I’ve tried every diet out there. After I had my children I had 20 lbs to lose after each one. The only diet that worked, with exercise of course, was the Suzanne Somer’s diet. In the process I bought 2 of her books and still make a handful of her recipes. This particular recipe is found in her book, Eat Great, Lose Weight. You can make taco salad or tacos if you want the carbs.
Ingredients;
- 2 TBS vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 1 head lettuce, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 6 oz cheese, grated
- 6 TBS sour cream
- 6 green onions, chopped
- Salsa
Directions;
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Turn up heat to high and add beef. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Lower heat and add all spices, water and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce and simmer for 10 minutes. Assemble salad.

I agree! No other diet has ever really worked like the Somers diet. Thank you for posting one of our favorite recipes from her book.
