Frequently asked questions

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

For most people it can be hard to sustain a diet that limits carbohydrate-rich foods too drastically long-term. Aiming for 50 grams of net carbs a day means healthy carbohydrate-containing and nutrient-rich foods like berries, beans, and dairy products can be included in the eating plan.

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. 

Are there other meal plan options available besides the Healthy Keto meal plan?

Along with the Healthy Keto meal plan, the Mayo Clinic Diet offers six different meal plan options to choose from including the Original Mayo Clinic Diet, Simple, Mediterranean, Higher Protein, and Vegetarian. We also offer three gluten-free meal plans. So you can find the eating style that suits your lifestyle and preferences.
