While knockoff products have come and gone, the real Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET is more popular than ever. Hundreds of media outlets, including Today Tonight, The Wall Street Journal, People magazine, The New York Times, ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s Today Show, and Entertainment Tonight, have profiled Dr. Sanford Siegal and his famous, hunger-controlling cookies. That kind of notoriety doesn’t happen overnight.

Dr. Sanford Siegal began practcing medicine in Miami in 1957 and has been limiting his South Florida medical practice to the treatment of overweight patients since 1960.

1975 TO APRIL 2011

Dr. Sanford Siegal created his famous cookies in 1975 to help patients of his Miami, Florida medical practice, Siegal Medical Group, control their hunger and stick to his reduced-calorie diet. To this day, Dr. Siegal mixes every batch of his secret amino acid protein blend with his own hands in his private bakery.

From 1975 to 2002, Dr. Siegal’s foods and weight-loss approach were only available from doctors. From 2002 to 2006, Dr. Siegal allowed a company to open diet center franchises that used his name and weight-loss method, and his cookies and other products. The company opened centers under various names including Siegal Smart for Life Weight Management Centers. The relationship ended in August 2006, at which time Dr. Siegal stopped supplying his products to that company.

In 2007, Dr. Siegal and his son, Matthew Siegal, launched a new company to bring Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET directly to consumers through a web site, CookieDiet.com (over 135,000 members), and retail stores. As CEO, Matt has led the expansion of Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET into an international brand.

By 1975, Dr. Siegal’s reputation as a medical expert on the treatment of obesity was well established.
