Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food

Zusatztext Some amazing Somersize success stories! "Over the years I have been exposed to many diets for my patients! most of which eventually failed. As I grew older! I joined my overweight patients by becoming 23 pounds overweight myself. In March 1997 I started the Somersize program and in three months I lost 23 pounds and reached my goal. Since having such great success personally I have placed many patients and friends on the Somersize program. I am thoroughly convinced it is the way to go." --Stanley Dressler! M.D. "The more obsessed I was about finding the right diet! the larger I became--I blossomed to 407 pounds. My self-esteem diminished to the point of wondering how I could end the vicious cycle. Suzanne! little did I know the key I had prayed for was right in front of me--I wish for others to grab ahold of your words. Now 174 pounds! I have a happier heart! mind! and! most of all! body." --Lynn Thorpe "My husband and I slowly kept gaining weight! and before we realized! I had ballooned up to 190 pounds and Kevin was weighing in at 275. We had twin boys (3 years old) and at the time I had absolutely no energy to keep up with them. Now! 15 months later! I am 70 pounds lighter and Kevin has lost 80 pounds. This is a way of life for us now." --Taylor and Kevin Kibodeaux "You and your Somersizing system have made a new woman of me! I have lost 34 pounds by just eating according to your book. During menopause I started putting on weight! which was a new thing for me as I was pretty thin when I was young.

Part One A NEW WAY OF LIFE Diets--The Ultimate Empty Promise If you've ever had a problem with your weight, you've probably tried one diet after the next. At first you stick to it diligently. You're excited because you really think this is going to be the one to solve all your problems. You count and measure and deprive yourself of eating the foods you love, all in the quest to become thin. The pounds drop slowly . . . too slowly. Irritability increases because you're hungry and cranky. As the days pass you're upset because you feel surrounded by thin people who seem to be able to eat whatever they want while you hold the dressing on the salad and eat a boring chicken breast with no sauce. You watch those fat grams, keep those calories down. You're miserable because your whole life seems to revolve around what you can eat or, rather, what you can't eat.

After two solid weeks of dieting, you pass by the open cupboard and notice a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies that has been left opened. You go to roll down the top of the bag to keep them fresh, but first you peek inside. Oh, the smell. There is one broken cookie left on the top row. You can't eat it.
