Mayo Clinic Plan
The Mayo Clinic Plan is a diet based on the clinic's healthy weight pyramid. The Mayo Clinic is one of the most credible health resources and have partnered with eDiets to bring the weight loss program online.
What About the Mayo Clinic Fad Diet?
For many years now, people have been using a crash/fad diet often referred to as the "Mayo Clinic Diet" - despite the diet having no connection or endorsement with the Mayo Clinic. This crash diet was very low-calorie, and nutritionally unbalanced. It bears no resemblance to the official Mayo Clinic Plan.
Food Guidelines
The Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid emphasizes fruit and vegetables - which are allowed to be eaten in unlimited quantities. Other carbohydrates, such as grains, play a lesser role in the pyramid.
The diet is one of the most healthful and natural diets to be found. Consuming ample amount of vegetables will not only provide a nutritionally-rich diet - but will also lead to satiation - hopefully leading to a desire to eat less sugary and fatty foods.
