Jerry: Susan Summers or is it Somers? Seems weird... but anyway I am definitely somersizing this upcoming season. Heard something about her on ediets
Emily: The amazing thing about this way of eating is it kills your sweet tooth. It along with the South Beach diet make it is easy to turn away from refined carbs.
Somersizer: Rules number 2 is NOT true; it is not part of the Somersize recommendations. This diet is great! Eating carbs and drinking diet sodas (and real ones) will make you crave more carbs. Once you get away from the sugar you don't crave it anymore.
Somersizer: There are NO calorie restrictions in Somersizing; and it is the LEAST rigid way of eating I have ever done. You do NOT count calories at all.
Anonymous: This program changed my life! You are never hungry and you eat the best foods in the world! The hard part? You have to get off the two most addictive drugs in the world: sugar adn caffiene. I have so much healthier and slimmer!
Mona: This is the best diet, easy to understand and you don't ave to think anymore. I lost 18 pds. in 2.5 weeks, also exercised, but had the energy for the first in my life, to actually exercise.

This is the only program I have ever heard of where you don't count calories or points or anything else for that matter. It's all about food combining. That's it!! It is so easy. I lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks and for me that is a huge compliment. I love Suzanne and think that she is a godsent for sending us this fabulous program.
