ABOUT THE
DIET
Back To Top
One important thing to understand before starting any of a number
of diets which claim to be Mayo Clinic diets is that the actual
Mayo Clinic has no such diet. From their official website:
"A number of so-called "Mayo Clinic diets" have surfaced over
the years. None of these originated at Mayo Clinic. In addition,
Mayo Clinic doesn't endorse any of these "magic" diets that push
grapefruit or eggs or promise to peel off pounds. Some may even be
unhealthy for you."
Most of the diets which claim to be Mayo clinic are high in fat
and low in carbohydrate. The diet also puts great importance on
grapefruit supplementation, specifically for fat burning. The Mayo
clinic diet, by lowering carbohydrates significantly, will call you
to eliminate all sugars and starches. High fatty foods, red meat,
salad, and bacon should be included in the diet.
DIET
GUIDELINES
Back To Top
Breakfast:
1/2 a grapefruit
Two whole eggs (with yolk)
Two slices of bacon
Lunch:
1/2 a grapefruit
Salad (any style), with any type of dressing
Red meat, or other preferred meat source (any quantity - eat until
full)
Dinner:
1/2 a grapefruit
Salad (any style) with any dressing, or vegetables cooked in
butter or spice
Any type of meat, any quantity (eat until full)
Before Bed:
Drink one 8 ounce glass of skim milk or one 8 ounce glass of
tomato juice.
Drinks:
Drink at least eight glasses of water daily.
The Mayo clinic works on the concept of eating until you are full
and never going hungry. However, it has been empirically proven
that to keep high blood sugar levels, the body needs steady flowing
nutrition. Three meals a day is old fashion, but the Mayo diet
tries for four. Not bad, but not quite there yet, either.
EXERCISE
DURING THE DIET
Back To Top
The Mayo Clinic diet does not specify any particular type of
exercise to be performed. From this, the likely conclusion is that
the Mayo diet coupled with a healthy lifestyle and some daily
aerobics or cardio activity will help you to lose weight. Like the
type of meat in the diet, the type of exercises you do are up to
you.
ADVANTAGES
OF THE DIET
Back To Top
To me, the only appealing aspect of this diet is the unlimited
quantities of red meat and fish not only allowed, but encouraged.
Also, eight glasses of water a day is a healthy amount to stay
hydrated.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE
DIET
Back To Top
I don't claim to be an expert on the subject - but grapefruit
is bitter. Not to mention, paying into a fad diet which will
produce weight loss results at the cost of a healthy body will
probably make many people bitter as well.
CONCLUSION
Back To Top
Fad diet. That's it. That's all. Period. And remember:
Aside from not being nutritionally safe or sound in the least, it
is not recommended or approved by the actual Mayo Clinic at
all.
