Review
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…

Best weight loss program I have ever used
This book is interesting and gives scientific explanations about burning fat. I started eating this way in November and by February I had lost 20 pounds.

I’ve been fighting a losing battle with my weight my entire life. But I’ve been on this program for about 8 days, and already I feel like a different person! I’m doing Weight Watchers (counting points) as well as Somersizing, and when I weighed in I had lost 7.6 lbs. And the food is wonderful and good for you! Unbelievable! I wish I could tell everyone about this way of eating. I want to go up to people in the grocery store and say “Don’t buy that fat-free junk, there’s a better way!” The public has been sold a load of BS by the diet industry. I don’t know where the idea came from that fat is bad for you and fat-free processed junk food is good for you, but this book will change your way of thinking!
I think what worked for me is that I cut everything out at once… caffeine, sugar, white flour, and basically anything refined or processed. I’m not really sure whether my success is due to Suzanne’s food combining theory, or that I just cut out carbs and sugar and started eating more veggies and lean meats. But I’m not going to mess with what seems to be working. The first few days I had a pretty bad headache, but now I feel great. I eat till I’m full and I have no sugar or carb cravings. I made it through Halloween and didn’t eat a single piece of candy, which I couldn’t believe, but I just didn’t want it after reading about what sugar does to you! Now I have more energy than I’ve had in years, I sleep better at night, it’s not as hard to get up in the morning, AND… here’s the best part, I don’t have the terrible stomach problems I used to have.
Please buy this book and follow this program if you’re tired of being fat and eating diet food!

Right concept, wrong execution
I did this diet through the summer of 2002. Yes, I lost weight. Yes, I have since gained it back, and lost it again through other means.

This is the first of the three “Somersize” books. It explains the program in the most detail, but honestly its a very boring read and the recipes are not practicle. I found the second book “Get Skinny on Fabulous Food” to be much more interesting and the recipes are things that I actual make (the Chinese Chicken Salad is excellent). The second book also explains the basics of the plan, but in a more condensed form so you don’t have to read a bunch of in depth explanation like you do in “Eat Great, Lose Weight”. If you haven’t read any of the books and are looking for the *best* of the three then I wouldn’t recommend this one. Go with “Get Skinny” or the newer “Eat, Cheat and Melt the fat away”.

Susan will help you reach your goal.
Follow Susan’s plan and you are guaranteed to loose, or should I say win the battle against fat.

There’s a reason you can buy this used for one cent…
This is basically the “Fit for Life Diet” which is based on the idea that you shouldn’t mix some foods at a meal. It works for some people.

Sound advice
Enjoyed the writings, found the advice useful and the recipes were good. I believe you need to find what works for you-maybe combining the right foods as suggested here will work…

Eat Great, Lose Weight (Miniature Edition)
I was very disappointed in this book even though it was a miniature. Some of the pages were blank, having not even been printed.

Eat as much as you want.
Sticking to the diet in the book I lost 35 lbs in five months. I find, interesting the fact that I can eat as much, or even more that I need as long as I keep the named proteins…
