Marty Moorehead of Gilbert, Arizona, who last January weighed 363 pounds and had a 56 inch waist, today strode confidently onto the set of ABC's Good Morning America looking and feeling like a new man, down 164 pounds and appearing dapper in a button-down shirt and size 38 pants. Moorehead was invited to participate in GMA's roundup discussion of America's hottest weight-loss approaches, including the regimen that worked for him: Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET®, developed by South Florida obesity expert and author Dr. Sanford Siegal.
"Back when I joined Dr. Siegal's CookieDiet.com in January of 2009, I was having to request a special seat belt extension whenever I flew. I had trouble finding pants with a 56 inch waist. I was very self-conscious about my appearance," said Moorehead. "But this morning, I found myself on national TV in front of millions of people, trimmer and healthier than I was for many years. In my case, happy new year is a major understatement!"
Moorehead's appearance on GMA continues a perpetual string of major media profiles of Dr. Sanford Siegal and his venerable weight-loss diet. In the past few months, Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® has been featured in reports by NBC's Today Show; CNN's Joy Behar Show; ABC's Good Morning America and The View; The Wall Street Journal; and The New York Times. On October 21, 2009, Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® was the number one search topic on AOL; two days earlier, it was sixth on Google's list.

"Marty Moorehead's story should inspire anyone who has a lot of weight to lose," said Dr. Siegal. "I'm glad that my cookie was able to keep his hunger in check but the credit for his success goes to Marty and his unwavering determination not to let his weight rob him and his wife, Grace, of their future."
