The Sonoma Diet
Plan
The
Sonoma diet
plan is a portion -controlled diet with a balanced and moderate diet
that helps you lose weight and keep it off. However, with this diet
plan, you don't have to buy any foods. You shops as you usually do
for groceries, follow a step-by-step plan and prepare your own meals.
The premise of the diet is that is the foods that people eat and the
amount that causes them to gain weight. The foods recommended in
this diet plan combine the regions of Sonoma, California with those
around the Mediterranean. The culture of enjoying good food from
those locations is evident in the diet.
The
diet plan intends to teach you how to eat for your body health.
There are three waves involved in the diet. The first one is the
most limiting, but it lasts for only ten days, Even during this
time, you will still enjoy delicious foods and lose weight. This
wave does the preparatory work for the second wave. This is the main
part of the diet plan, because the foods you eat here will be the
ones you stick with for the remainder of the diet until you lose the
pounds you set in your goal. However, there are more foods in this
wave than in the first and they are all enjoyable.
Although you don't have to count calories on this diet or buy pre-packaged
food, the secret is in eating the proper portions of food at each
meal. Each meal shows you a specific plate size with detailed
instructions on how you should place the food on the plate. During
the second wave of
the diet, you can add wine to your list of foods,
and the diet books actually gives you a wine list.
There are ten main foods that you do have to eat while on this diet.
They are:
* Whole grains
* Tomatoes
* Strawberries
* Spinach
* Almonds
* Bell peppers
* Grapes
* Olive oil
* Blueberries
* Broccoli
These foods are rich in nutrients, will keep you full for longer
periods of time and some of them are negative calorie foods, which
means your body has to burn calories in order to digest them. They
are also great anti-oxidants that rid your body of harmful toxins.
