Hi,

I am not new to this sight and really got into the Sonoma Diet in January, then the flu and some out of town trips,etc, etc. and I have gotten waayyy off track. I know what I have to do, go back to Wave I and clean up the eating of refined carbs.

Anyway, Spring is a great time for a new start on life and I really see Sonama as a plan I can stick with for life.


I have 2 questions, and I have the book.

Would it be OK to use peanut butter for the morning protein with oatmeal as the grain?? This is an all time favorite I got from Prevention magazine a couple of years ago.


Also, popcorn is listed on Wave I, as a grain, and it says not to be used on the plate. Is this a snack food????

Thanks, looking forward to being skinny again and getting to know other Sonama followers.

Welcome. Glad to have you

As far as the peanut butter goes, if you are eating it with the oatmeal as well as the milk, I would say it would be okay, but I would cut it back to one T rather than two. It still boils down to calories in and calories out, and the oatmeal plus two T of peanut butter and milk would be close to 400 calories. One T would be a more reasonable portion I think since you are having milk. One days you have peanut butter at breakfast, I would not eat nuts as a snack.. have something else. Like some veggies...always room for more veggies

Yes popcorn would be eaten as a snack. yum

Yum Popcorn

How much can you have each day?

Thank you Linda for the quick reply, I totally agree with the 1T, which is what I usually use! I had the scrambled eggs with herbs this moring, ww toast and am totally satisfied. I have already done an aerobic tape. So far so good, and I have been up 4 hours LOL!!!


Hugs,
