Synopsis Inspired by the foods and lifestyle of California's wine country, The Sonoma Diet is a weight loss plan based on wholesome, satisfying, flavorful meals. Instead of depriving you of the balanced nourishment you need, The Sonoma Diet emphasizes readily available Power Foods (like whole grain breads and sweet berries) that deliver heart-protective nutrients with a minimum of calories, eaten in combinations that boost health benefits, flavor, and weight loss success.--From publisher description. With a focus on "power foods," portion control, and healthful eating, the Sonoma Diet focuses on relishing meals without considering calories or pretty much anything that smacks of a typical diet. Using Northern California's Sonoma County as a background for health and vitality, the diet is grouped into 3 "waves" of weight loss and transformation. Grapes, tomatoes, almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, strawberries, broccoli, olive oil, and whole grains are the 10 "power foods" that act as the crux of the diet. To the joy of dieters, wine is also included. With 500 recipes--like Chopped Salmon Salad, Chili Mint Burgers, Greek Pizza, and Peachy Berry Cobbler--there's a lot to choose from.
