Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food Book

"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 PriceRead More
