Has anyone been on the Mayo clinic Diet?

Question

And if so, how much weight did you lose.
I have a friend who needs to lose about 60 pounds and her doctor put her on this diet. To help lose a little faster.

Answer 1

I'm on the Miracle Whip diet.

Answer 2

I have been on every diet that has come out in the last 30 years. They all worked but I didn't stick to them. 4 years ago I found out that I was a diabetic and met with the hospital dietitian. I started loosing 1 to 2 lbs a day. 1600 calories. Basically you have lean meat, 1/2 cup pasta or potato or exchange it for 1 slice of bread. 5 vegetables a day. 3 fruits a day. There are lots of sugar free sweets if your desperate. Skim milk. Diet Nest tea with lemon is so good. Diet pop. Splenda sweetener tastes more like sugar. Wheat or oatmeal in cooked cereal category. For cold cereal I eat shredded wheat. Because Diabetes is hereditary most of my married children have gone on a Diabetic diet and they lost too. The diabetic diet is a little more technical than what I have listed. By the time you eat all those vegetables and fruits you can't help but loose weight. Remember, you still need a balanced diet.

Answer 3

i was on that diet a few years ago, but i also exercised with it i lost 150 lbs but cant say if it were cause i was getting off the prednisone also, but it did help me. it is an individual thing and depends on the persons persistance. you have to stay on it. i have gained the weight back, then again cant say if cause they put me back on the prednisone
