Eat Cookies to Lose Weight!

The cookie diet by Dr. Sanford Siegal has dieters everywhere pretty excited. Experts are not as thrilled with this latest diet fad, and have called the diet unhealthy. The diet is not exactly like it sounds, though. The cookies, are actually special cookies, that only have 90 calories. They are made up of a combination of amino acids.

Dr. Sanford Siegal is a doctor that has treated 100s of overweight patients. This cookie diet has been around since the 1970s, but was recently featured on a popular morning news show. One woman has gone public with her weight loss results. Josie Rapper has stated she used the cookie diet to drop 120 pounds.

The diet consists of eating a total of six special cookies throughout the day, and then a very low calorie dinner, consisting of only 500 calories. The diet requires a person to drink a lot of water as well. Although a person would be getting a total of 1000 calories a day, they are not exactly healthy calories. Nutritionists are very concerned that somebody that tries this diet, will be missing out on needed fruits and vegetables.

The diet is designed to help a dieter drop calories quickly, in order to keep them encouraged. Eating 1000 calories a day, will certainly do the trick. Most doctors and nutritionists recommend not dropping below 1,200 calories a day.
