(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Five years have passed since the health world embraced The Sonoma Diet, a book that changed the way people think about food, flavor, and weight loss. Drawing on the latest breakthroughs in nutrition science and feedback from her readers, Dr. Connie Guttersen has updated and revised her original book to benefit Sonoma Diet devotees and introduce the plan to a whole new audience. Through her many years of experience at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, Guttersen discovered that the Sonoma way of losing weight—and making it into an enjoyable lifestyle instead of a “diet”— leads to a happier, healthier life. THE NEW SONOMA DIET: Trimmer Waist, More Energy in Just 10 Days (January 4, 2011; Sterling Publishing; $22.95; ISBN #: 978-1-4027-8118-6) offers a life-affirming, take-action eating plan and is full of delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes.
“I decided that a one-and-done diet book was not the way to go,” says Guttersen. “This revised version of the original incorporates the latest nutrition science, which makes the Sonoma way an even more effective tool for weight-loss. Other benefits from following the plan include reducing risk for inflammation, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and also providing more energy throughout each day. The Sonoma way also invites a glass of wine with meals, a rewarding and healthful way to enjoy life.”
The book and website NewSonomaDiet.com (a property of Everyday Health, Inc.) shuns boring “diet” meals, shakes, and bars. There’s no calorie counting, measuring, or weighing. Nutrition science is translated into an easy plan and plate guidelines make smart food combinations easy. Guttersen’s weight-loss plan emphasizes different styles of exercise, mindfulness, and the importance of a food philosophy that is sure to motivate lifetime success. The recipes are inspired by food from the Mediterranean and Coastal California and include vegetables, fruits, lean meats, fish, whole grains, and nuts. Readers’ taste buds will be enlivened by steak and blue cheese wraps, chicken and white bean chile verde with Sonoma pesto, chopped salmon salads, grape and lime sorbet, almond chocolate biscotti, and much more. A slimmer waist and an energized lifestyle are the enduring rewards of the wholesome, sundrenched flavors of The New Sonoma Diet. This is not a diet where the benefits fade over time—it is an enjoyable and enduring lifestyle.
What’s New in The Sonoma Diet
The New Sonoma Diet takes readers beyond successful weight loss, and incorporates new scientific research to help promote whole health, including reducing the risk factors for inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the book addresses how people can achieve greater motivation to succeed in their careers and relationships, and build a well-rounded, fulfilled life.
The New Sonoma Diet provides even more information about appetite, satiety, and how we store and burn fat – especially around our waist. New and exciting Sonoma Diet Power Foods enhance the flavors of the recipes and provide more range to this healthy eating lifestyle. Timesaving recipes feature Sonoma Express and Cook Once Eat Twice meals, as well as dozens of helpful culinary tips.
