She lives in northern California with the husband and two children. Her books "New Sonoma Diet" and "Sonoma Cookbook" (the collection of recipes) became in the States best-sellers.

The diet is called by the name of Sonoma – the special place in the world where it is accepted to take pleasure from plentiful and tasty food so is called. On it the magnificent wines which are filled in with the sun vegetables and fruit, and all this in California inspire. The place of Sonoma is often called "paradise of healthy food and active lifestyle".

In general, the diet is under construction on the well-known "Mediterranean pyramid". Interpreting the Mediterranean kitchen, the diet of Sonoma places emphasis on vegetables, whole grains, nuts, olive oil, fast meat and wine.

Wave 1
10 days last. At this time it is necessary to think of food and to get used to new food. It is the shortest stage of a diet, but in it there will be considerable changes. Energy level increases, weight is lost, the feeling of health appears.

During this period there is a refusal from:
- highly refined products
- sugar
- sweet desserts
- white loaf and crackers
- sweet flakes

We replace all this with products from list 12-Sonoma Power, it top-12 useful things which it is necessary to consume as much as possible during this period:
- almonds
- haricot
- pepper
- bilberry
- broccoli
- citrus
- grapes

So, the food basis at the first wave is made: whole grains, low-fat meat and there are a lot of vegetables. Plus is allowed a few fruit – vitamins and antioxidants are necessary at this stage.

Wave 2
It is a stage of loss of weight and improvement of health. It is the main stage of a diet. Duration of a wave is determined by you – it lasts until you do not reach the weight necessary to you. At the same time, loss of weight will happen not so quickly as at the first stage, but it will be useful for health and is noticeable for people around.

The principle of refusal of sweet remains. Meals have to be slow, savor each piece of food. The diet is based on products from the Wave 1 to which are added:
