The Sonoma Diet Review

The Sonoma Diet is based upon the eating styles of two different regions–the Sonoma Valley in California, and the region around the Mediterranean Sea. It stresses eating very healthy foods and has a list of 10 “power foods” which they incorporate in many of the recipes.

One of the major components of the Sonoma Diet is portion control. You should use a 7 inch plate or 2 cup bowl for breakfast and a 9 inch plate for lunch and dinner. They’ll tell you how to divide up those plates so that you’re getting a good amount of the right kinds of foods.

There are three “waves” to the diet. Wave 1 is the most restrictive and lasts only 10 days. It’s during this time that you’ll be cutting out refined sugars from your diet. You should expect the largest weight loss during Wave 1. Wave 2 takes you into a slightly less restrictive weight loss phase. During this wave, you are encouraged to have a glass of wine with your meals. You remain in this wave until you have reached your goal weight. After that, you move on to Wave 3, which is based on healthy eating with occasional treats.

This diet is about eating slowly and consciously and really enjoying the food that you are eating.

If you are sick of counting calories, then the Sonoma Diet could be the right diet for you. The focus on portion control is timely. We all have heard about how portion sizes have increased over the years. Many people don’t realize how small a real portion of food should actually be. Watching your portion sizes is one of the most effective ways to lose weight, especially if you don’t want to count calories.

The diet also focuses on eating a wide variety of healthy, natural foods. You should include large amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables. Many people also appreciate that they are allowed a glass of wine with dinner. Most other diets forbid alcohol.

While the Sonoma Diet claims that it is not a low carb diet, some critics point out that it is, in fact very low in carbohydrates, especially the first wave. However, the main focus is on eliminating refined carbohydrates which are not good for you.

If you are going to follow the Sonoma Diet, you should plan to do a lot of cooking. Because the diet is based on a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, you should be prepared to spend some time in the kitchen. People who are very busy may find this difficult.

Overall, the Sonoma Diet is a very healthy eating plan that teaches you how to eat healthy in the real world. This is one of the most important aspects of being able to keep the weight off.
