The diet recommends using the "right sized plate", i.e, smaller 7" to 9" plates instead of the standard 12" plate, filling the smaller plates according to instructions, and following meal plans that suggest what to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. The meals are mainly built around 12 "power foods":
Almonds
Beans
Bell Peppers
Blueberries
Broccoli
Citrus
Grapes
Olive Oil
Spinach
Strawberries
Tomatoes
Whole Grains
The Sonoma Diet stresses simplicity and wholesome, flavorful ingredients. It is not just about a way of eating, but a way of living. The diet is divided into three "Waves":
✔ The initial 10-day Wave is designed to naturally recalibrate the body and turn around bad eating habits.
✔ Wave 2 is the main segment of the diet, which is followed until the target weight is reached.
✔ Wave 3 is the maintenance program.
But, is it Plant-Based?
Plant-based diets are increasingly and quickly gaining recognition and support for the wide range of health benefits they confer. While the Sonoma Diet is centered around 12 healthy, plant-based foods, the diet is not plant-based, vegetarian or vegan, as many of the meals plans and recipes incorporate red meat, poultry, seafood and dairy products.
