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 <I>Eat Great, Lose Weight</I>, 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. Suzanne 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. Suzanne 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." 1360316 1996 Suzanne Somers' Eat Great, Lose Weight total:21|5:4|4:10|3:2|2:5| 21 76 31 3 4 3 false false Tue Feb 17 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 18:51:58 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 12:51:48 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 17 11:41:21 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 17 11:47:25 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jun 23 09:48:52 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 09:50:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 07:53:19 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 07:53:19 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 01:09:44 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 01:09:44 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 23:36:11 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 23:36:11 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 25 18:36:35 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 18:36:35 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 06 10:32:02 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 10:32:02 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 20 18:12:46 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 13:32:41 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 18:12:46 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Aug 13 10:02:21 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 10:02:21 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 04 13:35:41 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 13:35:48 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 19 07:11:01 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 06:05:15 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 07:11:01 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 08 13:49:03 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 13:49:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 03 21:22:34 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 21:22:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Sat Feb 14 13:53:09 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 13:53:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 01 11:41:30 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 17 13:20:06 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Tue Sep 23 08:00:21 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 08:00:27 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Sep 14 17:01:08 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 14 17:01:11 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Aug 16 07:13:42 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 16 07:13:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 07 09:19:06 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 07 09:19:06 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1370468
