I discovered Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET(R) three years ago in a mall in Boca Raton, Florida, when my friend tried Dr. Siegal's cookies. She lost weight. I assumed there were illegal weight reducing compounds in the cookies, but when I tried to look up the ingredients I could not find them.
Dr. Sanford Siegal, known to generations as the Cookie Doctor(R) is the man behind the Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET(R) weight-loss system. He has author of books including Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet Book: How a Doctor and His Cookie Helped 500,000 People Lose Weight Fast.
Dr. Siegal introduced his diet in his South Florida medical practice in 1975 and it was an immediate success.
Eating to decrease appetite was not a new idea. Ayds (pronounced as "aids") was an appetite-suppressant candy which enjoyed strong sales in the 1970s and early 1980s. It was available in chocolate, chocolate mint, butterscotch or caramel flavors, and later a peanut butter flavor was introduced. The original packaging used the phrase "Ayds Reducing Plan vitamin and mineral Candy"; a later version used the phrase "appetite suppressant candy".
In 1944 the US Federal Trade Commission objected to the claim that the product could cause the user to “lose up to 10 pounds in 5 days, without dieting or exercising.” However, public awareness of the disease AIDS beginning around mid-1981 caused problems for the brand due to the phonetic similarity of names. By 1988 the product's name was changed to Diet Ayds (Aydslim in Britain), but eventually it was withdrawn from the market. It was about this time that Dr. Siegal came up with his cookie idea.
Eating six cookies a day he maintained enabled most of his patients to stick to the diet without significant hunger, and the fast weight loss they experienced kept them motivated until they reached their goal. At age 80, Dr. Siegal still personally mixes every batch of his proprietary protein formula in his private bakery near his Miami medical clinic. The cookie ingredients are, or at least have been a secret for 30 years. Siegal, however, still maintains his dark-of-night mixing routine and hints that there are subtleties in the recipe not apparent from the ingredient list.
Once a week Sanford Siegal makes a late-night visit to a bakery in Miami. There, he mixes cookie batter. When he's finished, 22 bakery workers pick up where he leaves off, stirring, baking and packaging 10 million cookies a year that Siegal, who keeps his exact recipe under wraps, sells for up to $1.50 each Siegal,
He maintains that there’s good reason for keeping his recipe a secret. He’s afraid of imitators. For most of the time, therefore, the osteopathic physician sold the cookies, without listing their ingredients.
Last year Siegal's son Matthew, 45, decided to help with his operation. Matthew launched a Web site called www.cookiedietonline. It now has 60,000 registered users and brings in slightly less than half of Siegal's cookie sales, which totaled $7.2 million for the year ended in May. Pretax profit, according to the Siegals: $2 million. Siegal senior owns 60% of the Web-based company. His son owns the rest. Matthew has overseen a massive public relations offensive for his dad, getting him on 15 TV and radio shows this year. When Madonna mentioned on a radio show in April that an unnamed cookie diet had depressed her husband's libido, instead of denying ownership- of the cookies the Siegals quickly claimed she was talking about Dr. Siegal's--and debunked her suggestion. So it doesn’t matter what they say about you—as long as your name is in the headlines.
Expanding the operation beyond his own medical practice, however, put Siegal within the realm of federal food guidelines. That took some of the mystery out of the magical diet food: He had to list ingredients.
The ingredients are
• wheat bran,
• egg white solids and
• to top it all of the real secret ingredient--microcrystalline cellulose.
This is a filler that isn't completely digestible except by termites. You might as well be eating sawdust or wood chips. It goes in whole in one end and goes out the other unchanged. But on the way hold on to a lot of water, which is the stomach acts to keep you full.

WHY IS THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET AN ADVANTAGE IN LONGEVITY?
What is the Mediterranean diet?
The Mediterranean diet is the traditional cooking style of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It is characterized by high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, high fiber foods, low intakes of saturated fats and a high intake of mono-saturated fats, such as olive oil and nuts. Fish is favored more often than meat because of its high source of omega-3s.
High protein options like lentils, beans and other legumes are also an important part of this diet. The Mediterranean diet incorporates the basics of healthy eating -- plus a splash of flavorful olive oil and perhaps a glass of red wine -- among other components.
