The California Diet

The California Diet (also called the California Wine Country Diet) defines six fundamental aspects of healthy weight management: nutrition, physical activity, practicality, pleasure, relationships, and variety. Unlike many other diets that focus uniquely on nutrition and physical activity, at least during a diet phase, the California Wine Country Diet considers the six aspects of weight management.

The California Diet places a focus on local food, and local wine but many of the suggested recipes are powerfully influenced by Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American cuisine. This book includes three weeks of suggested daily food plans that nutritionally stem from the USDA 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. It addition to menus highly influenced by the Mediterranean Diet and other traditional diets you’ll find recipes and wine pairing suggestions from many great California chefs.
