The Somersizing DietSuzanne Somers first introduced "Somersizing" in Suzanne Somers Eat Great, Lose Weight in 1992. Somersizing is a way of eating in which you cut sugar and "funky foods" and eat plenty of fats, proteins and good carbs like vegetables and fruit. Foods must be combined in certain ways so that the body easily digests them. Dieters Somersize in two steps, the first (Level One) to lose weight and induce "the melt" of fat and the second (Level Two) for ongoing maintenance of their ideal weight. Somers separates foods into four Somersizing food groups: Proteins/Fat, Veggies, Carbos, and Fruit. She suggests that fruit be eaten on an empty stomach. Proteins/Fat includes meat, dish, eggs, natural oils, butter, cream and cheese. Veggies include low starch fresh vegetables. Carbos covers whole-grain breads, pastas and cereals and non-fat dairy products. She lists "Seven Easy Steps to Somersizing" as follows:
Funky Foods include: White Sugar Brown Sugar Raw Sugar Corn Syrup Sucrose Molasses Honey Maple Syrup Beets Carrots Acorn Squash Bananas Butternut Squash Corn Potatoes Parsnips Pumpkin Sweet Potatoes White Flour White Rice Yams Hubbard Squash Avocados Coconuts Liver Low-Fat Milk Whole Milk Nuts Olives Soy Beer Caffeine Tea Caffeine Soda Cocoa Coffee Hard Alcohol Wine All of the foods on the Funky Foods list must be avoided during the first phase of the diet (Level One) but some can be reintroduced in moderation during the maintenance phase (Level Two). Somers sells her own brand of artificial sweetener called "SomerSweet". All of her books include recipes for meals, snacks and desserts. |
