Suzanne Somers' Eat Great, Lose Weight: Eat All the Foods You Love in "Somersize" Combinations to Reprogram Your Metabolism, Shed Pounds for Good, and Have More Energy Than Ever Before

Always had trouble losing weight. Suzanne has come up with the perfect diet. I ate all the time and was hardly ever hungry. Yes, I exercised as I always do. But I lost lots of weight....and it just fell off me. Over 20 lbs in a summer. It was not hard. But you have to give up sugar and you do have to cook and closely follow the recipe. I was surprised. I just picked up the book on clearance. But I bought them all. Great diet!

Great book, easy diet to follow. Lost weight and inches with exercise while eating somersize way!

My husband and I love this book. We both have lost souch weight in the last 6weeks eating in combination with Somersizing. He's lost 25 pounds and I've lost 16. We both feel great and this is our new way of eating for life now because it's so easy and we don't feel deprived at all. You need to try Somersizing.

Everyone I know seems to be on this diet. My relatives are all dropping pounds and swear by "Somersizing." Suzanne Somers discovered this diet while seated in a garden in a medieval French village. That tells me it must be a great diet! I love France.After finishing a delicious dinner, she stood up and picked some cherries from a tree overhead. Her host told her that would cause indigestion and keep her up all night. It turned out to be true and she discovered the centuries-old theory of food combining. This dictates that certain foods must never be eaten together.This diet allows proteins and fats to be eaten together, but never with carbohydrates. Her plan is low in sugar and carbohydrates, but permits all sorts of fruits. Fruit must however be eaten on an empty stomach. Vegetables, bread, cereal and pasta may never be eaten with fats or proteins.She has tried all the other diets and finally found one that worked for her. When she hit 40, her metabolism slowed down and she was getting fewer and fewer results. She finally tried food combining and it worked. She lost 20 lbs. She believes sugar was the enemy. She recommends going cold turkey the first week you are on her diet.She also recommends exercise. One thing she says is that you should give yourself at least a few weeks to start seeing the results.Her plan includes: Eliminating sugar, starch, white flour, caffeine and alcohol. You must eat fruit alone on an empty stomach. Proteins can be eaten with cheese, butter and vegetables. Pasta may be eaten with veggies. You must wait three hours between meals if switching from a protein/fat meal to a carbohydrate meal or vice versa. Eat at least three meals a day and don't skip meals.It sounds simple until you have to give up your buttered toast with jam and tea! I am going to try the fruit idea for sure and try to incorporate more of her ideas. I already hardly eat sugar because I found Stevia, which tastes so much better than all those artificial sweeteners. So, give this diet a try. My uncle has lost quite a few pounds and swears by food combining. He also loves to eat!~The Rebecca Review

This is truly Amazing it really works!!!! I somers's size about 10 years ago and lost 62 lbs in 6mos. you do have to get moving. I walked. Im a big eater so I had my fruit in the morning before 10am. I walk on my breaks at work. I had lunch, meat and two veggie. A fat snack at break and dinner at 6:00. It will work if you work it. I was never hungry. Love this program it works for me.

Suzanne Somers' book, Eat Great, Lose Weight is a way of life...not a diet. I have had an extra 15-20 pounds on me since the birth of my son. He is 11 years old today. Approximately 3 1/2 weeks ago I took the Suzanne Somers journey and modified my diet according to the book. I have already lost 8 1/2 pounds and well on my way to 104 pounds! The KEY to losing weight is DEFINITELY in not mixing carbs with proteins/fats! Suzanne seasons her dishes with delicious spices so you are never lacking in taste. In fact, my son, who didn't want to eat this food at all because he thought it was "DIET FOOD" loves every dish that I have made so far, and compliments the flavors. You can eat all you want if you stay within the rules. I no longer bloat and have so much energy! This is the ONLY was to go. I tried Atkins, but really needed the fruit. I start every morning with a fruit smoothie and feel WONDERFUL! THANK YOU SUZANNE!

I bought this book after a neighbor recommended it. What a little gem (the book and the neighbor)! This has to be the best kept weight loss secret ever. I lost 30 pounds over a 4 month period eating lots of yummy stuff and people at work would not believe me it was easy. I had tried EVERYTHING ... all kinds of fad diets, internet and tv pills (that cost a mint and did nothing but bust my bank balance), heavy exercise (my Chiropractor loved me) and nothing worked like this diet when I stuck to it. That's the secret ... stick to the plan and you do lose heaps of weight and keep it off. But binge on those funky foods and it creeps back. Just goes to show, one should eat healthy to stay healthy. Thank you Suzanne! Guess what my chubby friends are getting for Christmas?

Have always wanted this book an i can finally get to read this. So far its good and this book give more insight also

I bought this book after seeing Suzanne on a daytime TV show. She gave a demonstration of a recipe, and it looked pretty good - Turkey with a rich wine and butter sauce.I had look at her web site and read some reviews of the books, most of which were positive (a couple of which weren't) and thought "Why not?". I started on 03 September 2001, by 25th November I have lost almost 40lbs without having to starve myself. I do miss some of the 'funky' baddies - potatoes, risotto, alcohol, coffee/tea; but it is a small price to pay for such astounding results. I now weigh less than I have in 8 years and great side effects of eating so much fresh salad and veggies have been better skin (spots and dry patches are a thing of the past) and increased energy levels. I agree with Somers' take on this not being to much a 'diet' as an 'eating plan'. If you're ready to take control of your eating habits I recommend this as an ideal way to start. The really great features are: great food, plenty of it and no measuring. It is easy to eat out or at home without having to worry about counting points, calories, or carbs or having to have a 'special' meal whilst the rest of the family eats something decent. Essentially a reduced carb diet, it may not be for everyone, but without sounding like I'm on Somers' payroll - I say "Go on! Try it. All you have to lose is the blubber."

Brilliant book, read it years ago but couldn’t track down my copy. Best eating plan to lose weight!! Very well written in friendly manner. Good recipes too. Recommended

Great late-1990s personal-experience book from one of America's best-loved actresses who, once she hit 40, found herself packing on the pounds - a career disaster, as well as a health problem. Here's what she did to reverse the problem and stay slim forever. It works! I've bought multiple copies for family and friends.

It's a good plan and if you stick to it, you do lose weight and it's also healthy... I don't ever get feeling bloated or tired when I eat the way described in this book.

best recipes, bought this book as replacement to same book due to water damage, use it all the time
