Diet Plans And Menus - The Sonoma Diet: The Sonoma Diet, also called the California Diet, is inspired by the eating habits of people on the Mediterranean and in Sonoma County. Most of the time you’ll be eating vegetables and vegetable products. Sonoma County is wine country, and this diet suggests that you enjoy a glass of wine with your meals. The diet is divided into three phases.
The first phase lasts ten days. During this phase you will change your eating habits and go for more healthy nutrition, eat less, reduce your sugar dependence, and start physical exercise. No fruits, wine, or second helpings during this phase. In the second phase your choice of food is expanded. Fruits and wine are now allowed. The grapes in wine have an antioxidant effect, which is said to be good for the heart. Those who don’t want to drink wine may enjoy unfermented grapes. The third phase is the life-long maintenance phase. Continue to avoid foods such as fatty meat, fruit juice, potatoes, whole milk, hydrogenated fats, and refined cereals. You’ll need a book to master the extensive list of suggested foods and forbidden ones.
An extended review of the Sonoma Diet and two Sonoma Diet Meal Plans appear on my website.
