Sonoma Diet Review

Making the Choice to Eat Healthier

The Sonoma Diet was a good weight loss experience. I was tired of weighing foods, eliminating foods, and eating foods that were bland and unappealing. In fact, when I found the Sonoma Diet plan, I was sick of just dieting—I wanted something that would allow me to make a lifestyle change.

I always seemed to be on a yo-yo diet of one kind or another, and even though I have never been seriously overweight, I couldn’t seem to maintain my desirable weight.

When I heard about the Sonoma Diet, I thought I’d give it a try and see what I could accomplish with it. Its inspiration comes from the Mediterranean diet with an emphasis on enjoying foods rather than avoiding them.

Instead of diet foods, the Sonoma Diet encourages everyday foods that are easy to find and prepare as well as having the ability to help you lose weight and improve your health.

Another concept of the diet and the key element to its success is that you consume foods that are nutritious and contain few calories. The Sonoma Diet includes what they call the Top Ten Power Foods which are:

• Almonds
• Bell peppers
• Blueberries
• Broccoli
• Grapes
• Olive oil
• Spinach
• Strawberries
• Tomatoes
• Whole grains

In addition to being low in calories, these foods also contain various elements that protect against heart disease and other conditions that can affect your health.

With so many people having concerns about their health, choosing a diet that promotes good health as well assisting with weight loss is essential. I know for me the problem was finding a program that would allow me to make lifestyle changes without having to eat bland and tasteless foods. If you sign up for the online program or buy the cookbook, you will find so many different recipes you can use for your meal planning.

I may not be typical since I only had twenty pounds to lose, but losing those twenty pounds was a struggle before I tried the Sonoma Diet. I knew some of the right foods to eat, but I had no idea how to prepare them so that I wouldn’t become bored with them.

In spite of all my past failures, I was able to finally lose those twenty pounds with the Sonoma Diet. I used the online program and had the cookbook, so it made it easy to stay on track. It was a slow process and took me two months to accomplish, but a year later I still have not regained the weight.

Anyone who has ever had a baby knows how difficult it is to take the weight back off, and that was my problem. I overate during my pregnancy, so I gained more than I should have. After the baby was born, I couldn’t get back on track and gained a few more pounds in addition to those I hadn’t lost.

Now that I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, I feel more energetic, look and feel better, and even have a healthier immune system.
