For more than 30 years the so-called "Mayo Clinic
diet" has surfaced in many forms and many places. Various versions
push grapefruit or eggs or meat and promise to peel off pounds
magically. These fad diets did not originate at Mayo Clinic
and are not approved by Mayo Clinic.
(Note: It might be a good idea to stock up on
some Hoodia
Diet Pills as this can help to curb your appetite.)
The diets prescribed by Mayo doctors and dietitians
are individualized for each patient's needs, taking into account
medical history and current eating and exercise habits. There
is no one diet that works for everyone.
Instead of relying on so-called miracle diets
promising rapid weight loss, take stock of your current eating
and exercise habits and compare them with recommendations made
by reputable organizations. (For example, the updated
Dietary
Guidelines for Americans provide a wealth of information
to get you started.) A healthy diet along with exercise that
results in a 1/2 to 1 pound loss each week is considered safe
and effective.
