Suzanne Somers Diet Review

Does the Right Combination of Foods Work?

Decided to send in my Suzanne Somers diet review. Hope that it meets your requirements. Everyone has probably heard of Suzanne Somers, and we’ve seen the pictures of how great she looks. When I heard she had come out with a diet program, I thought I would try it. I figured if it worked for her, it will work for me.

I didn’t have much weight to lose—about fifteen pounds—but I was having trouble taking it off. I wasn’t sure about eliminating foods from my diet because those I had tried with the premise didn’t work for me because I became hungry or bored.

I was desperate by this time, and a friend had suggested this one. She said it helped her take off ten pounds in less than a month, so I figured what the heck?

The Suzanne Somers diet has two main phases, the diet phase and the maintenance phase. During the diet phase, you are allowed very few carbohydrates are permitted. You are also not permitted yogurt or whole milk.

The maintenance phase allows you to slow return a few carbohydrates to your diet. You have to be careful of the foods you eat because some need to be eaten alone while others must be consumed with something else. I didn’t see the justification for it, but that’s what the diet program said, so I followed it. The lack of carbohydrates seemed to be rather unhealthy, but since I only had fifteen pounds to lose, I figured I could handle it.

I found the Suzanne Somers diet program very difficult to follow because of the restrictions. The advertisements saying you wouldn’t be hungry were true, but I was exhausted all the time because of the carbohydrate restrictions.

Because I was so tired, I was unable to exercise in order to help burn the fat and lose the weight as I should have been able to do. I have to admit it was a good thing I was single because I barely made it through work. I reached the point that my supervisor was complaining how long it took me to complete my work, so I had to give it up or lose my job. Anyone who knows me can tell you I was very energetic before I started this diet program.

I can’t speak for others, only for myself, and for me it didn’t work. I couldn’t keep up the pace and I became bored with the meal plans. Maybe my girlfriend is stronger than I am, but I just couldn’t exist on so few carbohydrates. I even tried working in the maintenance phase with more carbohydrates, but I was too run down to be able to handle it.

I think during the time I was on the Suzanne Somers diet program I lost about five pounds, and after I gave up, it took me about a week to regain my energy. I’ve since consulted a nutrition book, and I’m losing a little at a time.

I would like to say the diet is a good one, but I see it as being unhealthy and boring. My doctor says there is no concrete evidence to support the theory that eating certain foods together helps with weight loss.
