What Is The Sonoma Diet?
The Sonoma Diet is inspired by the Mediterranean way of eating and enjoying food

The Sonoma Diet is a unique weight loss plan that brings together, for the first time, the art and science of food. The appreciation and enjoyment of flavorful meals makes for a healthy eating style that becomes second nature. Simple instructions for the amounts and combinations of food make the plate your guide — and it was all designed so that you can shed pounds safely and easily until you reach your target weight.

The foods and recipes that will get you there have been carefully selected to make you healthier and happier as you lose the weight. The latest knowledge from the fast-evolving world of nutritional research is reflected in the food selection and meal preparations.
But this diet wasn't born in a lab.

The Sonoma Diet was inspired by two special places in the real world, places where the intense enjoyment of an abundance of delicious food is a way of life. The diet gets its name from one of these places: it is inspired by the great-tasting, sun-drenched foods that make California's beautiful Sonoma County a paradise of healthy eating and active lifestyles.

Sonoma cuisine, in turn, is a state of mind and reflection of the way of eating and daily foods enjoyed by the people who live on or near the Mediterranean Sea. The southern Europeans who follow this diet enjoy a bounty of wholesome and delicious fresh foods, including vegetables, whole grains, nuts, olive oil, lean meats, and wine. Sonoma cuisine, with its diverse flavors and emphasis on local fare, is a unique interpretation of the Mediterranean diet.

These two communities — New World and Old World — have something in common besides superb nutritional instincts. They share a festive approach to eating and a heartfelt love of great food that turns every meal into a celebration of life.
