Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D., who created the Cookie Diet™ in 1975, announces the imminent availability of his hunger-controlling diet cookies from physicians in Mexico

Miami, FL (PRWEB) April 24, 2007 -- Renowned physician, author and weight loss expert Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D., today announced that his famous Dr. Siegal's® Cookie Diet™ hunger-controlling cookies soon will be available from doctors in Mexico through an arrangement with a local company that specializes in distributing products to physicians. The distributor serves several hundred medical practices in Mexico.

"We're very well-known in Mexico so this is a logical step for us," said Dr. Siegal. "A number of years ago I had a medical practice called Centro Medico Siegal that had several weight loss clinics in the Mexico City area. I sold my Mexican clinics well over a decade ago when the economy there collapsed but they still bear my name. Also, a book that I wrote in 1975 called Dr. Siegal's Natural Fiber Permanent Weight Loss Diet was translated into Spanish and published in Mexico with the title Dieta del doctor Siegal."

Yesterday, Dr. Siegal's Direct Nutritionals, LLC, the exclusive worldwide online distributor of Dr. Siegal's® Cookie Diet™ foods, began accepting orders by phone from consumers in the United States and Canada. Internet orders will be accepted via the company's web site, www.CookieDietOnline.com, within a few days. The products will also be available from doctors, drug stores, wellness centers and upscale spas.

"Nearly 6,000 people from all over the United States and Canada have registered online to purchase Dr. Siegal's® Cookie Diet™ products during the past month or so," added Dr. Siegal. "It's very gratifying to know that our work is so widely recognized."

In 1975, Dr. Siegal created the Cookie Diet™ and its first food--an oatmeal raisin cookie--as a way to help his patients control their hunger so that they could lose weight on a restricted-calorie diet. Other cookie flavors, as well as shakes and soup with the same hunger-controlling properties, soon followed. Dr. Siegal estimates that more than 500,000 people have used the Cookie Diet™ foods which contain Dr. Siegal's proprietary blend of food proteins that provide unusual hunger-suppression per calorie. Dr. Siegal's® Cookie Diet™ brand shakes and soup are expected to be available online later this year.

From 2002 until August 2006, Dr. Siegal, through his company, licensed a franchise company to open weight loss centers using his name, likeness, trademarks, and hunger-controlling foods. The agreement between Dr. Siegal and his former franchisee ended in August 2006. Dr. Siegal's® Cookie Diet™ brand products are not available at any of that company's locations. For more information about the end of that relationship refer to Dr. Siegal's February 7, 2007 press release http://www.prweb.com/releases/CookieDietCookiesSiegal/FranchiseLitigation/prweb503261.htm.

The Cookie Diet™ cookies contain no drugs and are available without a prescription. They are meant to be used as a healthy snack food to control hunger. Anyone who intends to use them as part of any kind of weight loss program or calorie-restricted diet, Dr. Siegal advises, should do so only under the supervision of a doctor.

Dr. Sanford Siegal has practiced medicine in South Florida since 1957. His medical practice, Siegal Medical Group (www.DrSiegal.com), has offices in Kendall, Miami Lakes and Davie. Dr. Siegal and his Cookie Diet™ are frequently profiled in the international press. Last weekend, a feature story aired on Fox News in more than three dozen cities. On March 28th, an interview was published in the National Post, one of Canada's highest circulation daily newspapers.
