Cookies? Can you really lose weight by eating cookies? You are probably rolling your eyes right now and thinking that the very idea violates the Golden Rule of weight loss. You know,Can You Really Lose Weight Eating Cookies? Articles the rule that decrees: "Thou shalt not eat processed carbs". And, actually, you would be right. Simple carbohydrates, such as sugar, will make us fat. But what if it was possible to devise a super-nutritional cookie that was formulated from a protein base, rather than from a sugar base? Ah, now that would be interesting. A way to have our cookie and eat it, too!

Back in 1975, Dr. Sanford Siegal was asking these same questions. He noticed that many of the patients in his Florida medical practice really struggled with their weight. Upon further reflection, Dr. Siegal realized that the biggest obstacle his overweight patients faced was an inability to control their appetites. They had good intentions about curbing their calorie intake, but just didn't follow through on those intentions. He needed to come up with something that would help those patients control their appetites and stick to their diets.

Dr. Siegal turned to the research and writings of 18th- and 19th-century physicians and scientists to uncover the historical underpinnings of weight-loss science. All of his careful observation and research eventually resulted in Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet. Working in his own laboratory, Dr. Siegal invented a cookie recipe based on a secret amino acid protein blend. He started baking batches of these cookies and giving them to patients as part of a calorie-restricted diet. His research paid off -- the protein-based cookies satisfied nutritional needs and helped his patients feel full, while satisfying an emotional need to eat cookies!

Dr. Siegal has been making his special cookie recipe for almost thirty-five years and a few changes have been made. But one thing that hasn't changed is the fact that Dr. Siegal still personally hand-mixes every single batch of cookies that comes out of his private bakery.  But in keeping with the times, the special protein recipe is available in the form of shakes, as well as cookies.

So what do these cookies taste like? Well, they come in five different flavors including oatmeal, chocolate, blueberry, banana and coconut. While you wouldn't mistake them for a TollHouse cookie, most users seem to enjoy them enough to stick to their diets. Some users even continue to use the cookies after they reach their goal weight, but just as snacks to control their appetite.
