Now I know that that is just the phenomena of eating this way. Most all of my letters say I hit a plateau and then one morning I woke up and the melt had happened. – Suzanne Somers
Clean, tasty, real foods do not come processed in boxes or bags; they come from the earth, the sea, the field, or the farm. – Suzanne Somers
When your body absorbs toxins, it stores them in fat, which is why fiber and probiotics are strategic weapons for weight loss. Fiber keeps your colon healthy and reduces your body’s absorption of toxins. – Suzanne Somers
Our modern, deadline-a-day lifestyle overtaxes our adrenal glands, which end up overproducing cortisol, which in turn makes it nearly impossible to sleep and can put you at risk for a heart attack. Raised cortisol also boosts your insulin levels, which can cause you to pack on the pounds, especially around the midsection. – Suzanne Somers
Sometimes, when you are in the public eye, you just really need to just be part of the crowd, and look at other people rather than other people look at you. – Suzanne Somers
Socially, in most groups I tempered my conversations on my approach to health because those who entrusted their lives to allopathic, ‘standard of care’ Western doctors might not want to entertain the idea that they might have made the wrong choice or that their way wasn’t the best way. – Suzanne Somers
Diets – the ultimate empty promise perpetuating the same cycle over and over again. We’ve all been victims of yo-yo dieting. We stick to some diets longer than others, but c’mon, just how much cabbage soup can a person eat? – Suzanne Somers
It is a very brave choice to go against traditional medicine and embrace the alternative route. It’s easier to try the traditional route and then, if it fails, go to the alternatives, but often it can be too late. – Suzanne Somers
I am not a doctor or a scientist, but merely a passionate layperson, a filter, a messenger. I spoke with so many patients who are living normal, happy, fulfilled lives, and their enthusiasm and great quality of life convinced me that you can indeed live with cancer. – Suzanne Somers
I balance my hormones with bioidentical hormones, I eat organic, I take supplements as determined by lab work, I sleep eight hours nightly, I use organic cosmetics and green household cleaners, and I avoid toxins as best I can. – Suzanne Somers
I actually have never been to a gym. I haven’t had time. I have been working for the last 25 years. I just don’t have time to put on a little outfit and go to the gym and work out and clean up and come home. – Suzanne Somers
The reason I wrote ‘I’m Too Young for This!’ is to spare young women the suffering of hormonal loss – and it is true suffering. You can’t sleep, you gain weight for no reason, you bloat for no reason, your moods are altered, and your sex drive is diminished. – Suzanne Somers
I started dieting. I dieted, dieted, dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some. – Suzanne Somers
Based on eating everyday foods in specific combinations, Somersizing is a lifestyle that will change your way of thinking about how to lose weight and how to increase your energy. Eating the Somersize way is a pleasure. It is a program for life, a program I will happily live on for the rest of my life. – Suzanne Somers
You can manage cancer. You don’t have to be degraded by humiliating treatments and protocols. And in some cases, you can be cured of cancer. – Suzanne Somers
‘Get Skinny’ is my sixth book. I look over the books that I’ve written, and my subject matters are varied, and I write books pertaining to that which I’m dealing with at the moment. – Suzanne Somers
Be sure to buy organic versions of the ‘dirty dozen:’ the fruits and vegetables that, when grown conventionally, are loaded with pesticides and chemicals: Grapes, apples, lettuce, bell peppers, carrots, nectarines, peaches, strawberries, pears, kale, and celery. – Suzanne Somers
I appreciate health care that gets to the root cause of our symptoms and promotes wellness, rather than the one-size-fits-all drug-based approach to treating disease. I love maintaining an optimal quality of life – naturally. – Suzanne Somers
Now I understand what was happening. I don’t particularly gain water; I don’t have water retention. – Suzanne Somers
After working with many nutritionists, reading books, and practicing trial and error on my own body, I have finally found a way to control my weight without deprivation. I call my program ‘Somersizing,’ and Somersizing is not a diet. Diet is a nasty four-letter word that conjures up negative thoughts of sacrifice and obsession and guilt. – Suzanne Somers
The biggest myth about aging is that we can’t do anything about it. That it’s a road to being decrepit, frail, and sick. – Suzanne Somers
It’s not the fat that’s making you fat: it’s not understanding separating carbohydrates from protein and fat. – Suzanne Somers
I made a lot of friends over the years and I would always look at what they were eating. All of them were skinny. I would think that I would like to eat like that. – Suzanne Somers
What I really need is for people to know that I don’t just do this, I do this and this and this and this. We all have creativity in us and we all are multi-dimensional and we are all interested in a lot of things and that women are fabulous. We can handle a lot of things. – Suzanne Somers
That’s what the gas is about, that’s what the bloating is about and that’s what the fat storage is about. – Suzanne Somers
We stopped cleaning our houses with lemon water and vinegar like our mothers did, and we clean with chemicals. We’re breathing chemicals, and then everyone wonders why cancer is the biggest killer. – Suzanne Somers
They are no longer going to serve you well. You have to commit. I think the biggest word is commit. I hear women say to me all the time, and men – I want to, I want to. – Suzanne Somers
Do not skip meals. Eat three meals a day and eat until you feel satisfied and comfortably full. – Suzanne Somers
Having cancer is a lonely experience. It is the one time in your life that you cannot ask those closest to you, ‘What should I do?’ It’s too heavy a burden to place on another person. This is your life, your decision, and cancer kills. – Suzanne Somers
For a slim, sexy body, it’s important to eat protein every day – preferably at every meal. Be sure to ask about the origins of your meat, poultry and seafood. If you can’t afford organic, free-range meats, opt for natural poultry, pork, and beef that’s raised without antibiotics or hormones. – Suzanne Somers
