Years ago, Suzanne Somers lost the chance to
appear on a hit television series because she was "too chunky."
That missed opportunity started her on a "diet roller coaster,"
trying all kinds of diets.
Now Somers believes that diets and deprivation
do not help people lose weight in the long-term.
In Eat Great, Lose Weight, she explains
the food-combining plan she calls "Somersizing": eliminate
"funky foods" such as sugar ("my body's greatest
enemy") and white flour; eat fruits alone on an empty stomach; eat
proteins and fats with vegetables and without carbohydrates; eat
carbohydrates with vegetables and without fat.
Sommers presents 113 recipes that certainly don't resemble a
traditional diet and might make a weight-loss expert's hair curl, such as
Crispy Fried Eggplant and Mozzarella Finger Sandwiches, Flourless Cheese
Souffle (with butter, eggs, cream cheese, and Gruyère cheese), and
Grilled Pepper Steak with Herb Butter (trim the fat from the meat, but add
both butter and olive oil). There's no nutritional breakdown, so you can't
count fat or calories.
Somers admits that "many experts will argue that food combining
is a myth," but she says it works for her, and she credits it with
trimming her down to 116 pounds, even though she eats "more than
ever."
Book
Description
No one knows the self-denial--and the failure rate--of
dieting better than Suzanne Somers. The Three's Company and Step-by-Step
star struggled with her weight for twenty years.
But
now, after years of experimentation and consultation with more than one
hundred nutritionists and dietitians, Suzanne has developed a weight-loss
plan that truly succeeds.
With over a hundred recipes for great-tasting creative and traditional
dishes, Eat Great, Lose Weight will help you free yourself from food
cravings, get off the diet roller coaster, and learn to love food
again.
You
won't believe how easy it is to look and feel your best!

"Life's best memories come from around the table.
This is why I love Suzanne's book. If people follow her suggestions, they
will learn to enjoy food again, which is a great gift."

treat yourself."
