I am one of those unfortunate souls who have struggled with being overweight all of my life. I have tried every diet known to man....well almost! However, none worked? Why? Well, for many reasons, my favorite one being the word 'diet'...what are the ...
Pros: You really do get to eat well, and enjoy a variety Cons: It helps a lot if you know how to cook
Looking at entertainer Suzanne Somers, it's hard to believe she's well past 50 and a grandmother several times over. She's quite a few years older than I am, but she has a better body. While it's difficult to believe her when she says she's had to...
Throughout my life, I efforted to gain weight (and, to be tall and to have blue eyes and dimples and to be Hispanic!). I stuffed my bird legs with socks, necessitating shoes four sizes larger than my feet. I did not enjoy being thin and longed to gain...
Pros: NO HUNGER, GREAT FOOD, NO CRAVINGS, REALLY WORKS, A PROGRAM FOR LIFE! Cons: One may need to adjust her menus and recipes to fit with their budget.
The ONLY Weigh to Go by babaji3338, Mar 30 '04 I have been overweight for most of my life, except for those rare periods of time where I had managed to literally, and I do mean literally, starve myself down to a small size, which I maintained through ...
Pros: Lots of information Cons: Can't think of any
The idea alone "Sumersize" just reminds you that summer is just a few short weeks away. I ordered "Eat Great Lose Weight" from Amazon.com I received it Friday, by Sunday (last night 2/20/00) I had gone completely through the book and...
Pros: Wonderful foods, great concepts, and it WORKS Cons: Time consuming meals...you have to LOVE to cook!
First, let me say that no other "diet" has worked for me because of underlying health issues. Anyway, this is not a diet. This is nutrition. So any of you out there who think this is something that you temporarily do, forget it. Besides,...
Pros: Easy to read,good recipes,informative Cons: Would like to see more recipes
Eat Great Lose Weight is exactly what it appears to be. I have tried every thing but with this advise the weight just falls off, I feel better overall, and my system is running better. Suzanne is very entertaining in this book as well as the video sold...
Pros: Easy, Yummy, Inexpensive Cons: Requires some memorization
This is a really great book. I don't happen to have a weight problem but after the birth of my son I wanted to get back in shape. A diet of Snackwell cookies and Diet Coke was pretty unsatisfying so I bought this book. It was better than expected!...
Pros: easy, for all family members Cons: whole grains, exercise is not a focus
I have, never, and I mean never been on a diet that has produced results as I have seen with “Somersizing.” It worked very well for my post pregnant, 60 lb. overweight body. I saw the change after 2 weeks. It is not really a diet, but a life change....
Pros: Allowed complex carbs Cons: No fat with carbs
I have tried this diet also along with others, and I will say that it does work also as well as others, but Suzanne makes her book fun with her loving spirit, and wonderful personality.
The good thing about this diet is that you can have...
Pros: meat, cheese, ranch dressing and eggs all the time! Cons: discipline. discipline. discipline.
I "sommersized" for 18 months, and didn't cheat for about 6 of those. The diet structure isn't the difficult part of the program, it is relatively easy to not mix carbs with protein/fat, however, it requires you to cut refined sugar completely out of...
Pros: Easy to read, easy to follow Cons: not enough reciepes
I had gotten this book in the summer of 1999, one among the many diet books that I have read and tried. This one was different in the fact that it is not a "diet" book, but a very healthy and sensible way of eating. There are many books on...
Pros: Eating cheese, able to eat out easily Cons: No white bread, crackers, Pappa Johns pizza!
I got this book in February, 2000. Read it in two days & began the diet on February 22. To date, in just 2 months, I've lost 24 lbs. It is a great diet. The food combing is a bit tricky, but, in time it comes naturally. I've yet to read her second...
Pros: Enjoyable as well as informative Cons: Needs more "sweet tooth" recipes
I purchased Suzanne Somers' book, Eat Great and Lose Weight, in April. This is one of the best books on the subject I have read. The food combining makes sense. Suzanne explains why you should combine certain foods, and why to never eat other foods...
No one knows the self-denial--and the failure rate--of dieting better than Suzanne Somers. The Three s Company and Step-by-Step star struggled with he...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
