The first phase of the Sonoma Diet is the Induction phase. The purpose of this first phase is to eliminate some of the processed foods, various other foods and sugars.
The first phase of the Sonoma diet lasts 10 days and it is almost like the South beach system that uses its initial phase toe eliminates sugar and processed food as well.
The beginning phase of the Atkins program has a process similar to the induction phase which basically does the same thing as the starting phases of the previously mentioned programs.
In the Sonoma diet the second wave is used to bring some foods back into the diet. This is also the case in the second part of the South Beach diet which brings back carbs into the diet as well.
