Sonoma Diet and the Mediterranean Diet - Please share your success and a few questions ...

Hi,

I'm pretty new to this and having a hard time, not so much with the refined carbs, but with saturated fats. I think it's hard for me because I'm not sure if it will really work, so it's hard to make the sacrifices. I would love to hear from any of you for whom this plan worked/is working.

Also, I just returned last week from a couple of weeks in Europe. I had tried to do Wave 1 several times since the beginning of the year, and finally successfully completed it the day I left for Europe. I did pretty well at the beginning of my trip, but by the end had gone off plan completely.

When I started back on the plan seriously the first day, I had really bad headaches and felt really dizzy/confused. Has anyone experienced this? Is it not enough calories? Sugar withdrawals? Any ideas?

Also, should I redo Wave 1 again, or just keep working on Wave 2?

Thanks in advance!

I have success for a day or two and then I don't. My attempts at dieting seem to be very up and down, no matter what. I haven't been feeling too great the last few days so that has really made me off my game. But, I am down about 19 pounds and surely don't want to put it back on for sure. Love the way my clothes are so loose.
