It seems half of Hollywood is now happily munching cookies – and it’s to lose weight.
Stars including Denise Richards, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Kim Kardashian and Mandy Moore have been linked to Dr Sanford Siegal’s Cookie Diet – a controversial weight loss plan which promises to shed the kilos by eating little else but biscuits.
Dr Siegal’s Cookie Diet, available online in Australia, is based on meal replacement in the form of a cookie – the ingredients of which include milk, sugar, eggs, wheat and a “secret amino acid protein mix” said to rein in hunger.
Think a cookie diet sounds too good to be true? You could be right. Dietitians warn that Dr Siegal’s program – which the US physician devised more than 30 years ago and which combines eating one “proper” meal a day with six hunger-controlling cookies – is far from a long-term or healthy weight-management solution.
