I just started this diet on Monday, November 16th. I bought a whole month supply worth of chocolate cookies from the Beverly Hills store. The cookies taste great despite what others have said. I started out with 190 lbs and have not weighed myself yet. I believe I should wait a week before doing so to notice some significant weight loss. I am not eating all six cookies as suggested because I do not get hungry as much. I only eat four cookies and have a frozen dinner with a vegetable such as a cucumber. It comes out to less than a 1,000 calories but my doctor suggested that i go on a diet anyway. Is it okay if i'm only eating four cookies out of six?

CONSUMER RELATIONS REPLIES: You should seek and follow your doctor's advice as to the right number of calories for you. Don't assume that the fewer calories you consume the greater success you'll enjoy for that isn't always the case.

This is my second day on the diet and I'm doing good so far. I don't feel hungry and I only had four cookies yesterday and one today so far (12:36pm). My question is do I have to eat all six cookies or I can eat less?

DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: I frequently hear from my own patients that fewer than six cookies are enough to satisfy their hunger. Since you aren't my patient, my advice is to consult your doctor who, based on your medical history, is most qualified to advise and monitor you while you're on any diet.

I have been on the diet for 3 days and have lost 6 lbs - what a great jump start! I too like would like to have a "chat room" or interactive support site for others that are on this same diet plan. Certainly the quick weight loss is encouraging but support from others would be an added benefit!

Hello, I started the diet on Oct. 23, 2009 buying a one months supply. Today is day 21 on the diet and I've lost 18 lbs 212lbs to 194lbs.. I can't believe I lost that much. I ordered my second months batch (because shipping seems to take about a week ). I'm really happy about this diet. It is so simple to follow and I haven't had any headaches or bad mood swings as I've had following other diet plans. I eat my meal (between 300-450 calories) a little earlier then suggest (between 3-4pm) that seems to work better for my body. I take my multi vitamin as well as a few others and drink plenty of water and green tea only. I'm hoping to stay on this diet for 3 months then re evaluate. It is working for me and I'm thrilled.
A question though for the staff: How come there is no place for chat/tips/support/ encouragement for those on the cookie diet. I've searched the internet and really have found most people putting down this diet and not welcoming cookie dieters in their forums or just ignored. It would be nice to be able to share this experience with others doing it, so far it's been a lonely diet.
I will update how I'm making out on this diet again.
Thank's Dr. Seigal

DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: Wow indeed, Beth. If motivation is a key to successful weight loss (and believe me, it is), then you are as certain as anyone to succeed!

I began this diet on Oct 24,2009 as of today Nov 10 I have lost 15 lbs. I would never have gotten my kick start if it hadn't been for the cookie. I plan on being 170 by February 2010.. I do have a question can you have almond milk on this diet? Thank you Dr. Siegal for giving me back my life and personality.
Debbie, Newland, NC, United States, November 10 2009
DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: You're welcome, Debbie. I'm glad my cookie helped but the hard part was yours. As for almond milk, I wouldn't recommend it. It's loaded with carbs (sugar) and will likely leave you hungry.

I just started this diet a week ago and it does work! It is the first diet I have been on and havent been hungry at all. I havent had a headache. At first the thought of one meal a day is a bit scary but I cant believe I am doing it and I am fine! Thank you for making something that really works!

I started the cookie diet on November 1st and have lost six pounds. The cookies taste good (especially the chocolate!), and control the hunger until dinner time. The best thing about this diet (besides the fast weight loss) is it teaches you to feed your hunger rather than your emotions. I'm excited, and I know this one will work!!
Kelly , Springfield, IL, United States, November 08 2009
DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: I'm glad to hear that you're off to a good start, Kelly. As for teaching you better eating habits, if it does, then the explanation falls under what is known as the Law of Unintended Consequences. I created my cookies simply as a means of controlling my patients' hunger and enabling them to stick to a low calorie diet. I hear comments like yours all the time and I'm happy if the phenomenon people report is real. But I can't claim to have deliberately created a product that "teaches" anything.
