Sonoma Diet: Grocery Shopping For Wave 1
I started Wave 1 today by going grocery shopping, excercising hard for an hour, and eating foods suggested by the Sonoma diet plan. Here is a list of some good Sonoma Wave 1 picks:
Processed Sugar - Out.
Sugar Substitutes - Only allowed 1 packet per day total - so just avoid it and save yourself the trouble.
Meat - Lean is nice.
Veggies - Load up on them. Fresh veggies are good for you and taste great too. Use onions, peppers, and other such veggies as flavor enhancers. Potatoes excluded.
Fruit - Out during Wave 1 (It's only 10 days...you can do it).
Cereal - Only high fiber. It should be 8 grams of fiber per serving or more. Remember to avoid the sugar cereals and fruit (tough to find cereals that work).
Oatmeal - Get the non sugar added kind. Instant is always a good pick so you can take it with you to work.
Cheeze - Lowfat Mozzarella string cheese is ok for a snack. The other kinds are high in calories, so I would avoid them.
Milk: Skim
Drinks: Soda = bad, fruit juices = out, water = Great, but avoid it if there fake sugar added to it, sport drinks = no way.
Bread: Whole grain. You will start to like this type of bread better after a few days anyways.
Pasta: Surprisingly, there are some good whole grain pastas. Try Barilla.
I can handle this when I am at home or in the office for sure. Trying to avoid the pitfalls of customer meetings will be the tough part.
