Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET

More than 500,000 people have lost weight eating cookies. Now it's your turn!

Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET cookies are convenient, sensible snack foods that effectively curb hunger. They contain no drugs and are available without a prescription. You can enjoy them simply as a healthier alternative to other snacks, or you can use them to control your appetite as you follow a diet that your doctor directs and supervises. More than 500,000 people have used Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET foods to help them reach their goals during the past thirty-two years.

Are Dr. Siegal's cookies delicious? Are they magical? Do they perform miracles? No. They taste good but we wouldn't call them delicious. Delicious cookies make people fat. As for magic and miracles... well... you probably know the answer.

Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET foods were created in 1975 by Dr. Sanford Siegal to help patients of his Miami, Florida medical practice, Siegal Medical Group, control their hunger and stick to their diets. To this day, Dr. Siegal personally makes every batch of his secret hunger-controlling protein blend by hand in his own bakery.

Early in his career, Dr. Siegal realized that hunger wrecks diets. He knew that if he could control his patients' hunger he could help them stick to their diets and lose weight. Drawing on his chemistry background and passion for cooking, he discovered that combining certain food proteins called amino acids produces foods that offer unusual hunger control per calorie. He used his discovery to create his now-famous diet cookies and, soon afterwards, shakes and soup with the same hunger-controlling qualities. (Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET brand shakes and soup will be available on this web site in the near future).

Over the years, more than 200 other doctors throughout the United States and Canada have also used Dr. Siegal's foods in their practices.

Dr. Siegal, his books, and his famous COOKIE DIET have been featured in dozens of print, broadcast and online media including ABC's Good Morning America, Fox News, CNN, Woman's World, First for Women, Globe and Mail and The New York Post.

Bob Greene's Circle of Life

Bob Greene's Circle of Life
Lose Weight With Your Customized Best Life Diet Program

You know the pattern. You're angry about something. The solution: a fistful of chocolate chip cookies. You're down in the dumps for no particular reason. Nothing Ben & Jerry's can't fix. One of the greatest weight loss obstacles is fighting emotional eating -- impulsive, unhealthy snacking triggered by stress, boredom, depression, and other factors. To halt these cravings that can sabotage your weight loss efforts, you have to determine what triggers those episodes of late-night cookies and straight-from-the-carton ice cream binges. What are you angry or depressed about that makes you turn to food for comfort?

A great self-discovery exercise for defeating emotional eating is the Circle of Life. It pinpoints your life's most important areas, determines their current status (going well or needs improvement), and then helps to develop a plan to correct the problem areas. It not only can put an end to your emotional eating, but also address other troubles spots that may interfere with your health and wellness.

Here's how it works. Draw a large circle on a blank sheet of paper. Divide the circle into several sections so it resembles a sliced pie. Each section represents an area you feel is an integral part of a fulfilled life, such as career, family, health, fitness, friendship, romance, finance, relationships, etc. Aim for at least six categories and write them in each pie slice.

Next, ask yourself how everything is going in that area -- and be brutally honest. Going well, write a positive sign; not so well, make a negative sign. Examine the slices with a negative sign. How could you improve that area? What is something you can do every day to stimulate positive change? Write at least one item in each section that you can do right now to improve that category, and then commit yourself to it.

Some examples: If a friendship has soured, write a letter, send an e-mail, or pick up the phone. If your fitness has stalled, rejuvenate it: begin an exercise journal, buy some new workout clothes. Not eating healthy enough? Clean out the refrigerator and fill up with fruit and vegetables. Relationship woes? Consider joining a social group, or bond with co-workers after hours. Re-vamp your financial situation by meeting with a financial planner, update your resume, or review your household budget (or draft one).

People who struggle with weight gain often want instant gratification. But if you're patient and take small steps every day, the results can be powerful. If you can consistently do at least one thing daily to change a negative to a positive, I promise that powerful change will occur in your life after one year. If you can do three things daily you won't recognize your former life. The philosophy is similar to losing weight. If you eat healthy and exercise, you don't feel any change on a day-to-day basis. Yet, you can look back a year later and see a profound transformation. You'll also discover that since you addressed negative feelings about a relationship or money worries, your emotional eating episodes have vanished.

Unique way to slash bodyfat and get a beach-ready body

Mike Geary
(Truth about abs)

Do you want to have a great body to show off at the beach or at a wedding this summer? Do you want to achieve your goals in less workout time than ever before? And do you want to exercise at home with as little equipment as possible?

If you are interested in losing fat quickly, using simple workouts that can easily be done first thing in the morning or at night in the comfort of your own home, without endless hours of cardio, fancy equipment or nasty, expensive supplements, then this will be the most important letter you have ever read. Here's why...

My friend Craig Ballantyne, fat-loss expert, and monthly contributor to the most popular fitness magazines such as Men's Health and Oxygen, is celebrating the 1-year "birthday" of his Turbulence Training system and he wants to help you get in shape for summer and "Save Your Swimsuit Season", because you deserve better results!

In it's first year, Craig's unique system has helped thousands of men and women escape the prison of long workouts, crowded gyms, and more importantly, the shackles of unwanted ugly body fat.

For years, Craig worked off-line with men and women at their wit's end, who had tried everything, including 90-minute workouts every day and in some cases up to 7 hours of cardio per week, only to be left in frustration and near tears because these high-rep, long cardio sessions just weren't working to remove body fat - despite the promises of the so-called "experts".

But Craig knew there was a better way. So he packaged his years of research and over a decade of hands-on training experience into his Turbulence Training system, a routine that you can do at home, in only 45 minutes per workout, 3 times per week, allowing you more time to live life and love your body.

