| Nancy,
Please post the guidelines. I've been thinking about purchasing this
book and would be interested in hearing the basics first.
Jan
P.S. Are we talking about her new book "Eat Great, Lose Weight"?

The principals that make sense to you are not based in
fact. The fitness industry has stated over and over
that there is not one study that proves any of the
theories of food combining.
I agree, I think it would be difficult to live that way.
If it's difficult, I think you can predict what your long-term
results would be.

Yes, this is from her new book. Here's the one-page reference
guide.
1. Eliminate all these foods that Suzanne considers "funky" foods:
Sugars Starches Combo Proteins
====== ======== /fats and Carbos
================
Beets, Carrots Bananas, Corn, Potatoes, Avocados
Corn Syrup, pasta made from semolina Coconuts, Liver,
Honey, Maple syrup, or white flour, Low fat or whole
Molasses, Sugar Popcorn, Sweet Potatoes, milk, nuts,
white flour, white rice, olives, tofu
winter squashes
Caffeine and Alcohol
====================
Alcoholic Beverages
Caffeinated coffees, teas, and sodas,
cocoa
2. Eat fruits alone, on an empty stomach.
3. Eat Proteins/Fats with Veggies.
4. Eat Carbos with Veggies and no fat.
5. Keep Proteins/Fats separate from Carbos.
6. Wait three hours between meals if switching from a Proteins/Fats
meal to a carbos meals, or vice versa.
7. Do not skip meals. Eat three meals a day, and eat until you
feel comfortably full.
Proteins and Fats Veggies
================= =======

| Hi Again.
Like I said in my first note, some of her guidelines make sense to
me. Her book is good but I would find it hard to live this way. I
enjoy cooking good low-fat meals and on Suzanne's lifestyle, you
couldn't each a chicken breast with a potato, rice, etc (i.e.,
combining proteins with carbos).

| Weird. You probably lose weight from anxiety over what to eat when.

| Check out this months issue of Good Housekeeping. It has an article
rating the most recent diet books. Suzanne Sommers book didn't get a
great review.

| Re -1:
Thanks for the info on Good Housekeeping - I picked up a copy
yesterday. This is a good article since it reviews alot of the
current diet books (can't remember them all but here's some):
- Suzanne Somers Eat Great/Look Great
- The Zone
- New Carbohydrate Addicts Book (don't remember the name)
- Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution
- Others
I think the best advice is to go by what sounds or makes sense to
you. I have Suzanne's book and generally it is a pretty healthy
way to eat - you eat mostly everything but watch food combining
so I can't see why this wouldn't be a good diet as long as you
get in all your nutrients. I tried it for a while but went off
of it but I am thinking of trying it again since I do have problems
with digestion, etc.

| Am I crazy, or is the real "meat" of the diet the actual foods
consumed, and the "combining" part is really more of a gimmick to
differentiate it, and focus you away from the actual calorie counting?

| Jeb,
I'm not sure how to answer your question - basically, on this program
you can eat until you are satisfied (within reason, of course!) but
you can't combine carbs with proteins in the same meal - I think
I outlined this program in one of the replies.
This is supposed to be more of a lifestyle change vs. a diet where
you count calories and go off.
The combining part of the diet is supposed to help with the way your
system digests foods, etc.
Let me know if you need more info. I am not an "expert" on this diet
since I just started it but would be glad to research any questions
you have. I followed her diet today so far:
Breakfast (A carb meal)
=========
Whole Wheat Bagel
Non-fat yogurt (non-fat
dairy counts as carbs)
Lunch (Protein/Fats) can be combined with veggies - no carbs allowed!!
=====
Polish Sausage (protein)
Cottage Cheese (protein)
Sauerkraut (veggie)
I would have gotten a chicken breast instead of the polish sausage
but the cafeteria was out of them!
Dinner will probably be chicken with veggies (no funky foods so far -
i.e., sugar, potatoes, etc.).
I am more or less trying to maintain my weight loss now - if I can
eat this way and lose weight - great!

But veggies *are* carbs!
|
| 929.11 | Yes - but.... | BSS::KELLY_NA | | Fri May 23 1997 14:50 | 15 |
| In this diet, carbos are the following:
- whole grain breads
- whole grain pastas
- cereals
- non-fat milk products
- beans
- mustard
Veggies are listed as:
- broccoli, caulifloer, asparagus, green beans, celery, mushrooms,
cucumber, zucchini, lettuce, spinach, tomato, eggplant.
