The Susanne Somers Diet, also called Somersizing, is essentially
a low carbohydrate plan that emphasizes food combinations. It's a
two-phase plan, with the first phase devoted to weight loss and
avoidance of what Somers calls "funky foods." These include sugar,
white flour, honey, maple syrup, carrot, avocado, banana, sweet
potatoes, nuts, whole milk and yogurt. Combination rules include
eating fruit alone and on an empty stomach, combining vegetables
with fats and proteins, combining carbohydrates with vegetables and
waiting a minimum of three hours between meals with different
combinations.
