Mayo Clinic Diet

The “Mayo Clinic” Diet has been around for over 30 years in one form or another. The nutritionists at the Mayo Clinic want everyone to know that the Mayo Clinic (the famous hospital in Rochester, Minnesota) has absolutely NOTHING to do with this diet. Purported to be in use for “people who need to lose weight quickly before heart bypass surgery,” this diet’s combination of high saturated fat, unlimited-portion meals shares little in common with the Mayo Clinic’s 2005 book, Mayo Clinic: Healthy Weight for Everybody.

Authentically “Mayo” or not, the diet has apparently helped at least someone lose weight, or it wouldn’t have maintained such a following over the years. It consists of a breakfast of eggs, bacon, and grapefruit with black coffee; a lunch of meat, salad, and grapefruit, and a dinner of grapefruit, meat, vegetables, and black coffee. In addition, people on the diet should drink 64 ounces of water each day. Dieters are told to remain on the program for 12 days and go off for two days before resuming. Why might it work? As the diet recommends eliminating sugars and starchy vegetables, it could be seen as a sort of low-carbohydrate weight loss plan.
