Healthy weight loss when GLP-1s are not an option

Lose 6-10 lbs in your first 2 weeks with the Mayo Clinic Diet.

Weight-loss medications can help you lose approximately 15% of your body weight in a year, but they’re not for everyone. 
Pre-existing health conditions, side effects and high out-of-pocket costs can limit who can stick to this treatment.

“Responders” to The Mayo Clinic Diet

• Go all-in for the first 3-4 weeks.
• Use The Mayo Clinic Diet meal plans to guide what you eat.
