Suzanne Somers' Eat Great, Lose Weight: Eat All the Foods You Love in "Somersize" Combinations to Reprogram Your Metabolism, Shed Pounds for Good, and Have More Energy Than Ever Before

I bought this book after seeing Suzanne on a daytime TV show. She gave a demonstration of a recipe, and it looked pretty good - Turkey with a rich wine and butter sauce.I had look at her web site and read some reviews of the books, most of which were positive (a couple of which weren't) and thought "Why not?". I started on 03 September 2001, by 25th November I have lost almost 40lbs without having to starve myself. I do miss some of the 'funky' baddies - potatoes, risotto, alcohol, coffee/tea; but it is a small price to pay for such astounding results. I now weigh less than I have in 8 years and great side effects of eating so much fresh salad and veggies have been better skin (spots and dry patches are a thing of the past) and increased energy levels. I agree with Somers' take on this not being to much a 'diet' as an 'eating plan'. If you're ready to take control of your eating habits I recommend this as an ideal way to start. The really great features are: great food, plenty of it and no measuring. It is easy to eat out or at home without having to worry about counting points, calories, or carbs or having to have a 'special' meal whilst the rest of the family eats something decent. Essentially a reduced carb diet, it may not be for everyone, but without sounding like I'm on Somers' payroll - I say "Go on! Try it. All you have to lose is the blubber."

Brilliant book, read it years ago but couldn’t track down my copy. Best eating plan to lose weight!! Very well written in friendly manner. Good recipes too. Recommended

Great late-1990s personal-experience book from one of America's best-loved actresses who, once she hit 40, found herself packing on the pounds - a career disaster, as well as a health problem. Here's what she did to reverse the problem and stay slim forever. It works! I've bought multiple copies for family and friends.
