What are the guiding principles of the Sonoma Diet?
The Sonoma Diet encourages enjoyment and appreciation of food prepared in a Mediterranean way. The Sonoma Diet has ten power foods, such as almonds, blueberries, spinach and whole grains, and also allows for a daily glass of wine. A little shopping for new dishware is in order as you are required to use plates and bowls of a certain diameter in order to better understand and control your portion sizes. There are three phases or waves to the Sonoma Diet: restrictive phase; main weight loss phase; and lifelong maintenance phase (Sonoma Diet website).
