Sonoma Diet

The Sonoma Diet is a unique weight loss plan that brings together, for the first time, the art and science of food. The appreciation and enjoyment of flavorful meals makes for a healthy eating style that becomes second nature. Simple instructions for the amounts and combinations of food make the plate your guide - and it was all designed so that you can shed pounds safely and easily until you reach your target weight.

Overview of the Sonoma Diet
In Wave 1, you're naturally recalibrating your body and turning around bad eating habits. This challenge comes right at the beginning, when your enthusiasm and confidence are in high gear. You'll be thrilled with the results, since this is the period of fastest weight loss. And just when you're fully accustomed to your new, healthy eating habits, your portions and choices increase in Wave 2.
Wave 2 is the main segment of the diet, where you'll stay until you reach your target weight. Weight loss during Wave 2 is not as quick as it was in the first wave, but it comes steadily. During this Wave you'll continue to cultivate the Sonoma approach to eating, whereby each meal is savored slowly, with an emphasis on health and pleasure.
Wave 3 is the maintenance program of the diet and begins when you've met your target weight or other health goals. You'll continue to enjoy Sonoma-friendly foods as well as such occasional indulgences as snacks and desserts.
As long as you follow the plate-filling instructions and food lists, you can choose whatever you want. You can follow the suggested meal plans or design your own menus - it's up to you!
