The Mayo Clinic Diet promises that you will lose up to 10 pounds in 2 weeks. That's pretty amazing, right? It's just the beginning of the entire diet program and we'll look at the Mayo Clinic Diet Plan.

The Mayo Clinic Diet Plan is the official diet program that was developed by the Mayo Clinic that is based in Minnesota. The diet plan focuses on two things: (1) it shows you what you need to eat and how much you need to weigh, and (2) it focuses on your overall health and lifestyle.

The good thing about the plan is that it provides you tips on how you can break bad habits you have acquired overtime by starting new and healthier ones.

The Mayo Clinic Diet Plan has two phases - 'Lose It!' and 'Live It!'

The first phase of the Mayo Diet Plan lasts for the rest of your life. In the Live It phase, the Mayo Clinic claims you can lose 1-2 pounds each week up to the point when you reach your ideal weight.

But the question is, 'does it really work'? Although there have been no studies to support the Mayo Clinic Diet Plan, much of the diet included in its program is backed by solid research.

For example, it suggests that you eat meals that are high on fruits and vegetables and low in fat. This diet plan has been shown to be very effective for many people who were accounted to have lost weight.

The Mayo Clinic Diet Plan gives you various food choices from six food groups. It suggests that you get fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, unsaturated fats, and sweets (in small amounts).

There are also no limitations and you can still eat your favorite food. However, the diet suggests that you take things in moderation, too. In other words, the Mayo Clinic Diet Plan is very flexible.
