BACKGROUND: Haven Logan has been working with weight and eating issues for more than 20 years. Her first book, Choosing to Be Well: A Conscious Approach to a Healthier Lifestyle (Inner Ocean, 2002) explored the complex issue of why people don’t do what they know they should for their health.

The California Wine Country Diet: The Indulgent Approach to Managing Your Weight (Quill Driver Books, 2005) is the result of her resolve to find an effective, comprehensive, and pleasurable approach to weight management which people will want to adopt as a lifestyle.

In choosing the California Wine Country Diet, readers will be choosing a weight management program that is based on the latest scientific research and the experience of thousands of years of healthy, traditional diets.

Those who follow the diet will be eating and drinking fresh, seasonal foods and beverages. They will get to experience the recipes of some of the California wine country’s finest chefs in the comfort of their own home. And they will be attending to all six aspects of the Wheel of Weight Management, which will ensure an enjoyable experience that will lead to the creation of their own unique blueprint for long-term weight maintenance.

One of the most delightful aspects of The California Wine Country Diet is its tour through the various wine producing areas of California. Stopping at restaurants and meeting chefs all the way from the Benbow Inn in the redwoods of Humboldt Country down to Los Olivos Café and bouchon santa barbara in Santa Barbara County.

As Chef John Ash, a guiding force in California cuisine, says in his foreward to the book, “In the wine country way of eating you do not have to deny yourself pleasure to eat in a healthy way.”
