Unhappy Suzanne Somers-Somersizing A Fraud?

I heard recently that Suzanne Somers and her Atkinsesque diet were full of contradictions and that she doesn't even follow it.
Anybody out there know anything?

I have heard people wondering about her nutritional credentials . . . but she is quite open that she did not come up with the plan herself; and the basic ideas are certainly found elsewhere.

I've never heard it called a fraud. There are people on various sites on the net saying it works for them.

She has been following a similar regime for so long, I think it would have come out long ago if she had been observed not to follow it.

Different things work for different people. Bottom line, if something doesn't work for you, find a plan that does.

Hello, I went to your website and didn't quiet get it, because it was selling a book. I'm not a Summersizing person, so I know nothing about the diet. I have seen her on TV, and she had mentioned about there being different ways of eating for different ages because she felt that the older we get the less we can handle carbs. effiently. Well, she's an average person like the rest of us and found what works for her. I don't personally agree with the food combination thing mentioned on the site, which is what they said she does, but I do agree that our diets probably should change as we age since we get less active as we get older. The breast cancer thing that the site mentioned, is a very low blow and hurt me a little since all kinds of cancer runs in my family. Cancer is NOT fun and not something you want to advertise when you get it; however, everyone finds out anyway. The medicine that they give you after you've had your mastectomey/lumpectomey really does cause weight gain. Women also start to gain weight naturally when they turn 40, although some women do get lucky and stay slim. As far as her being 115 lbs. when she was young, what's the point? I was 110 lbs. when I was in my late 20s/early 30s. I'm 115 lbs. now. No big deal. I firmed up and can fit in clothing sizes I couldn't fit in when I was younger. I use to wear a size 7, then a size 8, and now a size 6. Sounds wierd, but it's true. I weight more now and wear smaller clothes. My thing is when people pedal those weight loss chemical factories...Now there's looking for trouble.
