Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet - eat more to eat less and lose more

Last year I was joking about undergoing Chocolate Diet because I got tired of holding back on chocolates. After a few months, I discovered that a somewhat "Chocolate Diet" actually exists. Semi-sweet chocolate, or even better semi-sweet dark chocolate, apparently is low in saturated fat and is actually high in mono-unsaturated fat.

So what about mono-unsaturated fat? That's where the (Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acids) MUFA-rich diet comes in. MUFA-rich diet is supposed to help you lose belly fat. Yes, it targets that particular nasty area.

The most common MUFA-rich foods are
1. Semi Sweet Chocolate
2. Olive Oil/Vegetable Oil/Canola Oil (a great excuse for deep fried dishes!)
3. Avocado
4. Peanuts (peanut butter)
5. Almonds, Cashews, etc.

But that was all just an introduction :)

Here comes Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet.

*picture unrelated*

If Chocolates are actually good, then why can't cookies be? Because Oprah said so. It was on Oprah where I found that most commercial mouthwatering cookies (I LOVE/HATE YOU KEEBLER ELF) actually have such a component that tricks your brain into thinking "I want more. This is good. I can't stop."

But Dr. Siegel said he has his own recipe which suppresses the appetite. But just so we're on the safe side, you should eat at least one meal and it can have 300-800 calories - we wouldn't want anyone fainting - alongside 6 pieces of cookies a day (90 calories for each pack of cookies).

Sounds good. But I want proof. I look at his list of Hollywood clients:
Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Mandy Moore, Guy Ritchie, Howard Stern...

jennifer hudson
kelly clarkson
mandy moore


I think the product failed to say that it's not particularly compatible with a woman's metabolism. Well I guess Oprah was right.

    regarding optimizing the title tags in your blog..

    Your blog titles have already changed t the format Post title ~ Blog Title You can see this in your browser.. It will take time for the changes to appear in google.. The pages have to be re crawled for this to happen..so this will take time.. It wont happen all of a sudden. so please wait a lil.. :)

  4. the cookie diet is great,I Have my whole family is on it they are all diabetics - were over weight and my father in- law had a whole bunch of bypasses… THe cookies just give you something to eat… be honest, who really stops and eats something healthy every 2 hours — If you don[’t eat every 3 hrs you are putting yourself into type 2 diabetes ( a disease WE do to ourselves!!!) Cookies just stop you from putting yourself in “emergency Mode” so you don’t store fat…
    They have puddings, Shakes, Brownies, NO Calorie chocolate dip, caramel, BBQ sauce, maple syrup and Salad Dressing!! & their Maranades are great
    I go to the one in Jupiter On Indian Town Rd ( Florida) I get all my stuff there they can send you stuff they said (561)745-4888

  5. I tried Dr. Siegals cookie diet and i was successful up until i hit my goal weight. I lost 45 lbs. in a matter of 4 1/2 months. Dr. Siegal does not have a maintenance program set out so, i was basically on my own from there. Within 2 months i gained it all back and more, thats when i found Smart For Life they are like Dr. Siegals diet except their product is all organic and they have a maintenance program set out for when you loose all of your weight. Thanks to Smart For Life I got all of the weight off and i am now on their maintenance program. If this sounds familiar and you are ready to be commited and get the weight off check out smart for lifes website it helped me so much.
