Publisher's Note
No one know the self-denial - and the failure rate - of dieting better than Suzanne Somers. Under constant make-or-break career pressure from thinness-obsessed Hollywood, she has tried every diet imaginable. Now, after years of experimentation and consultation with experts, she has developed a weight-loss plan that truly succeeds. The secret to gaining control over your weight, Suzanne reveals, lies not in how much you eat, but in what you eat, and in what combinations. On her breakthrough program, you'll eat foods in "Somersize" combinations to reprogram your metabolism, shed pounds for good, and gain more energy than ever before! The deliciously satisfying Somersize program allows you to eat incredible meals - with cheeses, sauces, dressings - without worrying about portions! Imagine being able to enjoy, for example, Roasted Chicken with Mushroom-Sausage Stuffing and Tarragon Gravy. When combined with Zucchini Carpaccio and followed by Sugarless Cheesecake, you'll have a perfect Somersize meal that's easily digestible. And these are just a few of Suzanne's more than one hundred recipes in Eat Great, Lose Weight. Somersizing is not a diet, but an eating plan for life. You'll learn how to free yourself from food cravings, how to get off the diet roller-coaster, and how to make movement and fitness an enjoyable part of every day.
With no dieting, sacrifice, or self-denial, Suzanne Somers Eat Great, Lose Weight encourages you to eat all the foods you love while staying thin forever, to enhance body image and self-image. The program is based on ten years of research and interviews with nutritionists. It teaches you how to eat foods in special combinations in order to restructure your metabolism. Divided into two parts, Level 1 is for people who want to lose weight and Level 2 is for maintaining the reduced weight.Suzanne Somers Eat Great, Lose Weight is a complete written explanation of what Somersizing is and how the program works. With more than 100 Somersizing recipes, from soups to main courses to desserts, it offers Suzannes invaluable advice regarding Somersizing, including how to order dinner at a restaurant, how the program can work on a vegetarian diet, which ethnic foods can be Somersize friendly, and why dark chocolate and wine can be acceptable to eat on the program. "Food is only one component of a happy, healthier life. I firmly believe that you must master not only your physical health but also your emotional wellness," says Suzanne. "In this book, Ill show you what works for me. Youll learn how to be fit, not fanatic; how to make movement and fitness a pleasurable part of daily life; and how to make the most of every moment of every day, including your meals." Suzanne Somers Eat Great, Lose Weight will appeal to people who want to enjoy life, to lose weight without dieting and undue sacrifice. Its a real program from a real person who has done it herself and continues to do it every day. "With Somersizing I can eat all the wonderful foods I love and still lose weight. I dont have to give up flavor. I dont settle for boring meals with no sauce. I dont count calories or fat," says Suzanne. "Somersizing is an easy and effective way to look and feel your best while enjoying life to the fullest. Youll have more energy than ever before, youll say good-bye to the bloating and gas that used to rountinely follow mealtimes; and youll lose weight." Respectful and mindful of what people really want, "Somersizing is not about being physically perfect or unrealistically thin. It's about being the best you can be."
Industry Reviews
"Felicia Lucas Busch, a registered dietitian in St. Paul, Minn., says it's not necessary to eliminate sugary foods or any food to lose weight. Rather, it's a matter of burning off more calories than you take in. Busch says many of Somers' recipes are wonderful and nutritious: garden green salads, roasted vegetables and oatmeal pancakes. A few seem ridiculous, she says, such as a pound of bacon fried in 2 tablespoons of olive oil to serve five."
