Love this diet Reviewer: Bosch       07-02-2004 I am somersizing and love it. Read the books, it helps to understand. Good luck!

10 days and counting Reviewer: unknown       07-02-2004 Hello Everyone, I have been on Ms. Sommer's plan ( Actually Ms. Diana Schwarzbein Ph.D's plan) for 10 days now, and I have lost 12 pounds already. I know, it's mostly water at this stage, but it is great motivation! I can't even tell you how thrilled I am! Atkins is not for me, as I do love fruit and vegetables and on this plan you may have fruits on an empty stomach and complex carbs like veggies several times daily. I don't overdo them, but I do get the fiber I need without resorting to supplements. This is a great plan for anyone who is insulin resistant. My doctor said if I keep going I will be able to stop my diabetes medication as my blood sugars have been excellent!

Finally, after 30 yrs Reviewer: Rosie       07-02-2004 Finally, After 30 Years... I found how to regain and maintain my health. This book provides much more than a diet plan. She wrote a healthy life plan in an easy to understand and apply format. Her plan does not create feelings of deprivation or hunger, as you can eat anything. Calories don't count. She defines which foods will not cause the insulin production that creates fat, and when it is acceptable to eat high insulin producing food. The reading of this book made me aware of the cause of health problems.

I have tried this diet & Atkins... Reviewer: unknown       06-22-2004 The plans are pretty different. In a nutshell, Atkins is a plan with very low carbohydrate content. Thus, one eats primarily protein (meat, poultry, fish, eggs, some dairy depending on the carbo content) plus some low carbohydrate-content veggies. Sommers plan is based on the idea of so-called food combining. Her idea is that it is not good to eat primarily protein foods in the same meal with primarily starchy foods. There is a chart about which foods can be eaten together and how many hours you need to leave between each type of meal. Sommers allows for more variety in the food you eat.

SS Diet Review Reviewer: Hannah       06-09-2004 I tried Somersizing years ago, when her first book came out, but I found it difficult to stay on. Restrictive, in terms of so many hours between eating fruit and anything else, so many hours between a carb meal and a protein meal. Also, it did not tame my carb cravings like a true low-carb diet does. I didn't learn about that until my daughter introduced me to The Zone. Nowdays, I do eat a little fruit, and have some relatively high-carb starchy vegetables now and again, without triggering the massive cravings. But I could not do that on a regular basis, a la Somersizing, or I'd find myself eating everything in sight within a week. Perhaps it depends on your degree of hyperinsulimia, whether Somers' plan will be successful for you or not.
