Who doesn’t remember Suzanne Somers from her role on the famous 1970’s sitcom “Three’s Company” where she played the role of the ditzy blond. Somers, now well into her sixties, has over the last decade become famous for her books espousing controversial views on medical subjects from cancer treatment to bio-identical hormone therapy. I’ll be writing some more about her cancer book and hormone regimen in follow on articles.In this beauty blog article, I decided to check out her SomerSizing Diet and lifestyle. Somers has branded one of these quintessential “celebrity women who have conquered their diet struggles and now tell us how they did it” diets called SomerSize. It’s perplexing to me that celebrity women who are problem dieters most of their lives, become the ones that write books telling us how to eat right. It makes me wonder if we should listen to what these people are saying at all.
Sommers herself has penned several diet related books including Eat Great, Lose Weight and Get Skinny on Fabulous Food. Somers admits in her books that she fell-prey to fad diets and the pressure to be thin for television and acting roles when she was younger. The problem with the fad diets are that they encourage fast weight loss by reducing food intake leading to feelings of deprivation during the rapid weight loss phase of the diet followed by binging and often regaining of weight later
