Hey Dr. Siegal , I just got my first set of cookies. GNC and all other stores were comletely sold out. My goal is to lose 30 pounds. My question is can you drink milk with the cookies?

DR.SIEGAL REPLIES: I have to confess that you're message gave me a good chuckle. As much as I enjoy milk and cookies like the next person, I'm afraid that milk is ill-advised on a weight-loss diet. Milk is loaded with sugars and that's not what you want when trying to keep hunger in check. As for the cookies being sold out at many stores, we're aware of the problem. Demand has skyrocketed recently. But I increased production and don't expect the temporary shortage to happen again.

My goal is to lose 20 lbs. for increased energy and to improve my overall health. I wanted a jumpstart and, after looking around, I began this diet on October 29th 2009. I am down 6 lbs. after 8 days. My energy is already on the rise and I am seeing a change in the way my clothes fit. I am also sleeping better...which is an unexpected bonus. As far as the diet goes... I look forward to my meal at night but really do not feel hungry during the day. I eat the cookies and am following the suggestions. After 8 days I am still very motivated. I think it is because I am never hungry. These cookies are working as promised.

I've been struggling with my weight problem my entire life. After I found Dr. Siegal's product, I immediately consulted my physician and we decided it was time for me to make a change and be serious about my diet. I was instructed to consume 1200 calories a day with plenty of water and a daily vitamin tablet. I have just received my box of cookies and cannot wait to start. I am currently 175lbs at 5'2" and plan to lose at least 60lbs.
Thank you Dr. Siegal for this opportunity!

DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: Thank you, Brenda, for getting off to a great start by involving your doctor in the process. There is no better way to ensure success on any diet.

I started the cookie diet on Monday and was off to a great start. However, staying full till dinner gets worse everyday. I go to the gym 5 times a week and I am not sure i have the energy to workout in the evening before dinner, when I'm starving ! I am going to stick with it because I have lost 5 pounds in only 3 days! Only 25 more to go ! With results like this I guess I just have to keep eating cookies.

DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: I'm a big fan of exercise as the way to keep the weight off for life. But if you're going to the gym five times a week while on a diet, and particularly if you're hungry, it's quite possible that you need to consume more calories to compensate for the ones you're burning off. Make sure you factor in the calories you burn through exercise when determining your true daily caloric intake.

I started the Dr. Siegal's cookie diet 3 days ago and have lost 3 lbs. The best part is I really think they are good. I have my favorite flavors, but actually look foward to eating them. Plus, I am not hungry in between and am full with a small lean cuisine for dinner. I am so excited about this diet. I only wish I had found it much sooner. I have about 80 lbs to loose and would love to do so by summer!!

DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: Great start, Jennifer! Now, to determine whether your goal is realistic, and how to ensure you reach it, be sure to use the weight-loss calculators in the Resources section.

HI, I started the Cookie Diet on 10/26 and have lost 10 pounds already! I am not eating all the six cookies suggested although I am having a 500 calorie meal for dinner. I am getting by with between 2-3 cookies a day and am not hungry for more. Is that OK not to eat all 6 cookies? Also, I have a question regarding frozen dinners...they all seem to have carbs such as rice, pasta or potatoes...so carbs are okay in frozen dinners you have suggested or any other frozen dinner as long as calories and protein count is good? Am I okay with lower than 1000/1200 calories a day as long as I am not hungry? Love the cookies and they really work!!
Betty, Miami, FL, United States, November 04 2009
DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: I'm glad you're seeing results and that your motivation is high. As for the number of calories you should consume, that is a matter to be discussed with your doctor. Lower is not necessarily better. If you're serious about getting to the finish line, visit your doctor and discuss what is the right amount of calories for you.

I was desperate seeing my daughter turn from a beautiful 5'7 150 lbs to a still beautiful but dangerous 310 lbs! - I pleaded with her and she went on the Dr. Siegal diet about 2-1/2 months ago, she has lost 32 lbs already! - She resides in Miami, and I am so looking for to go to Miami in December to see the results! Nothing worked before and she loves the cookies! Thank you Dr Siegal!
Mirtha, Alexandria, VA, United States, November 04 2009
DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: Thank you, Mirtha, for taking the time to share your story. I don't know whether or not your daughter is my patient here in Miami but, whoever her doctor is, she should check in frequently with him or her to maximize her prospects of reaching her goal weight.

Hello, I have been on the cookie diet for the last week and so far have been seeing results that I am very happy with. My mother noticed as well and would like to try to go on the cookie diet, only problem is that she has type B diabetes (not using insulin). Would she be able to go on the cookie diet? Or would that affect her sugar levels too much?
Mary, Montreal, Canada, November 04 2009
DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: I'm delighted that you're sticking to your diet and seeing results, Mary. As for your mother and her diabetes, that's a medical question that only her doctor can answer. Urge her to consult her doctor before making any changes to her diet.

Hi, I started a week ago. If it keeps coming off like this I'll be a lifer. I got a long way to go though. I'll keep you all posted.

Well today is Monday, day 1. I just had foot surgery a few days ago & am layed up, doing nothing. What better time to start a diet. I like many people saw GMA and ordered immediately. My goal is to be 30 lbs. thinner by February 1. The testimonials are great..so I am hoping for great results as well. My exercise has to be upper body for a while along with this diet-so we'll see. Wish me luck!
Debbie, Blairstown, NJ, United States, November 02 2009
DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: I do wish you luck, Debbie, even though luck has nothing to do with it. Follow a reduced calorie diet and I guarantee you'll lose weight. Your goal (30 pounds in three months) requires you to lose ten pounds a month. That's not an uncommon rate at which to lose but it requires discipline. If you're serious about succeeding, be sure to have your doctor monitor your diet. Also, consider using the calculators found in the Resources section of CookieDiet.com.
