"For the past couple of years, I've spent a lot of time doing media interviews about the Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet, so having something else to talk about now is a welcome change," noted Dr. Siegal. "While The Cookie Doctor Cookbook will be useful to those who follow my diet, it's really for everyone who wishes to reach or maintain a healthful weight by controlling their caloric intake, regardless of the diet plan they follow."

Dr. Siegal said his new book was inspired by the myriad inquiries he's received over the years from those who wanted advice on what meals are suitable for one who wishes to reach or maintain a certain weight. He says that most people recognize that controlling calories is essential for success but find it difficult to know how many calories they're meals really contain.

"The Cookie Doctor Cookbook includes salads, appetizers, side dishes, entrees, and even desserts, and is divided into 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 calorie recipes. This enables the reader to combine two or more dishes to create meals with a specific number of calories," added Dr. Siegal. "Each recipe indicates the amount of calories, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and fiber, and includes a full-page color photograph of the prepared dish."
