MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Siegal's Direct Nutritionals, LLC,
worldwide distributor of the venerable Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET(R)
hunger-busting cookies and shake mixes and the operator of web site
CookieDiet.com (http://www.cookiediet.com), today announced that it is
featured in the cover story of the current issue of People magazine. The story
(http://tinyurl.com/ay7rt6) profiles six men and women who have lost half
their weight, a total of nearly 1,000 pounds.
Among the newly-svelte participants is Josie Raper of Phoenix, Arizona,
who went from 240 to just 119 lbs. by using Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET(R) foods
to control her hunger and help her stick to a reduced-calorie diet.
"I'm delighted that People chose a Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet success story
for its cover," said Dr. Sanford Siegal, the Miami-based weight loss expert
who created the original cookie-based weight loss program in 1975. "Josie
looks wonderful, and her accomplishment should serve as an inspiration to
everyone that they, too, can achieve a healthy weight."
Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET(R) was created 34 years ago by the Cookie
Doctor(TM), renowned physician, author, and weight loss expert Sanford Siegal,
D.O., M.D., in order to control his patients' hunger and enable them to
faithfully adhere to the reduced-calorie diet that he prescribes in his South
Florida medical practice, Siegal Medical Group. More than 500,000 of Dr.
Siegal's own patients, and those of 200 other physicians he has supplied, have
lost weight with the help of his hunger-controlling foods.
The hunger-suppressing quality of Dr. Siegal's cookies, shake mixes, and
soup comes from his proprietary amino acid mixture that results from the
blending of various protein food substances. For thirty-four years, Dr. Siegal
has personally mixed every batch of his secret protein formula with his own
hands in his private bakery near his Miami medical clinic. The formula is
known only to Dr. Siegal and his wife who often joins him in his bakery for
the three to four hour formula-mixing sessions.
Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET(R) hunger-controlling foods and nutritional
supplements are available online at http://www.CookieDiet.com ; by phone 24/7
at 877-377-4342 toll-free; and from select doctors, drug stores and retailers.
They're also available at company-owned kiosks in Paradise Valley Mall and
Chandler Fashion Center in Phoenix, AZ; Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, FL;
Dadeland Mall in Miami, FL; The Galleria Mall in Ft. Lauderdale, FL; and
Cherry Hill Mall in the Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill, NJ. A Dr. Siegal's
COOKIE DIET(R) store will open in Beverly Hills on January 15, 2009.
