Let's Somersize!

We decided to give Suzanne a try. It's a pretty easy diet really. Her concept is you can eat pretty much what you want as long as you combine or don't combine certain foods. For example, you can eat carbs with vegetables or you can eat protein with vegetables but you can't eat protein and carbs together. It has to do with how your body breaks down the different types of foods. You can eat fruit, but only by itself and on an empty stomach (45 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after). She has a list of what she calls "funky foods" that you are supposed to stay away from (white flour, processed sugars, vegetables high in sugar like carrots). At least until you reach your goal weight and then you can treat yourself I guess. The one thing we are refusing to do is cut out caffeine. She wants you to stick to decaf and I won't do it!

She eats like a pig. I'm serious, you should see the amount of food she has on her "sample menu." It's ridiculous. She does have some pretty great recipes. Tonight I am making a Beef and fragrant vegetables stir fry. Last night I made her recipe for chicken piccata. Oh yeah, she LOVES butter as much as Paula Deen and allows it in her diet. Hey, whatever works. I love the fact that I can eat fruit to my hearts content as a snack.
