Once you reach a certain age, it becomes increasingly easier to put on the pounds. For a long time I avoided the idea of dieting trusting that adhering to my strict regimen of chocolate and beer would see me through. It did not.
So sometime in November I came across The Sonoma Diet book at Target. After quickly perusing the book, it seemed it was a regimen which was reasonable and something that I could actually follow. The author describes the approach as follows:
The Sonoma Diet is like no other.
You will lose every ounce of excess weight that you need to. But at the same time, you will enjoy eating more than you ever have I your life. It is a way of eating where meals are a celebration, not deprivation.
That’s because on The Sonoma Diet, you don’t lose weight by avoiding food. Instead, you lose weight by enjoying satisfying amounts of the best foods on the planet.
I don’t know about the celebration part, but she is generally right in her statement. My wife and I have been following her regimen since November. I’ve probably eaten more good meals (prepared most of them) then ever before. I’ve also lost around 35 pounds which is kind of hard to believe.
The work involved in preparing the meals is the only downside, unless you are in to cooking or want to start. I would recommend this diet to anyone. If you have kids that still live with you it may be tough. However, if it’s just you or you and your wife, it is very doable.
