After trying unsuccessfully on my own to lose the extra weight I am carrying around after having a baby early this summer, I decided to try the sonoma diet. I have a massive addiction to sweets, but giving them up has not been as hard as I thought it would be. I can even enjoy unsweet tea now (I never thought that would happen)! My husband and I are doing this together, and along with walking a few times a week, we've both already seen results! I have lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks, and my husband has lost 7 pounds. We do not feel deprived in any way, and the whole way of eating just makes SENSE! I do not plan on ever doing anything differently!
