Somersize
"Somersizing" is based on a food combining plan Suzanne Somersize started. Somersize is a respected health and beauty celebrity, whose weight loss best sellers are "Eat Great, Lose Weight", "Get Skinny on Fabulous Food" and "Eat, Cheat and Melt the Fat Away".
There is no calorie counting, no portion control - only eating normal everyday foods in combinations that will aid digestion and weight control.
Somersize food groups:
Pro/Fats: Includes proteins like meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and fats in their natural state like oil, butter, cream and cheese.
Vegetables: Includes a host of low-starch, fresh vegetables, from artichokes to peppers to zucchini and more.
Carbos: Includes whole-grain pastas, cereals, bread, beans and nonfat dairy products.
Fruit: Includes a huge variety of fresh fruit, from apples to peaches to tangerines and more.
Foods to eliminate (also known as "Funky Foods" by S. Somersize)
Includes sugars, highly starchy foods, caffeine and alcohol.
Sugars: White sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, molasses, honey, maple syrup, beets, carrots.
Caffeine and Alcohol: Coffee, caffeinated teas, caffeinated sodas, cocoa, beer, hard alcohol, wine.

Basic guidelines to Level one (the weight loss phase of the program)
- Eliminate all junk food
- Eat fruit alone, on an empty stomach
- Eat proteins/fats with veggies
- Eat carbs with veggies
- Keep pro/fats separate from carbos
- Wait three hours between meals if switching from a pro/fats meal to a carbos meal, or vice versa
- Do not skip meals. Eat at least three meals a day, and eat until you feel satisfied and comfortably full.
