COOKIE DIET® Weight Loss Program or another. If you’re already at your goal weight,
use our foods as healthier alternatives to snack foods that are higher in fat, calories and
carbohydrates.

Dr. Siegal, his books, and his famous cookie-based diet have been featured in dozens of print,
broadcast, and online media including The View, Good Morning America, The Wall Street
Journal, Fox News, CNN, Forbes, the Los Angeles Times, Globe and Mail, and People.
