Suzanne Somer's Eat Great, Lose Weight

Theory:

The Eat Great, Lose Weight diet is based on eliminating certain foods, separating other foods into 4 groups, and somerizing or combining these foods according to certain rules. 

Level One: Weight Loss portion

Three steps

1 – eliminate - all “Funky Foods” including sugars, high starch foods like white flour, potatoes, caffeine, alcohol

2 – separate – food into 4 groups

·         Proteins/Fats – meat, poultry, fish, eggs, oil, butter, cheese

·         Veggies – fresh vegetables

·         Carbos – whole-grain pastas, cereals, breads, beans, and nonfat dairy products

·         Fruits – fresh fruits

3 – combine or somerize– governed by the following rules

menu_array_vertical.js·         Eat fruits alone, on an empty stomach

·         Eat proteins/fats with veggies and no fat

·         Keep proteins/fats separate from Carbos

·         Wait three hours between meals if switching from a protein/fats meal to a Carbos meal, or vice versa

·         Do not skip meals. Eat three meals a day, and eat until you feel satisfied and comfortably full. 

Level Two – Maintenance Portion

No hard and fast rules. Just moderation.  Even on level two try to keep proteins/fats and carbos separate.  You eat mostly on level one and decide when you want to treat yourself. Still try to eat fruit completely separate. Add some sugar and funky foods. Have dessert once a week.
