Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"I got skinny on fat", claims Suzanne Somers. It sounds too good to be true--a weight-loss programme that lets you "eat incredible, rich foods in abundant portions while the unwanted pounds effortlessly melt away." Most nutritionists would cringe at the idea that people trying to lose weight don't need to restrict their dietary fat but Suzanne Somers and her "Somercizers" insist it works. Fat (even saturated fat) isn't the enemy, she claims--its "products loaded with sugar, white flour, hydrogenatedoils and chemicals and preservatives that replace real fats." Get Skinny on Fabulous Food follows Somers' Eat Great, Lose Weight with a recap of the Somersize programme, which involves eliminating "funky foods" like sugar and starch and using a type of food combining. Also included are grateful letters from followers of the programme, menu suggestions and 150 new recipes. Recipes include such fat-filled dishes as Leslie's Mushroom Broccoli and Egg Cupcakes (with butter, oil, Swiss cheese and nine large eggs), Beef Stroganoff (with butter, oil and two cups of heavy cream), Ginger Creme Brülée (with butter, heavy cream, nine large egg yolks and even the enemy: sugar), Cappuccino Chocolate Chunk Cheesecake (with cream cheese, eggs, chocolate, sour cream and--yup--sugar). No calorie counts or nutritional breakdowns are included. --Joan Price

Over the last year I've been researching alternatives to the low-fat/high-carb diet that was no longer working for me. I picked this book up about 10 months ago but thought it sounded complicated and a bit silly, frankly (and to the English ear a bit, well, American). But it put me onto Diana Schwarzbein's "The Schwarzbein Principle" which won me over immediately and totally put me off high-carb for ever; but after 7 months on Schwarzbein I had only lost about 20lbs and seemed stuck, and I wasn't really enjoying my food. About a month ago I picked this book up again and this time it made perfect sense to me, and I understood why she sets out the rules she does - so I gave it a try and I've lost 12lbs since then! The food is so much more enjoyable than on a lower carb diet and I feel great. And the recipes really are fabulous.
Have faith - if you really want to lose weight you will do it on this programme, and you really won't feel deprived. Brilliant.

I just had to post here to say that this book is fantastic. It's an easy to follow way of eating with no calorie counting or portion control. Based on scientific research (Suzanne herself went through 9 years of medical school) it's principals are sound. There is now an official Suzanne Somers website which offers a discussion forum for those in need of support or with questions and free e-mail (hence my email address!). ...

Because I'm hypothyroid I've found that a lower-carb balanced diet works best for me and am commited to that as a lifestyle/health choice. But finding foods that fit in with those perimeters without sacrificing taste and quality isn't as easy as it looks. Atkins recipes are blah and that follows for all the other books by doctors - they're not interested in taste or living, they're making a 'regime' for you. Suzanne is clearly more like me - a foodie, with lots of French relatives who are also foodies ;o) We ENJOY eating and enjoy being healthy and fit and see no reason why they can't go together. So here's a book full of delicious, satisfying fare to tempt even a non-dieting palate - my naturally slim-n-muscled husband loves her lemon chicken especially.
But the cool bit is if you simply plan a week's meals from this as a cookbook, you'll lose weight and feel better by the weekend. The 'fog' will lift, the cravings will go, you'll feel in control and inspired. Sure, you'll have a few 'caffeine withdrawl' days and if you're used to riding the sugar rollercoaster the more natural rhythms will feel 'low energy' to you but by the weekend those will be history and in another week's good eating you'll wonder why you didn't do this years ago.
My one criticism is that the recipes aren't tailored to busy/harried moms of 4 with scant interest in cooking. BUT she's addressed the quick-n-easy aspects in subsequent books and all of her books, including this one, give excellent instructions and guidance on everything from buying produce to basic cooking skills. Suzanne taught me how to parboil garlic, not Mom ;o) And for those in the UK/Europe, the page in the back with equivalent foods and measurements is brilliant - I refer to that even when I'm cooking from (gasp) other cookbooks or recipes from the web.
One you won't regret buying and will probably be hooked on the series - I collect Suzanne's cookbooks and consider them gifts from one hot-n-healthy mama to another ;o)

ps for all the curious, 140 at 5'8', UK size 10 for 4 years now down from a high of 206, UK size 18. It does work ;o)
