Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Healthy Keto meal plan only restrict carbs to 50 grams net carbs a day?

Is the meal plan budget-friendly?

Yes, all of our meal plans are meant to be sustained in any lifestyle at any budget. 

Is the Healthy Keto meal plan suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

The Healthy Keto meal plan does include animal products. However, you always have the ability to swap meals to suit your taste preferences. 

Do I have to count calories?

No, the Mayo Clinic Diet is about making sure you’re getting enough of the foods that are right for you. We are not focused on calorie counting. 

Does the Healthy Keto meal plan include a grocery list?

Yes, all of the Mayo Clinic Diet meal plans come with a weekly grocery list that you can customize to cater for your family and needs. 

I have food intolerances or allergies, is the Healthy Keto meal plan suitable?

If you don’t like or can’t eat a particular meal, you have the ability to swap meals to suit your personal needs.
