What Is The Sonoma Diet?

diet-121The best selling book according to the New York Times, is a book called The Sonoma Diet. The Writer is a Dr Connie Gutterson who came up with the idea of the Sonoma Diet program. The Sonoma Diets is written about foods from the Mediterranean, with them coming from California, Sonoma and The European Mediterranean. Comprising diets from Asian, Mediterranean and Latin America cultures.

Dr Gutterson, a top spokesperson on the benefits gained from theses worlds, is able to offer many wide and varying dishes to eat whilst on the program. Before getting too excited and taken in by the marketing hype of this book, have a look at the foods on offer to choose from, as not all of the foods in the diet lists are allowed and therefore are forbidden.

Dr Gutterson has come up with diets that heavily involve themselves with people’s food habits and the nutrients of foods. The diets listed in the book, offers no exercise regime to follow, although it does advise you to do some exercise but lists no workouts to follow.

The book tends to centre itself around food and for many people considering weight loss, they need the encouragement to get up and follow some guidelines with regard to exercising rather then telling them the foods to eat in order to lose weight.

Members can follow the stages in the diet by going through the Wave plan which is numbered for easy of reference. Wave 3 is the less restricted stage allowing the dieter more foods, this being the final stage then the first stage, Wave 1 which is very restricted.

The Wave stages of this diet is very difficult to achieve, as it tends to rely on the strength of willpower more then it does of exercises to complete the program in full. The diet is controlled by restricting the size of meals you have and they tend to be a lot smaller in size then they do of the meals of where they originated.

Amongst the negative responses with regard to actually successfully completing the diet, there have been many successful people who have achieved the end results with the restriction in size meals. The outstanding drawback on this book is, nowhere in the pages, does it explain what to eat for snacks during hunger pangs that are sometimes felt by dieters.

The Sonoma Diet despite its comments it, is still an achievable way to lose weight. A good thing that comes across in the book is there is no constant remainder of calorie counting.

Detailed in the book are times of when you can eat and which type of meals, which are laid out in stages. The final part of the plan, Wave 3 concentrates on the ongoing diet for the dieter once they have achieved their dream weight.

Everyone needs to find a program of weight loss that suits their needs individually as a person, the Somona diet is a great diet to follow if you are prepared to follow it religiously.
