The Beast – The former actress has one of the nation’s top books, touting secret cancer cures. But these methods, reports Gerald Posner, may actually increase the disease risk. Specifically, Posner reveals how:
•Her book promotes a regimen that many doctors believe causes cancer rather than cures it.
•This regimen might have contributed to her own bout with cancer.
•Several doctors and experts she uses as the basis for her book have medically checkered backgrounds.
•Cancer is a recurring thread and marketing tool for her wide-ranging business interests.
•One outside expert, based on his examination of 30 years of photographs, believes she had plastic surgery, which would undercut her reputation for health through alternative medicine.
Suzanne Somers, who came to fame in the 1970s as the ditzy Chrissy Snow on the iconic Three’s Company, yesterday pulled off the kind of feat generally reserved for the likes of John Grisham and Malcolm Gladwell. She scored her second New York Times bestseller in three years, Knockout: Interviews with Doctors who are Curing Cancer and how to Prevent Getting it in the First Place. Knockout further established the 63-year-old Somers as the high priestess of alternative health remedies.
More than that, Somers has positioned herself, with Knockout, as a messenger with the solution to a top killer in human history. “There are doctors out there who are curing cancer.”
Believe it or not, I’m on Suzanne Somers latest diet. She’s written dozens of diet books that specialize in losing weight through a hormonal system, but she offers different ways to lose weight through cutting carbs, exercise and choosing the right foods.

It turns out my doctor in New york is also the consultant for her books. The doctor was recommended by a friend who had found her contact information in a recent best selling Suzanne Somers Diet book. Her techniques are invaluable and applicable to both men and women. Here is an interview she did on The Today Show. and also here’s a cover of her latest book.

The diet I’m on that was recommended by her doctor is tough handle but doable. She emphasized cutting out all Sugar, just like Britney Spears No Sugar Diet. And yes, that means fruits. The goal is to wean the body off sugar and regulate insulin, the fat producing hormone and also triggers stress and fatigue. It works because lately I’ve had a lot more energy and lost like 5 pounds every two weeks. She also emphases low calorie, and suggested a protein rich shake that’s low in calorie but rich in all the nutrients and neccessary vitamins. The diet also emphasizes healthy cuts of lean protein, and eating good fats (olive oil, almonds and other nuts) in moderate amounts rather than bad fats which you would find in a fatty cut of meat like prime rib. She does allow some fruits, but its limited to certain ones that are low in sugar, and nutrient packed like blueberries.
I’m definitely going to talk more about dieting and healthy weight loss. it’s something I’m interested in that I’ve been researching for a long time. Small portions, and cutting back gradually is a lot healthier than miracle diets. Suzanne Somers is less miracle diet and more healthy and common sense and realistic. It may possible to lose weight quickly, but the goal is maintaining the weight loss. What’s so good about losing weight, only to gain it back and maybe more.
