Book Review: The Mayo Clinic Diet, Eat well. Enjoy life. Lose weight
Whenever the Mayo Clinic lends its brand to a health product, it is worth taking a close look. In this case, it is a diet plan for quickly losing weight but also continuing to lose weight at a slower pace but over a longer period of time. This addresses two needs of most diets. The ability to satisfy a desire to show some immediate improvement as well as institute changes that can stay with the person after the excitement of those first few pounds goes away. This second part is the bane of most dieters.
This is what the Mayo Clinic has to say about their most recent book:
In our work with literally thousands of patients, we've identified the critical habits of people who maintain a healthy weight, and the habits of those who don't.
With The Mayo Clinic Diet, we've boiled this research down to five simple habits to help you take off the extra weight -- and five habits to break so that you can keep it from coming back. Plus, we've made it easy, because what works best when it comes to weight loss is keeping it simple!
The Mayo Clinic Diet is composed of three sections to get you started, to keep you on track, and to give you the knowledge and tools you need to keep those unwanted pounds off for good
Loose it! is a two-week quick-start program designed to help you lose 6 to 10 pounds in a safe and healthy way.
Live it! is a long-term plan in which you continue to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week until you reach your goal. Then, you learn how to maintain your healthy weight for life.
All the extra stuff includes meal planners, recipes, tips on overcoming challenges and much more to help you along the way. The Mayo Clinic Diet puts you in charge of reshaping your body and improving your health -- for a lifetime
I can tell you that the Mayo Clinic Diet is a very easy-to-read and visually pleasing book. The accompanying journal, see link below, is an excellent way to track your progress and see what specific foods and activities are working for you.

Being healthy is a lifestyle, not a diet. There are many good tips on how to achieve permanent weight loss; none of them includes diets or diet pills. The best way to lose weight and to become healthier is to take responsibility for yourself! Your health is your most important asset. For many people, being overweight is associated with being uncomfortable in their own skin. To assist with weight control; keep a daily food journal and every time the urge to snack is felt, first drink a large glass of clear water. This simple act will help you to eat less. Water hydrates you, suppresses your appetite, helps you to feel full, and metabolizes fat cells. Water will soon become one of your best friends. The major reason so many people in America are overweight is because we eat too much for comfort! It does not hurt to treat ourselves with something special once in a while, what is necessary is that we limit our portions and do not overeat! It is also necessary to keep our body properly hydrated, so drink a full glass of water with each meal or snack. Being overweight ******, but after reading a book, I lost 85 pounds! Words can not express how good I feel! This is a comment which I recently received about the book Lose Weight Using Four Easy Steps
