Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET™ Featured in Two-Hour E! Entertainment Network Special This Weekend

E! Entertainment Network Special Includes Interviews with Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET™ Creator Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D., and His Patients

Miami, FL (PRWEB) January 2, 2008 -- Dr. Siegal's Direct Nutritionals LLC, the global distributor of Dr. Siegal's® COOKIE DIET™ products and operator of the CookieDietOnline.com web site, today announced that Dr. Sanford Siegal's 33 year old weight loss system and hunger-controlling meal replacement cookies, shakes and soup will be featured in a two-hour THS Investigates special on E! Entertainment Network this Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at noon and 8pm EST. The cable network recently spent a day in Dr. Siegal's Miami clinic speaking to patients who've lost weight on the cookie-based diet system developed in 1975 by the renowned physician, author, and obesity expert. Among the patients who were interviewed by E! were a married couple who together lost more than 100 pounds.

"I was flattered when the True Hollywood Stories producers at E! asked to spend a day at Siegal Medical Group observing how we've used Dr. Siegal's® COOKIE DIET™ in our own medical practice for more than thirty years. I know that E! focuses on entertainment rather than news so I was impressed by the producers' eagerness to understand the science behind what has been a very successful weight loss system, " said Dr. Siegal. "We talked for hours, not just about Dr. Siegal's® COOKIE DIET™ but also about the history of dieting going back more than a hundred years."

Dr. Siegal is frequently in the news. Over the years he has been profiled by ABC's Good Morning America, New York Daily News, CNN, and Fox News Channel. Due to the recent resurgence of interest in hypothyroidism that was sparked by Oprah Winfrey, several media profiles of Dr. Siegal's book on the subject, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat? (Warner Books, 2000), are scheduled in early 2008.

"We haven't seen the E! show yet but we're looking forward to it. Given that we've helped more than a half million people lose weight safely during the past thirty-three years, we're a little puzzled that they used the word 'fad' in the title," said Matthew Siegal, president and CEO of Dr. Siegal's Direct Nutritionals, which distributes Dr. Siegal's products worldwide. "Whenever you deal with the media, you have to be prepared for anything. Producers sometimes sacrifice accuracy for entertainment and ratings. We trust that the producers at True Hollywood Stories are conscientious people and that they will accurately present the Dr. Siegal's® COOKIE DIET™ success story."

Dr. Siegal conceived the idea of a cookie-based diet in the early 1970's while researching his book on the role of the hypothalamus in satiety and weight loss. Recognizing that hunger is the main reason why most diets fail, Dr. Siegal created a proprietary blend of amino acid food proteins that provides unusually strong hunger suppression per calorie. He baked his protein blend into a cookie and found that it enabled his patients to faithfully adhere to the reduced calorie diet that he prescribes and monitors. He later developed diet shakes and diet soup with the same hunger-suppressing quality. More than 500,000 people have since used the products, and hundreds of other doctors have provided them to patients in their own medical practices. Dr. Siegal manufactures all of his foods in his private bakery in Miami.

Dr. Siegal's® COOKIE DIET™ hunger-controlling foods and nutritional supplements are available by phone 24/7 at 866-464-5595 toll-free; online at CookieDietOnline.com; and from select doctors, drug stores and retailers. They're also available at Dr. Siegal's® COOKIE DIET™ kiosks in Paradise Valley Mall in Phoenix, AZ; Boca Raton Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, FL; and Moorestown Mall near the Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill, NJ. A second Phoenix location will open on January 11th at Chandler Fashion Center. More kiosks will open each month throughout 2008.

Plants

Flowering plants that overwinter and multiply by means on fleshy stems of leaves are called bulbs. The bulbs we grow in our gardens today are native to temperate zones all over the world, the woodlands, meadows and mountains of the Mediterranean, Middle East, and North America. The Dutch have been extremely successful over the centuries in collection and hybridizing new species of bulbs and improving them for reliable garden performance. Tulips in particular, once played an important role in the Dutch economy.

There is no easier plant to cultivate than a bulb. Planted at the right time, in a loose, well-draining soil, bulbs will bloom punctually year after year and even spread (“naturalize”) if conditions are to their liking.

By planting a sequence of spring-, summer- and fall-flowering bulbs at the appropriate time, you can enjoy their blooms practically year ‘round.

Fall (late September through late November) – Plant hardy, spring-flowering bulbs: tulips, narcissus (includes all types of daffodils), crocus, eranthis (winter aconites), erythronium, fritillaria, hyacinths snowdrops, scilla, hardy cyclamen, lilies. In California and milder areas of the Southwest, also plant ranunculus, freesias, anemones and paperwhites outdoors. Store tulips, crocus and hyacinths in refrigerator for 6-8 weeks before planting. In all regions, store potted bulbs in refrigerator for forcing indoors.

Winter – In California, plant prechilled- hardy bulbs outdoors. In all regions, remove sprouted bulbs from refrigerator for indoor forcing.

Spring – Plant more tender, summer-flowering bulbs: achimenes, gladioli, alliums, calla lilies, tuberous begonias, ixia, crocosmia, dahlias, cannas.

Late Summer – Plant the late bloomers: fall crocus, fall- and winter-blooming hardy cyclamen.

Home-grown, vine-ripened strawberries are among the garden's supreme treats- sweet, succulent, and bursting with flavor. Serve them in shortcakes, blended into smoothies, on ice cream, in cheesecakes or crepes, topped with yogurt or whipped cream, or simply savor them "as is" fresh from the garden. Grocery store strawberries, which are harvested early and ripened off the vine, can't begin to compare in sweetness and flavor.

Strawberries are also easy to grow in the home garden. The plants form foot-wide mounds of lush dark green foliage that can serve as an attractive ground cover. They require no staking or training, as do the larger berries, and only basic care. Once planted they will spread and continue to produce for four or five years before they need to be replaced.

Strawberry plants also grow well in pots, patio planters, even in hanging planters. While there are many varieties of strawberries, there are basically only two types: June-bearing (Allstar) and Everbearing (Ozark and Quinalt). The June-bearing strawberries bloom in the spring and produce a plentiful crop that ripens during June. The Everbearing strawberries produce both a spring and a fall crop, and continue producing some berries throughout the summer, more when temperatures aren't too hot. For the home gardener, the best strategy is to plant both types and harvest ripe berries over a long season.
