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.
