Summary: More good food to eat
Review: Of course, there are lots of criticisms because of the recent revelation that the author has breast cancer. But after years of gaining weight on a lowfat diet, I can't deny that I dropped 20 pounds with the Somersize system. I feel better since going totally decaf, an important part of this plan. Caffeine does more damage than anyone realizes (See "Caffeine Blues" for more info on that subject.) I'm not hungry all the time like I used to be, I'm satisfied after eating lunch, and I enjoy eating again. I don't miss potatoes, carrots, bananas, and the other high-sugar/starch things I used to eat because I was told they are "healthy." Eventually, I hope to get rid of the rest of the weight I need to lose--but that's coming. There isn't anything in the 7 rules of the plan that any nutritionist would argue with, although they would probably argue about the food combining business. I don't--it works, and the lady who loaned me the first SS book lost weight on it too. Some of the info is repeated, agreed, and one or two recipes were also repeated for the sake of new readers who might not yet have the first two books. But still, the food is very good, no arguement about that. If you start doing the deprivation thing, you'll never keep the weight off. And that's the whole point. Yes, the family pictures get a bit much, but she writes from experience. That's her experience, but she was also a teenage mother at one time, living paycheck to paycheck, like a lot of other people in this country. She wasn't born into that lifestyle, she earned it.

Summary: Yes and No
Review: O.K., I purchased the book and have read it. Yes, I'm going to try it NOT because it's Suzanne Somers, but because--after doing a lot of searching and trying of other "lifestyle changes"--the information makes some sense. HOWEVER, I am NOT a big Suzanne Somers fan. I really could have used more information and recipes. (If Alan Hamel makes such great smoothies, then how come there were not any recipes for smoothies?) I did not need the Suzanne Somers/Alan Hamel family photographs littered throughout the book. I did not need to read about the lavish Southern California lifestyle she chooses to live. I don't know if I would purchase the other two books. I'm still sifting out the valid information from the marketing of the celebrity ego.

Summary: Same book - different title
Review: This book was very dissapointing - I thought I got a new book - It's just the same as book 1 and 2 - I think it is an interesting program - and I hope to do well on it - but I waited for 6 weeks for the new book to start - and really feel like I got taken.

Summary: Eat, Cheat and Get Liposuction
Review: I've read this book and there's not a shred of scientific truth in it. For many overweight women, in fact, the advice could be unhealthy, if not so misleading it becomes downright dangerous. If you admire Suzanne Somers as a celebrity, great. You can even put her poster on your wall. But don't get your MEDICAL INFORMATION and health advice from her, for godsakes! This woman has breast cancer!

Summary: more of the same
Review: Much of the book is just a repeated version of her other two books. Although her plan may work, her repackaging for more sales is a real turnoff.

Summary: MORE FROM SUZANNE!
Review: Well, here's another option from Suzanne Somers on how to look and feel better and lose weight eating fats. - Does it really work? - Her research says yes! Anything that works is worth trying. The book offers "Somersize" facts and recipes to help weight-watchers eat food in right combinations. That, says Ms Somers is the key to shedding unwanted pounds. Included are health cautions regarding cholestral levels and dangers of hormone imbalance. Sweets, meats, and creamy sauces are among the permissable foods. This lady is like the energizer bunny- she just keeps finding ways to re-invent herself, and keeps us informed. An interesting approach to weight loss.

Summary: More Info, but same recipes
Review: Suzanne's new book contains more info on the benefits of this way of eating but it duplicates many recipes that appeared in her previous books. That being said, this book does have more desserts than the other two books. All in all this is a pretty good book, it doesn't seem as braggy as the other books about the wonderful family, many trips, etc. A minor complaint, there are several advertisements for her new sweetner and her website which hawks all her misc. stuff.

Summary: Tapping into America's Fat Habit
Review: Suzanne Somers, unfortunately, is making money by telling us what we think we want to hear: eat such foods as deep-fried turkey, and look slim, svelte, and sexy. The truth is a bit harder for us to swallow: we need to eat smaller portions, we need to learn to like food that is low in fat, and we need to exercise regularly. No big secrets, just a bit of common sense and discipline.

Summary: ********** THIS BOOK DESERVES 10 STARS **********
Review: I never thought I could feel so good, lose weight, and have so much energy! I bought this book for my mom the day it came out... She is a big fan of Suzanne Somers and can't get enough of cooking in the kitchen. I thought, "What a perfect book for her," not realizing how much it would change my life. Mom started to explain "Somersizing" to me and it really made sense. She told me I had to try it because she was feeling a difference in her waist size after only a few days... and had so much more energy and ambition. Though I'm not in need of losing as much weight as mom (don't tell her I said that!), I was in need of gaining energy, so I got EAT, CHEAT, AND MELT THE FAT AWAY for myself. Not only did I start to feel more comfortable in my clothes, but I had so much more energy... enough to tell you and all my friends and family about this book! This book is an easy read and Suzanne explains everything so you understand how and why this program works. Did I mention all the great recipes included in this book?
