Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1970s, Dr. Siegal had an epiphany that would guide the rest of his life and career and spawn his mantra: "hunger wrecks diets." He decided to engineer a food specifically to control his patients' hunger and help them adhere to the low-calorie diet that he advocated. He combined and processed a mixture of proteins that resulted in a particular combination of amino acids and baked his formula into a cookie. Since 1975, more than 500,000 of Dr. Siegal's patients and those of hundreds of other doctors have used Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet cookies. At 80, Dr. Siegal personally mixes every batch of his proprietary protein formula in his private bakery near his Miami medical clinic.
