What are the Principles of The Sonoma Diet? The very latest in the rapidly changing world of nutritional science forms the basis of the food selections, as well as the recipes presented in the Sonoma Diet Cookbook.
The diet’s name hales from Sonoma County in California, a gorgeous paradise where great tasting, healthy, sun drenched foods are eaten as part of active lifestyles. The diet plan is based on real world foods which provide enjoyment and are available in abundance.
The foods and recipes contained in the Sonoma Diet program and cookbook reflect a state of mind and a way of daily eating that is very similar to that enjoyed by residents of countries near the Mediterranean Sea. Researchers have documented that people living in these countries who consume a diet of fresh foods, vegetables, grains, nuts, olive oil, lean meats, and wine, are healthy and live longer than most other cultures. These people also experience less heart disease.
The Sonoma Diet takes this one step further. The New World and Old World diets have in common a festive approach to eating and a love of good food, turning every meal into a celebration. With this in mind, the Sonoma Diet is divided into three separate Waves.
Wave One covers the first ten days of the diet program and helps the dieter overcome large consumption of sugars, refined flour, and other foods that lead to weight problems. During this wave, the body naturally resets itself, turning away from bad eating habits. The results begin to show during Wave One because this wave provides the fastest weight loss possible while consuming healthy foods. The changes made in Wave One help reset a person’s eating habits while they are enthusiastic about their changing diet and associated weight loss.
In Wave Two, the portions and choices increase. This wave of the diet is the main segment and is the plan a dieter follows until they reach their weight loss goals. The weight loss during Wave Two is not as rapid as during Wave One, but it is steady and adds up quickly. The concept that is reinforced in Wave Two is that each bite of food should be savored slowly and with great pleasure.
Wave Three is the wave which addresses maintaining the idea weight which is healthy for you. The healthy food choices become a way of life, but once you reach your weight goal, you can add healthy snacks and occasional indulgencies such as special deserts.
The Sonoma Diet Cookbook contains instructions for filling your plate properly with healthy foods. By using a seven-inch plate or two-cup bowl for breakfast and a nine-inch plate for lunch and dinner, you will use the Sonoma Diet Cookbook diagrams to fill the plate or bowl with the right sized servings of foods during each Wave of the Sonoma Diet.
