Front Cover
Crown, 1997 - Health & Fitness - 215 pages
No one know the self-denial - and the failure rate - of dieting better than Suzanne Somers. Under constant make-or-break career pressure from thinness-obsessed Hollywood, she has tried every diet imaginable. Now, after years of experimentation and consultation with experts, she has developed a weight-loss plan that truly succeeds. The secret to gaining control over your weight, Suzanne reveals, lies not in how much you eat, but in what you eat, and in what combinations. On her breakthrough program, you'll eat foods in "Somersize" combinations to reprogram your metabolism, shed pounds for good, and gain more energy than ever before! The deliciously satisfying Somersize program allows you to eat incredible meals - with cheeses, sauces, dressings - without worrying about portions! Imagine being able to enjoy, for example, Roasted Chicken with Mushroom-Sausage Stuffing and Tarragon Gravy. When combined with Zucchini Carpaccio and followed by Sugarless Cheesecake, you'll have a perfect Somersize meal that's easily digestible. And these are just a few of Suzanne's more than one hundred recipes in Eat Great, Lose Weight. Somersizing is not a diet, but an eating plan for life. You'll learn how to free yourself from food cravings, how to get off the diet roller-coaster, and how to make movement and fitness an enjoyable part of every day.