So to celebrate the "birthday" of his system and to help you finally lose the fat once and for all this summer, Craig's put together 7 limited-time bonuses just for you. These bonuses will ONLY be offered for the next 3 days. After Wednesday June 6th at midnight Eastern time, you'll never again have a chance to get all 7 of these bonuses together again.

And you know what? After painstakingly reviewing the Turbulence Training workouts and fat loss philosophy, comparing them to the common long, slow cardio workouts that so many people are doing (unsuccessfully, I might add), I've found that Turbulence Training IS one of the most efficient and effective fat loss programs available.

With all of the "lose fat fast" programs and snake-oil supplements out there, I have a strict criteria that a program has to meet before I even consider recommending it to my friends.

But TT is the real deal - after all, if these workouts weren't, would the biggest fitness magazine in the world, Men's Health, feature Turbulence Training workouts?

Of course not, they have too much to lose. It's no surprise to me that Craig's workout advice was featured not once, but TWICE in the June 2007 issue of Men's Health magazine.

And he is on Oxygen magazine's Training Advisory Board, where he answers female fat loss using the Turbulence Training principles.

With Turbulence Training, you have nothing to lose (except for fat!) and everything to gain (including more time to live life, rather than spending hours upon hours of your time at a crowded, stinky, overpriced commercial gym).

Because not only are his workouts proven by both research and experience, but you also have a hundred percent satisfaction guarantee that you'll love his workouts. Or just return it for your money back.

Now let me tell you more about the Turbulence Training workouts.

First of all, they can all be done at home with dumbbells, a bench, and an exercise ball (a chin-up bar is also helpful for those that are strong enough).

Second, thousands of both men AND women (yes, women too!) have used these Turbulence Training workouts successfully to lose fat in a very short amount of time and without long, slow boring cardio. Craig's proven that you don't need to be at the gym everyday for an hour or more.

"After 3wks of that program, I could already see results and I liked how the workouts were fun, intense, and efficient. At 34, I'm leaner and stronger than I've ever been. Thanks Craig!"
Christine Johnston, Little Rock, AK

In fact, the Turbulence Training workouts will only take 45 minutes, three days per week, and you can do everything at home. No need for fancy, expensive gym memberships, or long commutes to an annoying "mega-club" where you have to compete for equipment (or worse, wait for a machine covered in the nasty sweat of the hairy powerlifter that used it just before you).

Turbulence Training is as straight-forward as any fat loss program could be. You'll get the workouts done fast, avoiding useless exercises or any waiting around twiddling your thumbs. Craig has cut the fluff you find in so many other programs so that you are using ONLY the best exercises that give the most results in the least amount of time.

If you've ever struggled to figure out what to do for your fat loss program, then worry no more. Turbulence Training spells it out, workout by workout, exercise by exercise, set by set, and rep by rep, for a full 16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts.

Turbulence Trainingalso includes workouts for the absolute beginner to help any newcomer, no matter what your situation, get started on their fat loss plan. Craig's program also gives you dozens of weeks of bonus workouts that help you take your lean body to the next level of definition if you want more advanced training.

How badly do you finally want to succeed this summer? Maybe you got off to a great start earlier this year, only to have your momentum fizzle out because you lacked the time to follow that 6 hour per week program you got from the magazines. Or maybe you just got tired of doing the same workout week-in, week-out, because your old program didn't have any variety.

All of those problems are fixed by the Turbulence Training program. And you owe it to yourself to get Turbulence Training because you deserve a program that gets you results fast, not a program that makes you spend an hour on the treadmill each day while summer passes you by...You don't need to live in the gym to look great!

With all of the beginner workouts, regular TT bonuses, 16-weeks of advanced fat loss workouts, AND these 7 limited-time bonuses, you will have all the info you need to finally get rid of stubborn fat fast. PLUS, you'll have step-by-step instructions for everything from how to measure your body fat, to what to eat at each meal, and exactly how many repetitions you should do for each exercise.

The body you've wanted for too long can be yours, and in less time than you've always thought necessary. Get ready to experience a new body thanks to all the inches you'll lose, the pounds you'll shed, and the energy you'll gain in the next few days, weeks, and months ahead with the Turbulence Training fat loss program you can do at home.

With Turbulence Training's use of time-saving, metabolism-boosting exercises, you'll get all of your workouts done in 45 minutes, three times per week. In less time than it takes to watch the nightly news, an episode of Oprah, or one of those horrible talk shows on CNN, you can make rapid improvements in your body each day.

So here's why I'm writing to you today:

Craig is quickly becoming an international fitness and fat loss expert. His on-line clients now span the entire globe, and he no longer has space for new clients. And those that are lucky enough to work with him one-on-one pay up to $300 per session for his guidance through their personal Turbulence Training workouts (he's Toronto's most expensive trainer!).

But now the good news.

"I lost 14 pounds this month and the weight is just falling off me. My wife says I now look like when we first met and I still have more to go. I can fit into my old jeans again which is a big deal for me. I just cut back on starches and bread and do your routine 2-3 times a week. I never thought in a million years that just 10-20 minutes of weight training followed by some intervals would get me such steady results. I even cheat a bit on the weekends."
Billy Williams

"I used to think you needed to spend hours in the gym everyday in order to see results. With the help of CB and Turbulence Training, I have reduced my workouts from 2 hours per day, everyday, to 50 minutes every other day. All the while I have trimmed over 60 lbs. of body fat off my now lean and muscular body.!"
Rob Vickers