Most healthy diets include fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains and limit unhealthy fats. While these parts of a healthy diet remain tried-and-true, subtle variations or differences in proportions of certain foods may make a difference in your risk of heart disease. Always consult your health physician before embarking on any new venture, as medicines can interact with certain food groups.
Key components of the Mediterranean diet include:
• Eating generous amount of fruits and vegetables daily
• Consuming healthy fats such as olive oil and canola oil avocadoes in moderation
• Eating small portions of nuts
• Drinking red wine, in moderation
• Consuming very little red meat if at all
• Eating fish on a regular basis
• Goat cheese is preferred choice over other cheeses
• Whole grain bread is eaten without butter or margarines, which contain saturated or Trans fats, because these contribute to heart disease.
This pyramid suggests amounts of serving of various food groups. Notice that the first component of this pyramid is exercise. All the doctors concurred that we should not underestimate the importance of daily activity, as it is a tremendous deterrent for any of above mentioned conditions.
Vegetables, nuts, olives, fruit and fish — and a pleasant, sunny climate! Mediterranean’s live long and eat well, there's no question. Their diet has scored praise from nutrition experts and culinary enthusiasts. But what is it about the diet exactly that makes it so healthy?
A new study by the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and the University of Athens Medical School in Greece breaks down the diet staples of the Mediterranean diet. Results were released in the online edition of the British Medical Journal.
Researchers looked at more than 23,000 Greek men and women participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) over eight and a half years. They found that certain foods in the diet may offer the bulk of the nutritional benefits.
As a surprise to us all the high consumption of fish and cereals that most of us associate with the diet, and the avoidance of dairy, did not impact the benefits of the overall diet. But the omission of prepackaged and processed foods with sugars and additives — commonly found in North American diets, probably also works in the Mediterranean diet’s advantage.
Other components of the diet driving the mortality benefit included:
• Low intake of mean and meat products (16.6% of the effect)
• High vegetable intake (16.2% of the effect)
• High fruit and nut consumption (11.2% of the effect)
• High monounsaturated-to-saturated fat intake (10.6% of the effect)
• High intake of legumes (9.7% of the effect)
• High cereal intake and low dairy consumption were the lowest contributors to the mortality effect, accounting for 6.1% and 4.5%, respectively
Moderate alcohol intake may be the single biggest contributor to the Mediterranean diet's longevity benefit, accounting for 23.5% of the effect in a prospective cohort study. The researchers defined moderate intake as 10 to <50 grams of alcohol per day. But subtracting alcohol as a component, the Mediterranean diet still appeared to contribute significantly to a long life.
But before running to your nearest bar for your daily allotment--you must pay attention to this.
Although moderate drinking may help protect against some chronic diseases, alcohol's net effect on health is profoundly negative around the world, researchers reported in the June 27, 2009 issue of The Lancet. Rehm J, et al "Global burden of alcohol diseases.” According to this study, the harms associated with alcohol vastly outweigh the benefits both globally and in the U.S.
In 2004, alcohol cost the world nearly 71 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) -- years of life lost to premature death or lived with disability, "Overall, their analysis shows that alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for burden of disease."
Alcohol is linked to many disease categories. Alcohol-use disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, liver cirrhosis, and injury are the most important disease categories causally affected by alcohol. Although light to moderate drinking may have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease, this benefit is restricted to older people only," they say. Moreover, such benefits are swamped by the negative effects of heavy drinking, which often affect younger people who have more DALYs to lose The analysis also showed that for much of the world, the beneficial effects of alcohol are essentially irrelevant because of drinking habits, demographics, and lower prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease

PART III OF III -FDA ALERT ON DANGERS OF WEIGHT LOSS PRODUCTS
The agency advises consumers to discontinue use of these supplements and then to consult their healthcare provider.
Bumex carries a Boxed Warning because the drug may lead to serious and significant fluid and electrolyte loss. Another potential risk associated with the use of bumetanide is elevation in uric acid concentrations. Consumers should not take bumetanide if they are allergic to sulfonamides. Significant drug interactions, such as taking bumetanide with digoxin and lithium, may lead to an increased risk of toxicity. Consumers may also be at an increased risk of hypotension (low blood pressure), fainting, and resultant injury if they have normal blood pressure or are already taking an antihypertensive medication. The risk of toxic reactions to the drug may be greater in elderly consumers or consumers with impaired kidney function.
