Sonoma Diet
The Sonoma Diet (pronounced səˈnoʊmə daɪət) is a dietary plan that was created by Dr. Connie Guttersen, a registered dietitian and professional nutrition instructor at the Culinary Institute of America. The diet is named after the Sonoma County, California, a region known for its wine and Mediterranean-like diet.
Etymology
The term "Sonoma" is derived from a Native American word meaning "valley of the moon." The diet was named after the Sonoma County due to its Mediterranean-like diet and lifestyle, which is the basis of the Sonoma Diet.
Description
The Sonoma Diet is a Mediterranean diet that emphasizes the consumption of certain types of food over others. It is divided into three waves. The first wave is the most restrictive, the second introduces more variety, and the third is the maintenance phase. The diet encourages the consumption of whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, while limiting the intake of saturated fats, sugars, and processed foods.
