Can you really lose weight eating cookies? NBC's Today Show Joy Fit Club guest, Josie Raper, lost 120 pounds eating 6 cookies a day. Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet also helped Raper to go from size 24 to 6 in six months. Raper appeared on the Joy Fit Club segment on NBC's Today Show with her new figure. Joy Bauer, nutritionist and author, airs the show twice a month and features dieters who have lost 100 pounds or more.
The hard part about a maintaining a diet, is putting all those pounds back on when you reach your weight loss goal. Keeping the weight off can be tough, especially when there's no goal left to reach. Josie Raper, a 29 year-old mother from Phoenix, lost all her weight in 2007, and has kept it off for two years.
"The first time I met Dr. Siegal he was doing a personal appearance at a mall in Arizona. This was shortly after I'd lost the weight on his diet," said Raper. "I walked up to him and pulled out a picture of myself when I was over 100 pounds heavier and I told him, 'This used to be me,'" as reported in a News Wire press release.
Appearing on the Today Show with Dr. Siegal was Josie's skeptical Mom, Yvonne Henderson. Soon after Josie started losing all her weight, her mother changed her mind about the Cookie Diet and decided to give it a try. She ended up losing 50 pounds on Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet as well.
Dr. Siegal was so impressed with Josie Raper's 120 pound weight loss success, that he dedicated his latest book to her. "Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet Book: How a Doctor and His Cookie Helped 500,000 People Lose Weight Fast", and was dedicated to Raper in June 2009.
When the new book came out, Josie wasn't aware that he had written an inscription on the inside flap along with his autograph. She was shocked and touched when her husband pointed it out to her. Siegal wrote, "To Josie Raper, who is half her size yet twice the person for sharing her story with the world and inspiring others to change their lives."
And the rest, as they say, is history.
