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.
