This is the book that launched "Sommercizing" the program that thosands of people say is the easiest way to lose and maintain weight loss.

Somers believes that diets and deprivation do not help people lose weight in the long-term. In Eat Great, Lose Weight, she explains the generally low carbohydrate, food-combining plan: eliminate "funky foods" such as sugar and white flour; eat fruits alone on an empty stomach; eat proteins and fats with vegetables and without carbohydrates; eat carbohydrates with vegetables and without fat.

Seven simple rules to weight loss that still allow a tremendous amount of food choices, choices that are a far cry from traditional "diet" food. Imagine being able to regularly feast on such dishes as French Onion Soup, Roasted Leg of Lamb, or Pork Tenderloin with sage? It sounds too good to be true, but Somers explains the hows and whys of her program and how she used her own experiences fighting weight gain to come up with it. She also offers medical backing for the theories presented.

A lot of the media has unfairly grouped Suzanne's program with more extreme low carb plans. In fact, it is quite sensible and balanced, allowing for fruits, pastas and other carbohydrate rich food. Remember, other than a few exceptions, it's not what you eat, or how much you eat, it's what you combine with it.

Suzanne's recipes are outstanding. There are 16 pages of gorgeous full color photos to inspire you and over 100 recipes for everything from breakfast to desserts and everything in between. This book and it's follow-up, Get Skinny on Fabulous Food, are two of my favorite, most used cookbooks, year round, whether I'm focusing on weight loss or not. I can't give any higher recommendation than that!
