Hey everyone, so I was browsing through my bookshelf the other day, and I stumbled upon this old book from way back – “Eat Great, Lose Weight” by Suzanne Somers. It got me thinking, “When did this whole Suzanne Somers diet craze actually start?” I mean, I remember it being a big deal, but the exact timeline was a bit fuzzy. So, I decided to do a little digging.
First, I flipped through the book itself. The copyright date says 1996. “Aha!” I thought, that must be it. But I wanted to be sure, so I went on a little online adventure.
- I started with a general search about Suzanne Somers, just to get a feel for her career timeline. Turns out, she was a pretty big deal in the entertainment industry, modeling, acting, the whole shebang.
- Then I narrowed my search to focus specifically on her diet. I typed in “Suzanne Somers diet” and “Somersize diet.”
- Lots of articles and summaries popped up. I skimmed through a few, and they all seemed to point back to that 1996 book.
Found out that the diet is pretty much about eating less carbs. I read that you gotta cut out some foods and not eat others at the same time. Also learned that some people call it a “starvation diet.” Who knew?
I also found a few articles that mentioned her other books on the same topic, published in the following years, which further solidified the idea that 1996 was the launch year for her diet.
Conclusion
So, there you have it. My little investigation confirmed that the Suzanne Somers diet, also known as “Somersizing,” really kicked off in 1996 with the publication of her book “Eat Great, Lose Weight.” It’s wild to think that something that started over two decades ago still sparks interest today!
