Question 1

i was wondering does the suzanne somers diet work?

Accepted Answer

Diet: The Suzanne diet worked for Her. I cant tell you if it will work for you since everyone is unique and different. The idea of eating healthy foods for a better metabolism is a good idea. She eliminates starches and carbohydrates, I agree that simple sugars such as corn syrup should be eliminated. However, your body runs on glucose and needs the complex starch from oatmeal for example.

Question 8

is drinking 1/2 gallon of milk a day ok?

Accepted Answer

Not in my opinion: There is no consensus on this & research studies show conflicting results, but 1/2 gallon seems excessive to me. I say more water/less milk!
i believe cow's milk is the perfect food for baby cows but not for adult humans! if you do drink milk i strongly advise choosing rbgh-free & ideally organic milk. For the pros & cons of this issue see http://milk.Procon.Org/view.Answers.Php?Questionid=1317.

Question 10

help please! is drinking a gallon of water a day bad?

Accepted Answer

Probably OK: A gallon a day is probably more than what you need if you are not exercising vigorously or sweating a lot.   However if you are feeling well otherwise, there is no harm done. Be sure that you don't have any health conditions which may cause you to have excessive thirst (diabetes is just one example) and urination.
