DIET REVIEW
Comparing the Sonoma Diet with
The  Atkins Diet and The South Beach Diet.

Our Review:

Seeking to lose 10 pounds in 20 days or so?  Read this review to see if any of the well know and popular diets are really the route to take...

The Sonoma diet has 3 distinct phases (called "waves") --- and these are  kind of similar to the various phases of the Atkins Diet (frequently referred to as the Adkins Diet) and also The South Beach phases.

Phase 1 of the Sonoma Diet is the "Induction" phase, and it seems to serve the same general intentions as phase 1 of the Atkins and South Beach programs (elimination of certain types of processed foods, sugars, and several other foods from the system).  

Phase 1 of the Sonoma diet (the Induction phase) lasts for 10 days, and the aim of this phase is to eliminate sugar-based carbs, processed foods, certain kinds of fats, and other types of foods such as some fruits.

This is similar to how the South Beach program uses it's initial phase to eliminate sugar, fruit and processed foods.  

The Atkins program has a similar sort of "induction phase" which serves an identical "general" purpose.

The Sonoma diet then moves to its second phase (wave 2) which is used to re-introduce some types of foods back into the diet, also similar to how the South Beach plan allso has a second phase which re-introduces certain types of carbs (such as fruits) back into the diet.

Similarly, the Atkins diet also has a second phase where it brings back certain types of carbs (such as fruit) to the diet.

The Sonoma diet then has a third phase (wave 3) which is used when a dieter reaches their target weight and sets out to maintain that weight for the rest of his or her life.  This is the phase where the dieter is asked to transform the Sonoma diet into a "lifestyle".  Tthis phase allows wider food choices too.

Interestingly the Atkins diet also has a final phase which dieters use as soon as they reach their target weight.

This is also similar to how the South Beach diet has a final phase which ultimately serves to turn the diet into a permanent lifestyle when dieters reaches their goal.

So even though the foods in the Sonoma diet are very different - it still seems to maintain the same principle" as both the Atkins and the South Beach diets.

I do not claim that Sonoma diet is the same as the  Atkins Diet (Adkins Diet) or South Beach plans (since there are some major differences between them)........but  many of the same "principles" appear to be there, such as the various phases and how they are used.

My opinion:  

I do not recommend anyone to use the Sonoma Diet for the same reasons that I do not recommend using the Atkins or South Beach programs.  

Such a diet is too difficult to follow for an average dieter since the menu must eventually become a permanent lifestyle change, and it does severely  limit certain types of foods.

Ends...

There is a new 11-Day Diet called the Idiot Proof Diet, which sets no limits to food portions (it also allows 3 cheat days every 11 days where practically anything can be eaten).  

With its help I managed to lose 10 pounds in 20 days.

This new Fat Burning Diet is already helping thousands of people to lose weight each week.
