THE SONOMA DIET

Upbeat writing and a reading by the vivacious Eliza Foss will make listeners pay close attention to this well-conceived plan for staying slim. The author's healthy eating plan starts off aggressively to get immediate results and then becomes more flexible as portion control and selecting better foods become wired into our hard drives. The initial stages are also designed to help people avoid temptations while new habits are forming. Eliza Foss is delightful as coach and teacher. She makes broccoli, beans, and fruit juice sound like what cool people eat. With detailed advice and menus that don't bog down the positive message, this engaging audio offers hope and possibility in every minute.
