Book Reviews of Suzanne Somers' Eat Great, Lose Weight

Book Review: it works, in SOOOOO many ways, but beware!
Summary: 5 Stars

Suzanne's books are written in an easy-going personal style with lots of anecdotes about her family life and career to support the theories of food combining. You will not find any graphs, charts, diagrams, or otherwise "scientific" information to back up the claims here--just true life success stories from obese people who have reclaimed their lives and health after starting on this way of eating.

I have been on this way of eating for 4 months and everyone keeps asking me if I've done something with my hair, skin, weight, etc., because every aspect of me has improved since I started this way of eating. Keep the compliments coming!

CRAVINGS:
YES, you will get them the first week as your body adjusts to eliminating caffeine, sugars, chemicals, starches, etc. After 1-2 weeks, the headaches subside as your body relearns to accept and metabolize REAL food. Like a drug junkie, the initial detox period is the most difficult. Being a sugar junkie is REAL and not imagined.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Not everyone loses weight at the same rate. It took Suzanne 2 MONTHS to see results on this way of eating. I saw results in 4 days--while I was immobilized by a back injury (no excercise here). And if you exercise regularly, don't necessarily expect to lose weight--expect to lose INCHES! Your goal shouldn't be a number on the scale, but rather a body fat index. If you lose fat inches all around but gain muscle, who cares how much you weigh?

DIFFICULTY:
If you're used to preparing all your meals from a box (pasta, hamburger helper, instant potatoes, ortega, rice-a-roni, etc.) you will find this way of eating VERY challenging at first. You will learn how to prepare meals using WHOLE food ingredients, rather than processed foods full of chemicals. Real food can take lots of time to prepare--but doesn't have to: tonight I cooked gourmet herb omelettes, filled with veggies and cheese, for me and my friend in 10 minutes. If you need meal ideas and suggestions for quick and easy meals, get Suzanne's 4th book on this, "Quick and Easy", or visit the discussion boards at suzannesomers.com.

CONFUSION:
Some people complain about being confused on this way of eating because it involves combining food groups, eating at different intervals, etc. Any new diet has a learning curve that you must adjust to. So expect to be a bit confused at first. The book has a helpful "cheat sheet" to guide you in food choices and timelines. You can carry this with you in the supermarket or restaurants (YES, you can eat at McDonalds and Wendy's on this way of eating!!).

GREAT TIP: Check out suzanne's web site and visit the Chat Room to get instant live help from others who are on this way of eating, or visit the Discussion Boards to get thousands of recipes, meal ideas, dieting tips, etc. to help you live out the principles espoused in this book.

BEST OF ALL: The way of life described in this book really works! I have never felt better, I sleep better, am steadily losing weight, love all the fabulous food I eat, never feel hungry or deprived, can eat as much as I want, and have stopped craving all the starchy and sugary foods that used to comprise my diet.

TRY IT!!

Summary of Suzanne Somers' Eat Great, Lose Weight

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!
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."
