The Mayo Clinic Diet is so easy to follow. I love the different plans you can choose from and swap between. All the recipes are amazing and easy to make. If you don't like an ingredient or recipe, you can swap for something else. I like how there is a gluten free meal plan. This is definitely one diet I will stick to.
The diet, exercise, and behaviors presented through the program helped me reach and maintain my weight loss goal. I could get close on my own but could not break through the final 10 pounds. A key enabler was being able to [freestyle] meal planning while following calorie and nutrition guidance.
For me, Mayo Clinic Diet is perfect. The two-week start takes the guess work out of what to eat. You get grocery lists and simple, satisfying recipes. The encouragement to address habits that inhibit or propel weight loss is also a wonderful feature. The program truly addresses everything you need to succeed.
Your membership is packed with tremendous value that will lead to long-term sustainable weight loss.
All these features are available the moment you join:
