Obesity Expert Dr. Sanford Siegal Brings ‘Cookie Diet’ to Miami Lakes, Florida

Siegal Medical Group Miami weight loss practice opens new office.

MIAMI, FL (PRWEB) July 11, 2006 -- Siegal Medical Group LLC, a Miami weight loss medical practice that boasts the “Cookie Diet™” and has helped more than 500,000 overweight patients lose weight since 1957, has opened a new medical office at 15100 NW 67th Avenue in Miami Lakes, Florida. Other Siegal Medical Group offices in South Florida are located in Kendall and Davie.

Appointments at any Siegal Medical Group office can be made at 305-256-5643.

Siegal Medical Group was founded by its medical director, obesity expert and author Sanford Siegal, D.O., nearly 50 years ago. Generations of South Floridians have been treated by Dr. Siegal and his physicians. Siegal Medical Group doctors help patients lose weight by prescribing a low calorie diet that includes hunger-controlling foods developed and manufactured in Miami by Dr. Siegal.

“We’ve been treating overweight patients in South Florida for generations and we love when new patients mention that their parents and even grandparents were formerly under our care,” said Dr. Siegal. “We have many patients in the Miami Lakes area who used to drive to our Kendall office. We’re glad that our new Miami Lakes office will be more convenient for them.”

Dr. Siegal is perhaps best known as the creator of the hunger-controlling Dr. Siegal’s™ Cookie. Dr. Siegal’s™ Cookie Diet™ has been featured in countless media outlets including Good Morning America, Health, Woman’s World and the New York Post.

In his controversial book, “Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat?” (Warner Books, 2000), Dr. Siegal blasted his fellow physicians for failing to diagnose hypothyroidism in many of their overweight patients. Dr. Siegal believes that doctors rely too heavily on conventional laboratory thyroid function tests and ignore obvious symptoms of an underactive thyroid. Even on a low calorie diet, it’s nearly impossible to lose weight with a sluggish thyroid. According to Dr. Siegal, hypothyroidism is easily managed with medication.
