Synopsis This best-selling diet plan, created by TV actress Suzanne Somers, argues that the consumption of fats found in butter, sour cream, and olive oil is necessary to lose weight and maintain health. Somers advises readers to avoid combining certain foods and to eliminate all chemicals, sugars, and "funky foods"--including white flour, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin, bananas, alcohol, caffeinated drinks, nuts, olives and tofu--from their diets. Somers offers 113 France- and Tuscany-inspired recipes, including Turkey Prosciutto Piccata, Crispy Fried Eggplant and Mozzarella Finger Sandwiches, and Grilled Pepper Steak with Herb Butter.

Industry Reviews "In 1992, [Somers] had a revelation while in France watching 'skinny French people' gobble delicious foods. She developed her Somersizing program, which incorporates such controversial dieting concepts as eating foods only in specific combinations and avoiding certain foods. She says the plan has worked for her and others, but nutrition scientists say there is no research to back her theories." Hellmich
