Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food

by Suzanne Somers, Diana Schwarzbein (Foreword), Leslie Hamel (Illustrator)

After the phenomenal success of Eat Great, Lose Weight , Suzanne Somers was flooded with letters and phone calls from people who had lost weight the "Somersize" way. They had followed Suzanne's satisfying and effective program and for the first time had gained control over their weight and their health. There was no more dieting, no more deprivation, and the pounds just seemed to melt away.

Now, Suzanne takes readers to the next step toward greater health and fitness in Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food . With breakthrough research on food and our bodies, an easy-to-follow weight-loss plan, and more than 130 amazing new Somersized recipes, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to shed pounds or maintain their weight--even while eating meat, cheese, butter, dressings, desserts, and other delicious foods not found on most eating plans. Backed up by renowned endocrinologist Dr. Diana Schwarzbein, Suzanne tells how sugar, not fat, is responsible for weight gain, and how combining food properly and eating a diet that is low in carbohydrates and that includes plenty of natural fats and proteins will not only help you lose weight but also can reprogram your metabolism, lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, and give you more energy.

Somersizing is not a diet, but  a way of life. In Get Skinny on Fabulous Food you will find inspiring testimonials from some of Suzanne's greatest success stories, people who have lost weight, lowered blood pressure, and eliminated digestive problems by Somersizing.  And you can join Suzanne and her family as they celebrate good food and good times throughout the year with dinners, brunches, and other special-occasion meals that are perfectly Somersized yet perfectly delicious. It is almost impossible to believe you can lose weight and still feel so indulged!
        
Best of all, Suzanne shares more than 130 new mouthwatering Somersized recipes, including Milanese Beef with Sautéed Onions and Mushrooms in a Port Wine Sauce, Spicy Rock Shrimp Salad, Fried Rice with Shiitake Mushrooms, Decadent White Chocolate Cake, and Crême Brulée. Once again, Suzanne Somers proves that you really can get, and stay, skinny on fabulous food!

Reviews

[Marianne Ogden · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is surprisingly helpful! It is a diet that is easy to live with and very tasty. She also does a good job of explaining why it works. I am convinced that it is better than the Atkin's Diet. It is very good for those tendencies to gain weight as we get older. It is very similar to the South Beach Diet.

What can I say, I love Suzanne Somers' approach to eating and vitality. I read this shortly after having my first child. She really helped me understand the importance of balancing carbs, fats and proteins, as well as helped me understand the difference between "good carbs" and "bad carbs". I was also reading a book on French Women and their lifestyles at the same time as this book, the comparisons were interesting - and also had similar approaches. Basically, food is your friend. Good, fresh, delicious, natural food. Fat is also your friend. Who knew!

Interesting book. Some good recipes

[Brenda Humphreys · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a typical diet book with the first half explaining the health benefits of the diet and the second half giving recipes to follow. I am not looking for a diet book, just looking to learn more about healthy food.

I grew up in the eighties where all the diets told you to eat low fats and high carbs. Now the health experts have changed that way of thinking. We should be consuming more real fats and protein, and less carbs. Suzanne goes into detail into why this new way of eating will help you shed the pounds. She also shares how certain food combinations are better. One combination is to have a meal with proteins and fats, no carbs.

I enjoyed this book. I got a lot of health tips from it that I will be incorporating into my diet.
