The Sonoma Diet: Trimmer Waist, Better Health in Just 10 Days! [Bargain Price] (Hardcover) Review

The concept of the Sonoma Diet is not new; Dr. Gutterson acknowledges her debt to the Mediterranean Diet early in the book.What is new, however, is the emphasis on portion control, handily taught through pull-out diagrams of plates and percentages for each type of food.And the recipes emphasize not only healthy eating but full flavor as well.

So why buy this book?

First:The food is terrific.The recipes alone are worth the price of the book.I have rarely had a cookbook that had such consistently fine results.I've cooked exclusively from the Sonoma Diet for the past six weeks and have not yet had a failed or unsuccessful recipe.I would not hesitate to serve this food to company.In fact, I already have, several time. People always ask me for the recipes I've used.Needless to say, they are very surprised when I pull out a "diet" book to show them the recipe!

Second: this is a healthy eating plan.This is the diet all of us should strive to follow.With its emphasis on whole grains, lean protean, vegetables, fruit, and nuts, in appropriate portions, the Sonoma Diet is a blueprint for lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and better health.

Third:Does it work?Certainly, if you follow the recommended portions and daily food intake.I started the diet with about 20 pounds to lose; thus, my weight loss on any diet is slower than for people who have much more weight to lose.In six weeks, I've lost 10 pounds.While this might not sound very impressive, I have lost this weight while not feeling deprived, while eating great food daily, and even having a glass of wine with dinner every night and a small piece of chocolate most evenings!In addition, I have lost 15 inches (5 from my waist alone) and two sizes.This is by far the most effective eating plan I've ever tried, simply because it has so quickly become a way of life.My husband, who does not need to lose an ounce, loves the food as well.

Fourth:Please note that this diet focuses on fresh, whole food, freshly prepared.If you want to eat protein bars and shakes, THIS IS NOT YOUR DIET.If you want convenience food and diet pop, THIS IS NOT YOUR DIET.If you don't want to spend some time in the kitchen, if the thought of grocery shopping makes you ill, if you don't want to slow down for at least one meal a day, you probably ought to look elsewhere!This diet requires planning and food preparation.If you don't know how to cook already, then be prepared to learn.

Fifth:This is not a crash diet or a miracle diet.This is a whole life eating plan.After six weeks, I feel healthy, energetic, and satisfied.I see no reason why I won't continue to lose weight at 1 to 1.5 pounds a week--exactly the rate nutrionists tell us is healthy and sustainable--until I reach my goal.

The Wine Lover's Healthy Weight Loss Plan [Paperback] Review

In my business, I receive a lot of requests for endorsements, but accept only those I deem the best.And I jumped on this request immediately.It could not be more appropriate for my audience.

I agree with the reviewer from Seattle who described this as a great reference book - both for its informed health information and its storehouse of healthy gourmet recipes (no those are NOT compatible).

Not just for wine lovers?No, this is a great source book for those wondering whether wine can be beneficial to their health.The answer is yes it is beneficial, if consumed daily and in moderation.And that's good news for all of us.

The Wine and Food Lover's Diet: 28 Days of Delicious Weight Loss (Paperback) Review

I started Dr. Tirman's weight loss plan in January.Following the rapid weight loss plan of eating a protein + 2 super low glycemic foods (such as roasted chicken with butter sauteed mushrooms and grilled asparagus with grated parmesan cheese) AND wine, I lost 10 lbs in the first 2 weeks.Even after the rapid weight loss weeks when I was doing the maintenance plan, I shed 8 more lbs by following the book's principles, and am still losing weight.I worked out every once in awhile during the first 2 months and only recently started exercising more regularly.I even occasionally eat high glycemic foods such as bread and rice (because I would NOT be able to give up sushi), andstill have not gained any weight.Just pair your higher glycemic foods with low glycemic foods or make sure your next meal falls well within the plan's guidelines.

This is a great, easy to follow plan.The recipes are simple and delicious, and if you know the underlying principles, you can make dishes that aren't in the book, and eat out anywhere.This weight loss and maintenance plan is definitley a lifestyle change and not a fad "diet."

Product Description:
Eat good food, drink a little wine, lose weight! Sounds too good to be true? Not with The Wine and Food Lover's Diet. Created by a sports doctor with a background in nutrition, this is a diet that combines healthful eating with a love of eating. Imagine a meal of bacon-topped arugula salad, pecan-crusted chicken paired with the perfect glass of wine, and closing with chocolate souffle or some ice cream and a cup of coffee-and then, even better, looking at the decrease on the scales the next morning. Dr. Phillip Tirman's 28-day plan sheds the pounds and the diet angst. He knows that most diets fail because they're based on restricting the foods everyone loves the most and they're impractical for today's busy lifestyles. So he has developed a lifetime eating plan based on satisfaction, not deprivation. The key to feeling slimmer and healthier? It's the surefire combo that is the foundation of the diet: one protein + two low-glycemic carbs = success. Using this formula, Dr. Tirman has created a menu plan to jump-start weight loss. He clearly and simply describes why high-glycemic carbs promote weight gain, while low-glycemic carbs do the opposite. Included are handy lists of beneficial Savvy Carbs and Super Savvy Carbs, which make it easy to tailor the diet to anyone's tastes-plus 100 really delicious recipes with wine pairing suggestions, illustrated in full color. There's also clear advice for choosing take-out foods, for selecting diet-friendly restaurant dishes, and for using the diet to lose weight or simply to keep off the pounds already lost. The Wine and Food Lover's Diet is the ultimate key to a healthier, fuller, longer, and more satisfying life.
