Rating:  Summary: Excellent Book - Great Information! Review: As a child I ate a ton of carbs and was fat! As a teenager I elimated sugar and ate a great deal of fats and was skinny for 10 years. After some life changing events I started eating the carbs again for comfort and in 6 short years of this type of diet my weight skyrocketed to an all time high of 225 and constantly increasing. I am only 30 years old and this was not supposed to happen to me (I thought this only happened to older people). I had absolutely no energy and was extremely depressed. To make matters worse I also suffered from extremely painful irratable bowel syndrome! My physician recommended the Suzanne Somers book and mentioned that he has had several patients lose a tremendous amount of weight and have kept it off for long periods of time, in his opinion "A true measure of a good eating plan". I immediately purchased the book, read it from cover-to-cover that night and started the "diet" the next morning. I have been on the plan 4 days and have lost 6 lbs! Each day seems better and better. Susanne's book made me remember that my body just cannot tolerate the carbohydrates and caffiene - which had become the bulk of my adult diet. I hope to be one of the many who have lost large amts of weight and keep it off from her plan, I am confidant I will. Fortunately I have saved my old "skinny jeans" from my thin period and look forward to wearing them with pride once again. Thanks Suzanne!!!!
Rating:  Summary: Easy way to drop those extra pounds ! Review: I saw Suzanne on a talk show selling her book and doing a cooking demo. I thought great another celebrity trying to make more money! Once I listened to her it all seemed to make a lot of sense. I bought both of her books and started trying her way of eating. With in 4 weeks I had lost 15 lbs. and my husband lost 11 lbs. We went on a two week trip to Italy and totally ate anything we desired. However because of our new weight due to Somersizing our stomach had shrunk and it didn't take as much food to satisfy our appetite. We have been home a week and back to our new eating habits and also I have lost another lb. Thank you for our new life style and energy!
Rating:  Summary: This Works! Review: My husband, son and I have been on this diet for 2 months. We're all sold! My husband has lost 15 lbs. I've lost 22 lbs. Our greatest success is our 17 year old son who is 5'11'' and has gone from 250 lbs to 208 lbs. - 32 lbs.! We all look and feel so much better. We've found the diet easy to follow and have adjusted our way of eating, it's now natural to us. We've all "cheated" from time to time just as Suzanne instructed us to do. My son wants to lose 20 lbs. more - and we KNOW he'll make it. My heartfelt thanks to Suzanne Sommers for sharing her story with our family. (A side note - I made the Decadent Chocolate Cake and don't recommend it, however the Sugarless Cheesecake is very good).

Rating:  Summary: Eating lots of great food, and losing weight Review: I have been on this plan for about 2 1/2 months not always consistently but I have lost at least 26 pounds. Now I am on it consistently and the pounds are melting off. It took a couple of weeks to see results, but now everybody is noticing the lose and asking me what I am doing. So I am doing the best I can to spread the word. I have been able to eat lots of food, and never feel hungry as I usually did on diet plans. The recipes that my wife and I have tried have been wonderful. It was hard at first to give up some of my carbs, mostly the pasta and meat sauce, or sandwiches stuffed with mayo and meat. But, I am used to it now and cruising right along. 30 pounds to go. Thanks Suzanne for your breakthrough plan.
Rating:  Summary: Never been on a diet - Trying this for the first time Review: I am trying this diet. It seems to have worked for many people. The only dieting I have ever done is attempting to skip meals. I want to lose at least 36 pounds. I am 5'1.5" and I weigh 146 pounds. I just had a baby so that's the problem. I have always had a nice figure, and hate being this heavy. Sincerely Janetp.s. I'll update and let you all know how I'm doing. I want to succeed at this; I've got high hopes.
Rating:  Summary: It Works! Review: I have been on this program for about 5 weeks now and have lost 19lbs. It has become a way of life. It wasn't easy giving up sugar, but, after a few days my sugar cravings were gone. You have to watch out for hidden sugars in some foods so read labels carefully. I'm eating more healthy foods and do not have to give up some of my favorites. The recipes are delicious and easy to follow. This program makes you think about what your eating and a little planning is necessary. I would love to hear from any fellow "sommersizers" . P.S. I heard on TV that Dennis Franz from NYPD Blue is on the program and lost 35lbs.
Rating:  Summary: DIDN'T WORK FOR ME ! Review: Followed the diet exactly, ate more food than I ever have before for 4 weeks, looked better, but weight remained the same...think the low carb diet does dehydrate you, which makes you appear slimmer. Also, serious concerns over cholesterol levels.
Rating:  Summary: I haven't found anything better Review: I've never tryed anything better than this. In 5 weeks I lost 25 pounds and the next month I lost 12. This diet makes sense. With some exercise and this way of eating I'm on the right track. I've never lost weight so easily before in my life. Also my health is getting better, I don't have diabetes anymore or other health problems. I will continue and let you know how far I've gotten Thank you Suzanne Somers for all your work.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Review: Suzanne, My wife purchased the book but doesn't understadn some of the terms you use for cooking with herbs and etc
