The cookie diet was created by Dr. Sanford Siegal in 1975. Dr. Siegal is a physician and a weight loss expert. The diet is simply eating six ‘special’ cookies each day. Not just any cookies but ones that Dr Siegal developed and ones that he will sell to you. There is also shakes that work along with the cookies.

Back to the diet, six cookies each day and a reasonable dinner and that’s it. If you read The cookie diet website this particular way of losing weight has been a complete success. There are even rip off cookie diets that are trying to cash in on Dr. Siegal success.

One problem that I see is that the total calories for the day are only 800. You can lose weigh fast but that many calories is awfully low. Another problem is the lack of fruit and vegetables, any good diet should have lots of fruits and vegetables. And one website suggested that the cookies didn’t taste very good.

Cookies that don’t taste good! I couldn’t put up with that.

Like other fad diets the cookie diet loses the weight fast which means you will probably will put the weight back on fast.
