The Original Cookie Diet
The original cookie diet/diet cookie was first introduced in 1975 by Dr. Sanford Siegal. At that time he made diet cookies, soup, shakes and other nutritional supplements. All of these were made directly out of Dr. Siegal’s South Florida bakery. When the diet cookies first came out they were only available through certain physicians which Dr. Siegal dealt directly with. Since then several other people and companies have come out with their own brand name diet cookies and cookie diets. Amino acid protein formulas are what made the diet cookies special. These ingredients helped patients control their hunger. At the time a cookie was chosen due to its small size and popularity. These diet cookies tended to work best when the blood sugar level of the patients were kept low. Due to this patients taking this miracle diet cookie were forbidden to have any carbohydrates during the day. The carbohydrates counteracted against the diet cookie, thus rendering it useless. It wasn’t until the 1980’s when mass production of Dr. Siegals diet cookies started. He was supplying fourteen clinics in Florida and ten clinics in South American and Mexico. Near the end of the 1990’s the diet cookie was available to over 200 other physicians. In 2002 Dr. Siegal Cookie diet was finally franchised.
