Ok, just saw the Sonoma segment on the View...Joy and Meridith interviewed Dr. Connie Gutterson about this plan. There were baskets of the powerfoods and plates with suggestions for breakfast, lunch/dinner.
When Meridith asked about weighing food and the amount of calories, Dr. Connie said Wave one would be about 1200/day for women and later said that Wave two would be about 1500/day for women. Joy said that it looked like a lot of work to prepare the foods and Connie said (pointing to a greek salad) the recipes took about 15-20 minutes to make.
Meridith wanted to know about the wine and Connie said that it was 6 oz everynight on wave 2 but not wave 1 as we already know. She started to mention the chocolate but was interruped and never got back to it.
They were calling this the #1 diet in the country. People see that this is a plan that they can stay with because the food is so tasty.
It was good to see the portion sizes on the plates (something I am often not really sure about). Connie pointed to the sliced steak and when Joy said that it was not much meat, Connie said that it was about 3-4 oz. Joy asked if you need to measure the plates and Connie said yes or you can buy the plate sizes in the store. Really, there was not much that we don't already know or can find out in the book.
