Weight Loss Success Stories

A Diet You Can Stick To -- for Life!

Have you tried every diet out there? It's even possible that you had some initial success on other programs, but at what cost? You probably cut major food groups out of your diet, counted calories or points ad nauseam, went hungry or just weren't satisfied, and - most significantly - compromised your health. The Sonoma Diet is a balanced, sensible eating plan that you can sustain over a lifetime. You'll lose weight, but there are other fringe benefits. Here's what one online member has to say:

"The Sonoma Diet is the lifestyle change that I needed. I've tried other diets without much success. I had to do something not only to lose weight but to improve my health as well. Last year I discovered that I was a diabetic. This diet really helps me control my blood sugar, and I feel it is a diet I can stick with for the rest of my life."

Here's a recent post from the Zone Diet Member Support Message Board:

"I'm 41 and I have to say that I'm surprised at how easily I have been losing weight. After two weeks I found I'd lost 2 1/2 pounds* — and that's without feeling hungry or deprived, and without really working out. (I'm in physical therapy for the third time since 1998 and haven't been able to work out regularly or at the intensity I'd like for quite some time). If you can exercise, I highly recommend it, as it always helped me stay on the right track in the past.

As far as eating, I use the Hand-Eye Method: Essentially, two-thirds of my plate at every meal is filled with veggies, one-third with protein, and I add a smidge of fat. I use the same proportions with my two snacks, too. I've become a big fan of roasted vegetables — especially eggplant and yellow and green squash — and I love raw spinach. I did not eat any form of bread the first week, and being the refined-carb queen that I am, I still can't believe I didn't miss it! I drink tons of water and eat berries like they're going out of style. I have to admit that I'm not a stickler for the rules and, still, the Zone plan is working for me!

I just feel better since I've been on this plan. I don't have the same cravings for sugar and chocolate, and even though I often work long hours, I have more energy. And my skin started looking brighter and clearer after the first couple of days, too!"

I have had to replace 98 percent of my clothes since I lost 25.5 pounds on the South Beach Diet. I look so good, but best of all, I feel so good.
Michele in Minneapolis (16235161)

I have lost 17 inches. All my clothes are too big for me and I have to go buy new jeans again! I now wear XL shirts instead of 3X. I'm proud of myself. I also know if I buy and eat the right things, I will continue to look and feel good — and that is a great motivation. I have also been getting terrific encouragement from my family and friends, which has been a very positive part of my South Beach Diet experience.

I'm really amazed at how much better I feel in the mornings when I wake up, and how much more energy I have during the day now that I'm on the South Beach Diet. I'm really retraining the way I think about food, and I'm enjoying everything I eat.
