Description
Find out how hundreds of thousands of people
all across the country have melted the pounds away without dieting,
without deprivation -- the Somersize way!
With her number one New York Times bestsellers Eat Great, Lose
Weight and Get Skinny on Fabulous Food, Suzanne Somers spread the word
about her revolutionary weight-loss program that's unlike any diet out
there.
When
you Somersize, you can eat your favorite foods until you are full and
change your metabolism without skipping meals. Unlike other weight-loss
programs, you don't have to eliminate entire food groups or skimp on
portions -- instead, you can trim your waistline and boost your energy
levels without depriving yourself of healthy, great-tasting foods.
In her new book, Suzanne Somers’ Eat, Cheat, and Melt the Fat Away,
Suzanne shows loyal fans and newcomers alike that losing weight and
getting fit are easier now than ever before.
You'll
be amazed at how the pounds just melt away when you eat hearty, rich foods
like cheese, butter, meats, creamy sauces, and tempting desserts. The key
is eating food in the right combinations to achieve maximum weight loss,
while also lowering your cholesterol and blood pressure.
Eat,
Cheat, and Melt the Fat Away explains Somersizing in detail for those who
have come to the plan for the first time. It also offers the latest
Somersizing news, including:
* how hormone imbalances affect weight gain and how to maintain your
weight throughout every phase in your life, from puberty through your
childbearing years to menopause;
* how to Somersize with your children;
* how to incorporate little "cheats" into the plan so you never
feel deprived, but still lose weight;
* information about the remarkable new natural sugar that allows you to
eat sweets and still stay slim;
* answers to the most frequently asked questions and concerns about
Somersizing;
* Somersize success stories that will inspire you to lose weight and get
healthy.
And best of all, Eat, Cheat, and Melt the Fat Away also includes more than
100 new Somersize recipes that will tantalize your taste buds, including
Pan-Fried Petrale Sole with Lemon, Butter, and Caper Sauce; Deep-Fried
Turkey with Fried Onions and Herbs; Roasted Sweet Red Pepper Soup with
Creme Fraiche and Crispy Sage Leaves; Portobello Mushrooms with Bubbling
Pesto; Molten Chocolate Cakes; Raspberry Souffle; and many more.
Portobello
Mushrooms with Bubbling Pesto
PROFATS AND VEGGIES -- LEVEL ONE
Serves 4
These mushrooms make a great appetizer or a delicious accompaniment for a
summer meal alongside a steak. They work especially well if you are using
your outdoor grill, but you can also broil them in the oven.
4 large portobello mushrooms
Olive oil for brushing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Basil Pesto (p. 155)
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Trim the stems off the mushrooms. Brush mushrooms with olive oil and
season lightly. Cook gill side down over medium coals or in the broiler
for 5 minutes.
Turn the mushrooms over and spread a spoonful of pesto over the entire
surface. Continue to cook for 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are very
tender and the pesto is bubbling. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top of the
pesto and return to broiler until cheese is melted and golden.
Dawn's Deviled Eggs
PROFATS AND VEGGIES -- LEVEL ONE
Makes 10
My good friend Barry Manilow has a wonderful cook named Dawn. These are
her delicious deviled eggs. Her original recipe includes avocado, which
makes the filling green. Try it that way for Level Two.
5 hard-boiled eggs, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon minced scallion, white and light green parts
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
Juice from 1 lime
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
12 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
red chili flakes for garnish
Remove the yolks from the whites. Set the whites aside. Mash the yolks in
a bowl with a fork. Add the scallion, jalapeño, lime juice, mayonnaise,
and salt. Add more mayonnaise to reach desired consistency. Mash with a
fork until blended. Using a teaspoon, carefully stuff whites with yolk
mixture, mounding the tops.
For extra heat, garnish with red chili flakes.
For Level Two
Add 1 whole mashed avocado to the egg yolk mixture.
From
the Back Cover
"Having attempted numerous diets and weight-loss
programs over the years -- everything from cabbage soup diets to Weight
Watchers -- my husband and I were quite skeptical when we first heard
about Somersizing. But we immersed ourselves in the program. The results:
My husband lost 27 pounds, and I lost 18 pounds. Your program has been a
blessing!"
-- Sandy and Peter Alexander
"After the birth of my third child, I was discouraged by my eating
habits and appearance. Being a mother of three with a busy life, I was
aware the word 'diet' meant disaster. But two books and seven simple steps
were all it took to change my life. In five short months, I was able to
lose 30 pounds easily. In the last seven months I have lost an additional
31 pounds. I no longer look at food as the enemy. I urge anyone who wants
to look and feel better to try this wonderful program."
-- Cheryl Lewandowski
