Sonoma
Diet Tips. Snacking Smart
Letting yourself get too hungry between meals is counterproductive to
your weight loss efforts. You'll simply be tempted to overeat when
mealtime comes. That's why The Sonoma Diet allows snacking. But like
most things, snacking is more restricted during Wave 1 than it is
during the rest of the diet. Between lunch and dinner, or between
breakfast and lunch, you may have a small snack to tide you over. When
you get to Wave 2, there will be plenty of possibilities. On Wave 1
there is one — a Tier 1 vegetable. We allow an exception: If you're a
bigger man, or if you are a woman or man who leads a very physically
active life with plenty of exercise, you can expand your snack menu a
bit. Here are some possibilities:
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese with Tier 1 raw
veggies
- 3 ounces of hummus, either homemade or
store-bought, with veggies
- Low-fat cheese stick with carrots or celery
- 1 slice of whole grain bread with 1 tablespoon
of peanut butter
- 2 ounces cooked chicken breast or turkey deli
meat
