Summary: Yup. It works.
Review: I never would have imagined buying a diet book, much less one by a TV actress. But three months and thirty-five pounds later, I'm convinced. The sheer ease and quality of the recipes have turned out to make this our most frequently consulted cookbook (and we have a lot of them) And the biggest surprise is that Suzanne comes off as very personable and intelligent. (Okay, that one part with the bath of rose-petals was a little over the top.) I don't know how well someone can access the necessary foods for this system outside a major city, but I've certainly had no problem finding what I need to eat this way. Yes, you have to plan, and you have to enjoy cooking-- at least on weekends, but it's not rocket science. After a week or two, it's completely easy. And it truly works. Even if you still have a glass of wine with dinner. Do yourself a favor and buy it for the recipes alone. You're likely to find yourself gaining energy and losing weight.

Summary: Easy
Review: I am a mother of four and have found this a very easy plan. I was a bit put off at first because it seemed complicated but ounce I got the hang of it (it took a couple of days) it was easy.I have lost 12 pounds in four weeks without even trying. I had previosly been on a low fat/high carbs diet and lost some weight but only with a lot of exercise and I had to go to bed STARVING every night or I'd wake up and weigh more! With this plan I have been able to eat a normal amount of REAL foods and lose. I still exercise but I don't have to be a fanatic about it. I do it for health now, not because I am afraid I'll gain weight if I don't. Before reading this book I had been wondering how all the new fat free foods out there could be good for anyone. They are all laden with chemicals and sugar. I have found out that, as I suspected, they're not good for you and no substitute for real food. I have bacon and eggs with tomatoes and onions for breadfast some days and a plain whole wheat bagel others.I eat fruit first thing in the morning, every morning. I find myself eating a LOT more fruits and veggies than I ever have before. My favorite recipe makeover I have come across is to substitute flat, fried in olive oil strips of zucchini for the pasta in lasagna. I like it better that the original. Preparing meals this way takes me no longer. I have found that it's just normal food combined differently. I can have just about anything I like, I just can't have it in the old combinations. The few restricions haven't been a problem because I was on the verge of cutting out all sugar and white flour anyway. I had been drinking a lot of iced tea with lemon during the day (it's hot in Phoenix!) so I just switched to decaf iced tea. I have both books now and they are very helpful. Some of the recipies do seem a bit out of my world (read: price range!) but I have found that I can make proper combinations of the foods I have and do very well. I have about 15 more pounds to go but this so easy, there's no reason to feel like stopping. I feel certain I'll reach my goal.

Summary: I found out that it is possible to lose weight!
Review: I used the Somersize video, book, and audio cassets. They really made a big differance. So I loaned it to a friend. Time went by and I started to gain weight. I paniced when my friend said " Gee I don't know where I left it?" She was only fooling. I got it back and feel confident that the program will help me again. I would suggest - get extra copies just in case.

Summary: IF THIS WORKS SO GOOD FOR OTHERS, WHY NOT FOR ME????
Review: I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE BOOK (TO THE LETTER) FOR 5 WEEKS NOW AND HAVE ONLY LOSS TWO LBS . I HAVEN'T CHEATED AT ALL! AS I READ THESE OTHER REVIEWS, I'M STARTING TO FEEL PRETTY BLUE. I LIKE THE MEALS IN THE BOOK AND IT'S SO EASY TO DO, BUT I ALSO WANT TO LOSS WEIGHT. I WATCHED SUZANNE LAST WEEK ON THE HOME SHOPPING PROGRAM AND HEARD HER SAY "I CAN TRIM THE FAT OFF OF ANYONE". WELL, SUZANNE I NEED HELP, WHAT I'M I DOING WRONG?

Summary: I love the book and the recipes
Review: I started on this program about 2 weeks ago. I have to say I don't think I have lost what all the other people on the program have and I'm not cheating. I cook her recipes and yet why aren't I doing well? I don't plan on stopping because I believe in Suzanne and what she says but I fear I am doing it wrong. I wish I could figure this out. I am trying.

Summary: What a great book, I can't believe I lost weight
Review: This book has been the answer to my prayers. I lost 5 pounds in the first week and after two months lost 18 pounds. I basically did what she said and didn't combine my foods in the wrong way it really works. I just have one question for Suzanne. Once I lost the 18 pounds I hit a stand still and didn't lose anymore, what does she suggest when the weight kinda stops coming off? Mind you I have not gained anything back and my metabolism is increasing, I would like to lose another 20 pounds or more. All and all excellent book and I would recommend to anyone (if I haven't already).

Summary: Nothing ,more than a spinoff from Fit For Life (same concept
Review: This is the same info that Harvey Diamond wrote in Fit for Life about 14 yrs ago. Food combining was the main topic in his book. The only thing about Fit for Life not enough meat. At least Suzanne's book does allow a lot more meat and eggs.

Summary: IT'S SOOOOOOOOOO EASY!!!
Review: WOW!! This book has changed my life! My energy level has skyrocketed; I have lost close to 40 lbs....and it was so easy!!! I have been creative with my own recipes and quite successful! Pizza parlor? How 'bout vegetarian pizza with no cheese and extra sauce! You'll never miss the greasy cheeses! Or...if you like greasy toppings, you can eat the topping and not the bread/dough. Or how 'bout tuna and mayo stuffed in a chilled red pepper! I work four jobs (bartending and full time student) and always have eat out/on the run; so I MUST be creative at fast food as well as regular restaraunts. Mexican? How 'bout chips and salsa, and flour tortilla's with a salad (which I use as the filling!) and a HUGE side of enchilada sauce slathered in and over the lettuce-filled tortillas! YUMMY CARB MEAL! There are so many easy ways to food combine! When one thinks about it, we like those huge burritos primarily for the salsa and sauce and eating the aforementioned meal is yet another easy way to stay within the somersizing limits!! Thank you Suzanne for sharing your secrets and changing my life -- and it IS my new way of life! I never feel I have to "cheat" because I have so many options!! If food combining is good enough for mega-babes Suzanne and Raquel Welch, it's sure good enough for me! (Ha! Know we know why they look so good and have those outstanding figures!!) And, trust me, I've turned many friends onto this book who've complimented me on my weight loss! And they, too, are loving it and experiencing spectacular results! Have lot's more creative fast food recipes too! Breakfast Jacks (no bun); cheeseburgers (no bun); cobb salads with extra blue cheese and oil and vinegar; Sugar free/fat free ice cream with nonfat milk; sugar-free pudding w/nonfat milk is another yummy desert! I could go on and on but...Bottom line: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! I love my new figure and energy!! YEEEEEEEE-HA!
