The first week I was on this diet I only lost 1 lb. I wrote in with my concern and a rep. from the company e-mailed me back and basically told me to hang in there cause everyone is different and sometimes a lot of weight loss doesn't happen right away. She assured me that I would see results in the second week, and she was right. As of today, I have been on this diet for 4 weeks and have lost 10 lbs. I am 5'9" and started out at 162 lbs. I am now 152. I want to get down to 140, which is my ideal weight. So, I just wanted to thank your rep. for e-mailing me and giving me the boost that I needed.

I've used this product for one month and am happy to say that I've lost 7 lbs. I need to loose 16 more to reach my goal. This cookie diet works for me because I don't have to worry about what I will eat for breakfast, snacks, and lunch. I look forward to eating a balanced meal for dinner. Also, starting menopause and gaining weight it has been hard loosing, but not with this plan. This was a God send for me. I walked into the health food store in town and noticed the cookies. I decided to check out the website. After reading the testimonies and seeing the results from others I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. What really inspired me also is the fact that I like eating small convenient meals during the day. These cookies don't make me crave other foods. On other weight lost plans I always end up craving the wrong foods. Not with these cookies. I eat them and am satisfied.

I had to write to help anyone else who was trying to decide if they should take the chance on yet another diet product. I am 5’6” and on 2/22/2010 I weighed 177.5 (in the am, when I always weigh myself). As of today, I am 174. And still going!!!
I have been struggling with loosing my baby weight after the birth of my son. I have a 3 year old and my boy just turned one. My husband works evenings and weekends, so I rarely have time to work out. And I have a 40+ hr/wk desk job. Clearly this means I have to consume less calories in order to loose the weight. But I’m always derailed by hunger and snack attacks. That’s where the cookies were perfect.
The first day was tough, but they truly do appease the hunger, and they are a ‘snack’ kind of food, so they are fun to eat. I like the way they taste (I have the chocolate and the oatmeal raisin). They are easy to eat when I’m at home running after the kids, too. I am truly pleased and excited with the results. Actually, I know I would have lost more but Saturday I attended a wine party with tons of appetizers. I tried to make healthy choices, but I’m sure the salt intake alone caused some water retention!
I am on to my second week, feeling more optimism in this weight loss journey than I have felt in the last year. My pre-baby goal weight of 155 is a reality again!!! Thank you for a great product, Dr. Siegal. (ps. I'll post pictures later!)

i just bought the cookies today from my local GNC store. I have a question about switching up the flavors. Can I incorporate different flavors of cookies througout the day? For instance can I have 3 chocolate and 3 oatmeal rasin and still be following the plan correctly. One more thing can I also drink a shake during the day as well. I read that a shake substitutes 2 cookies throughout the day. Sorry to be such a pest but I want to make sure I do this right so I can succeed :)

DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: Great questions, Sara. Yes, you can mix the cookie flavors throughout the day. Most people use them that way. And yes, you can substitute a shake for two cookies. For even more variety, try using diet (zero calorie) orange soda or root beer instead of water when making a vanilla shake. It's very good.

I bought my first box of cookies today from GNC I currently weigh 275 Ilbs and I am 5'6. My goal weight is 195. I dont have any pictures because I never take full body pictures anymore. So I am going to take one and after the weight loss I will put up before and after.

I have lost 20 lbs so far and love the cookies, they are great to just grab a bag and go for the day. Question: Can I have the meal at lunch then continue with the cookies for dinner?
Bonnie, San Diego, CA, United States, February 17 2010
DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: While I'm wary about tampering with a formula that has worked so well for decades, there's no harm in giving it a try. If you find yourself too hungry by bed time (and I believe that will be the case), then go back to the suggested regimen of six cookies during the day and dinner in the evening.

I have been using the cookie diet since 1/11/10. I have lost 20.4 lbs so far. However I do have a question Dr. Siegal. There are many days that I find I only need 4 cookies. I have also had a few days when I have only needed 3. And there was one day when I only needed 2 cookies to get me to dinner. Should I make myself eat at least 4 per day, or do I need more? I am on the 1'000 calorie diet. Please advice me on this matter.
Ellen, Suitland, MD, United States, February 16 2010
DR. SIEGAL REPLIES: You say you're on a 1,000 calorie diet and yet there are days when you eat fewer than 6 cookies. I, therefore, must conclude that on days when you eat fewer cookies you make up the calories at dinner. I'd rather see you eat 6 cookies a day plus a 500 calorie dinner because that approach has worked for hundreds of thousands of people and I don't like tampering with something that works so well. Ultimately, however, you should seek your doctor's opinion on this question.
