Mayo clinic Diet

dimin · ‎03-11-2010

I'm starting my 50 lb weight loss journey. I have been on WW but chose Mayo instead. I already tried on my own but didn't stay with it. Now when I'm bored I can go to the Mayo website and read recipes and motivation tips. I had signed up for Noom and cancelled the same day, I don't like using an app on my phone.

The Mayo seems good so far. I like that doesn't forbid foods, same as WW, but it's more flexible about tracking. Mostly it's about calories and it has guidelines that are easy to read and follow, such as no sugar the first two weeks. I've been looking at the diet for awhile but signed up when it was $3. per week. You don't have to pay for life, you will know what to do after going through the first 3 months.

@diminCongrats to you for starting - and for choosing a plan you think will work for you. I've been a lifelong yo-yo dieter, but started a new life style nearly 3 years ago. I'm down 55 pounds and can walk easily at least 10X as far as I could walk at all when I started.

My eating plan was essentially WW, but I was acting solo here so my WW came from a 1991 plan that had worked for me then although I modified a bit to account for my current health issues.

Sounds like Mayo has a good thing going for you, but I intend to take a look, too. I work every day not to fall back to my old, unhealthy eating.

Will be watching for your updates!

Good for you. I wish you well. One thing to remember with any weight loss program is this. For them to be a permanent(the rest of one's life), lifestyle changes, other than just what one eats, is also very important to keep in mind.

I am looking forward to reading your progress in weight loss, and your just plain feeling better about what you do weigh throughout your journey.
