If so, why not have a look at the Sonoma Diet.

The Sonoma Diet is actually pretty similar to the Mediterranean Diet. To see how it is different, have a look at What Is The Sonoma Diet?

If it sounds like the diet plan you were looking for, be sure to read up on the The 13 Principles of The Sonoma Diet and The Sonoma Diet Power Foods.

Or get to reading one of the official books:

If a diet is in order for the new year why not try out the Mediterranean Diet? The Mediterranean Diet is a diet rich in whole grains, olive oil, nuts, fruits and vegetables, fish, cheese and wine.

Some research even shows that the Mediterranean Diet can be used with success for Type 2 diabetics to better control their blood sugar than did a high-cereal-fiber diet. (source: Dec. 17, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.)

The main principles of the Mediterranean Diet include:

- Eating abundant amounts of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables

- Enjoying moderate portions of cheese and yogurt

- Choosing healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, avocados, and canola oil

- Drinking wine in moderation, usually with meals, if okay to do so

- Consuming fish and seafood regularly

- Eating small amounts of red meat only few times per month

- Being physically active daily
