In her book Get Skinny on Fabulous Food, Suzanne Somers teaches you to eat real food in a way that reprograms your metabolism to burn fat and give you constant source of energy. Get started with level one for weight loss by eliminating some of the foods that wreak havoc on your system -- sugar, white flour and potatoes. Then eat normal everyday foods in combinations that aid digestion and weight control.

Here are the four Somersized Food Groups:

Pro/Fats: Includes proteins like meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and fats in their natural state like oil, butter, cream and cheese.

Veggies: Includes a host of low-starch, fresh vegetables, from artichokes to peppers to zucchini and more.
