Most Popular Low Carb Diet Plans - 8. Somersizing

Suzanne Somers first introduced "Somersizing" in Suzanne Somers Eat Great, Lose Weight in 1992. Somersizing is a way of eating in which you cut sugar and "funky foods" and eat plenty of fats, proteins and good carbs like vegetables and fruit. Foods must be combined in certain ways so that the body easily digests them. Dieters Somersize in two steps, the first (Level One) to lose weight and induce "the melt" of fat and the second (Level Two) for ongoing maintenance of their ideal weight.

Somers separates foods into four Somersizing food groups: Proteins/Fat, Veggies, Carbos, and Fruit. She suggests that fruit be eaten on an empty stomach. Proteins/Fat includes meat, dish, eggs, natural oils, butter, cream and cheese. Veggies include low starch fresh vegetables. Carbos covers whole-grain breads, pastas and cereals and non-fat dairy products.

She lists "Seven Easy Steps to Somersizing":

1. Eliminate all Funky Food.
2. East fruit alone, on an empty stomach: 20 minutes before a Carbos meal, 1 hour before a Pro/Fats meal and at least 2 hours before the last meal of the day.
3. Eat Pro/Fats with Veggies.
4. Eat Carbos with Veggies.
5. Keep Pro/Fats and Carbos separate.
6. Wait 3 hours between meals if switching from Pro/Fats to Carbos or vice versa.
7. Eat at least 3 meals a day and do not skip meals.
