    Celebrity weight-loss expert, physician, and author Dr. Sanford Siegal
    appeared on ABC's The View this morning and chatted about his ever-popular
    cookie-based diet and latest book with hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri
    Shepherd




    
</pre>
<p>NEW YORK, <chron>Dec. 18</chron> /CNW/ -- This morning on ABC's hit television show The View, renowned physician, author, and weight-loss expert <person>Dr. Sanford Siegal</person>, a regular feature in the national press, discussed his six-cookies-a-day weight loss program, hunger-satisfying foods, and latest book with hosts Whoopi Goldberg and <person>Sherri Shepherd</person>. On Monday, a <person>Dr. Siegal</person>'s COOKIE DIET® success story was inducted into The Joy Fit Club on NBC's Today Show.</p>
<p/>
<p><person>Dr. Siegal</person> is six months into a worldwide media tour to promote his latest book, <person>Dr. Siegal</person>'s Cookie Diet Book: How a Doctor and His Cookie Helped 500,000 People Lose Weight Fast (2009, Hyde Park Publishing Ltd., 320 pages, ISBN 978-0-9822728-3-19999).</p>
<p/>
<p>"I had a wonderful time talking about <person>Dr. Siegal</person>'s Cookie Diet with Sherri and Whoopi," said <person>Dr. Siegal</person>. "Everyone associated with The View was gracious and genuinely interested in presenting information that would benefit viewers who want to reach a more healthful weight."</p>
<p/>
<p><person>Dr. Siegal</person>'s appearance today on ABC's The View was his latest in a perpetual string of major broadcast and print media profiles. This year, the Miami-based physician's venerable weight-loss brand has appeared on the covers of People magazine and The Wall Street Journal, and in more than 200 other media outlets including The New York Times, ABC's Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, and Canada's CityTV network.</p>
<p/>
<p>"There are probably multiple reasons why the public is fascinated by <person>Dr. Siegal</person>'s Cookie Diet. Perhaps the most compelling reason is that it's been helping people lose weight for nearly 35 years whereas the lifespan of most diet approaches seems to be about fifteen minutes," said <person>Matthew Siegal</person>, president and CEO of <person>Dr. Siegal</person>'s Direct Nutritionals, LLC. "I think the world accepts that, after 35 years and well over 500,000 dieters, that doctor's funny-sounding diet with cookies is actually a sound approach that works."</p>
<p/>
<p><person>Dr. Siegal</person> conceived the idea of a diet based on a hunger-controlling cookie in the early 1970s while authoring a book about natural substances in food that are effective at satisfying hunger. He decided to engineer a snack food that would help his patients stick to the low-calorie diet he advocates.  After years of experimentation with family and friends, <person>Dr. Siegal</person> produced a formula for a proprietary mixture of amino acids that resulted from combining certain food substances. He baked cookies containing his protein formula and gave them to a few patients. <person>Dr. Siegal</person>'s COOKIE DIET® was an immediate success. His South Florida medical practice quickly grew to include 14 clinics and he began supplying his cookies and other foods to hundreds of other doctors throughout <location>North America</location>.</p>
<p/>
<p>In 2007, <person>Dr. Siegal</person> began offering his cookies, shake mixes, and other products to the general public through <a href="http://www.CookieDiet.com">www.CookieDiet.com</a> (which has more than 114,000 members) and retail stores.</p>
<p/>
<p>Although knockoff products have recently appeared, <person>Dr. Siegal</person>'s original cookie and weight-loss diet continues to enjoy a nearly 100 percent share of voice in the news media.</p>
<p/>
<p>"It's no mystery why nearly all of the focus is on <person>Dr. Siegal</person>," added <person>Matthew Siegal</person>. "I mean, a piece about entrepreneurs scheming to capitalize on somebody else's original idea doesn't exactly make for a compelling news story."</p>
