Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet offers an appealing weight-loss method that does not exclude sweets and includes eating real food. The diet features Siegal's specialty cookies, which have been designed to regulate appetite and hunger levels. At 90 calories each, the cookies are made of whole-wheat flour, bran, oats, and a secret amino acid protein blend. The protein has a satiating effect on the appetite and helps control blood sugar levels. The cookie diet plan requires eating six cookies during the day when hungry, followed by a healthy dinner meal focusing on vegetables and lean meat or fish.
Vegetables
Vegetables are low in calories, fat and sugar and are a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A and C found in bell peppers, Vitamin E and iron in spinach and leafy greens, and potassium in sweet potatoes. Vegetables are a filling food due to their high water and fiber content; you can eat a large volume of vegetables while ingesting a small number of calories. Include two to three servings of fresh, unprocessed vegetables a day at dinner.
Lean Meats
Protein-rich foods included on the cookie diet's meal plan include lean meat, such as chicken, turkey, beef or pork. Lean meats are a healthy source of protein and iron, are low in fat and have little to now carbohydrates and sugar. Include one serving of meat at your daily dinner meal. A serving of meat is about the size of a deck of cards or the palm of your hand.
Fish
Fish is a healthy high-protein, low-fat, low-carb option for your dinner meal while on the cookie diet. Fatty fish such as salmon, herring and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for skin growth and repair and vitamin absorption. Cod, tuna and halibut are also good choices. Have fish as your protein option once or twice a week.
