Yay! We expect it to be the next big thing. They are planning to spend $5 milliion on promotions, and will even have a food line in the supermarkets next year. I personally think it looks better and maybe even easier than South Beach. When we did our diet survey last year, a lot of people said they dropped out of South Beach during Phase 1 because they couldn't live without bread, or didn't like other restrictions. Sonoma lets you have bread and other whole grains from the beginning. Plus you can have real chocolate every now and then I'm starting it on Jan 1, and I've sent copies of the book to my sisters in case they want to do it with me.

Glad to see the forum
The book is pretty good, so far and from the few recipes I've read sound very tasty. I'm trying my own spin on a Wave 1 breakfast this morning.. eggs, turkey pepperoni, spinach, mushrooms, onions, garlic and salsa and La tortillas.
Can't wait for this to get going.. this food is going to taste GOOD!
On the menu later today.. barley, turkey smoked sausage and veggie soup.

Hey there Linda
I just picked up the Better Homes & Gardens Diet magazine (saw it on the rack yesterday) and there is an article on the Sonoma Diet - haven't had a chance to read it yet however (the magazine also has some really good articles by Anne Fletcher, author of Thin for Life).
When I get to the article, I'll let you know...

Thank you! Well,I don't think I can follow the Sonoma diet perfectly,but I think I can do my own thing based on the Mediterranean diet. It sounds easy to do with the food choices my family makes (except of course the processed canned/packaged lunches we have because my parents work and I'm not allowed to cook!Lol,but I can control these so I eat less of that junk). All I need to do is add more fruits and veggies and have less red meat (we usually have chicken though). Other diets are way to restrictive for what my family buys.
I'll be checking back here though,I'm sure there's many useful things to learn from the Sonoma diet.

Sounds like a neat plan and a good extension of the diets that are out there but not fully developed or realistic.
However I do need my chocolate everyday! Thats not an option.
I am doing great on Calorie Queens..but Sonoma sounds interesting to read for ideas.

Waiting for a big migration of SBD Chickies to this Forum. It will be interesting. Maybe we could start a Sensible Diet Plan Forum?
I'm off to see if I can get the book from Chapters.ca yet!

Hmm...I don't think I'll buy the book. Sounds basically like whole grains, unprocessed foods, healthy fats, and controlled calories by controlling portion sizes--sounds the same as what many people on her preach, but hey, if you need a book and numbers to follow (percentages), then best of luck to you. I'll be interested to see if people actually find it any easier than South Beach.

I've ordered a copy from Amazon. Been away from here for many months due to crazy-busyness, and am about to move to the country and become gainfully unemployed, so will have lots of time and energy to devote to succeeding. I'll look forward to discussion here.

I bought the book 2 days ago and have read it through. The plan seems very healthy, versatile, simple, and doable. It may even convert this diehard Weight Watcher.