Cetilistat is an experimental obesity drug and is currently the subject of clinical trials in the U.S., Japan, and Europe. Because cetilistat is in clinical trials, there is no safety or efficacy profile for this drug. Consumers in certain populations, however, could face serious health risks if taking cetilistat. For example, transplant patients taking anti-rejection drugs could suffer organ rejection. Cetilistat is also contraindicated with warfarin and levothyroxine as this could cause increased risk of bleeding and hypothyroidism. The majority of adverse events associated with ingestion of cetilistat are gastrointestinal in nature; e.g., fecal incontinence, rectal discharge, and defecation urgency. Because cetilistat decreases the absorption of fat, this may result in fatty or oily stool which could lead to malabsorption of nutrients and vitamin deficiency. Other adverse events include skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders. Cetilstat may reduce serum concentrations of vitamin E, vitamin D, and beta-carotene. Other safety concerns include the development of gallstones and kidney stones.
Fenproporex is a stimulant not approved for marketing in the United States. Fenproporex, an amphetamine derivative, is a schedule IV controlled substance and could show up positive for amphetamines in a urinalysis. Serious adverse effects of stimulants include headache, tachycardia, increased breathing rate, increased blood pressure, fever, sweating, diarrhea, constipation, blurred vision, impaired speech, dizziness, uncontrollable movements or shaking, insomnia, numbness, palpitations, arrhythmia and possible sudden death.
Fluoxetine is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Prozac, a prescription antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. Prozac carries a Boxed Warning because it and other antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thinking and suicide in children, adolescents, and young adults. Additional potential risks from exposure to this drug include rashes, hives, and the potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome or Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, which is characterized by changes in mental status, pulse, blood pressure, body temperature, and muscle control. Fluoxetine is also associated with nausea, diarrhea, headache, insomnia and anxiety.
Furosemide is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Lasix, a potent diuretic which is available only through prescription for use in the treatment of congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, and edema. It can cause profound dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, with loss of potassium, calcium, sodium, and magnesium. Patients allergic to sulfonamides may also be allergic to furosemide. Serious adverse effects from overdose may lead to dehydration, seizures, GI problems, kidney damage, lethargy, collapse, and coma.
Phenolphthalein was an ingredient in some Over-the-Counter laxative products until 1999 when the FDA reclassified the drug as “not generally recognized as safe and effective” after studies indicated that phenolphthalein presented a potential carcinogenic risk. Phenolphthalein has also been found to be genotoxic in that it can damage or cause mutations to DNA.
Phenytoin is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Dilantin, an approved anti-seizure medication. Because there were trace amounts of this drug in some of these products, the risk was not assessed. However, these products could pose a risk to consumers who are allergic or hypersensitive to phenytoin.
Rimonabant is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Zimulti which has not been approved in the United States. In Europe the drug is known as Acomplia. In June 2007, the FDA Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee unanimously voted not to recommend approval of the drug because of increased risk of neurological and psychiatric side effects—seizures, depression, anxiety, insomnia, aggressiveness, and suicidal thoughts among patients. In June of 2008, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency of the United Kingdom linked rimonabant to 5 deaths and 720 adverse reactions over the past two years.
In October, the European Medicines Agency recommended Sibutramine is a Schedule IV controlled substance and the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Meridia, an approved prescription drug to treat obesity.Some of the identified products recommend taking more than 3 times the recommended daily dosage of sibutramine. Because of this, even consumers without a history of health problems that take these high doses of sibutramine may suffer serious adverse effects if they take these products, such as increased blood pressure, tachycardia, palpitations, and seizure.
Populations who would be at increased risk of serious adverse health effects from consuming a standard dose of sibutramine include:
• Patients with a history of hypertension, especially those with uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension.
• Patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke.
• Patients with narrow angle glaucoma.
• Patients with a history of seizure.
• Patients predisposed to bleeding events and those taking concomitant medications known to affect hemostasis or platelet function.
• Patients with severe hepatic dysfunction.
• Patients concurrently taking the following medications:
o Sumatriptan
o Dihydroergotamine
o Dextromethorphan
o Meperidine,
o Pentazocine
o Fentanyl
o Lithium
o Tryptophan
o MAO inhibitors
