I have been doing Suzanne's diet on and off for a year or so. You can eat: meat (except for Liver), eggs, cheese, butter, oils, sour cream, cream cheese, veggies (except for corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squashes, and carrots), beans, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, any breads, bagels, as long as they are made with whole wheat flour, rye, or pumpernickel, whole-grain cereal (shredded wheat, grapenuts, regular oatmeal or any other cereal with no added sugar), also you can have skim milk. You cannot have anything made from sugar ( beets, corn syrup, honey, maple syrup, molasses), sugar (white, brown, or raw). You cannot have popcorn, pasta or breads made with white flour, or anything else made with white flour. You also cannot have avocados, coconuts, low-fat or whole milk, nuts, olives soy milk, or tofu, caffeinated coffees, teas, and sodas, coca, and alcohol. She also advocates food combining. You can eat your fats with your meat & veggies, you cannot eat a carb. with your meat, nor can you have butter on your bread. When you eat carbs you can eat veggies with them, but nothing else. When you have fruit, you have to eat it by itself then wait 20 min. then you can have a carb. meal, or wait 1 hr. and have a protein meal (bacon & eggs, or sausage & eggs....no toast).
At first it's very confusing until you learn it, then it becomes second nature. If you are interested in trying this WOE, she does have a website:
www.suzannesomers.com that can help you out, click on "community" then to your left click onto discussion, or you could go to your library and read one of her books that explains the whole WOE. I like it because I don't have to count calories, fat grams, nor limit portions.
I hope that I could be of some help. Take care. aleka
