Introduction

Yo, what is up, guys! This is David Hoang, coming at you from supplementsuperhero.com, and today I’m going to be doing a Mayo Clinic Diet review.

So I’m going to be talking about what it is, first of all, some of the benefits, as well as some of the disadvantages to the Mayo Clinic Diet.

What is the Mayo Clinic Diet?

So let’s get into it. First off, basically the name says it all.

It was basically an original book which came out in 1949 and eventually evolved into an online program, and really a complete program, and kind of, sort of a fad diet.

And it was developed by people over at the Mayo Clinic, developed by doctors, a lot of medical professionals, and I think, primarily, it was dieticians that came up with it. So this is the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, which is over here in the United States.

And basically, you can get the book and just follow the steps in the book. But there also is an online program where you can get access to a lot of tools, trackers, guides…straight up on the internet through the website, where it’s $65 per quarter.

So, it’s kind of interesting. You pay $65 per quarter. So, really interesting billing cycle there.

How It Works

But the main focus of the diet is to focus on a healthier lifestyle. And what’s interesting about the diet is that it doesn’t just focus on weight and just focus on dieting, like a lot of other diets out there.

They really promote exercise and they promote eating healthy.

And there’s two parts of the diet. It’s divided up into a “lose it” portion, which focuses on weight loss, and then a “live it” section, where it just focuses on more long-term healthy lifestyle and healthy habits.

Now, the “lose it” phase has a variety of steps and a variety of recommendations that’s going to help you lose weight.

They actually claim that you could lose up to six to 10 pounds within the first couple of weeks. Kind of a bold claim, but it’s something that they, kind of, are pretty strong about.

And then in terms of the “live it” phase, that phase focuses on long-term health and more gradual weight loss, and it primarily focuses on portion control and incorporating exercise into your lifestyle.

And they also have an emphasis on essentially replacing five bad habits with five good habits.

And the five bad habits that they’d like you to replace include, like, no watching TV and eating at the same time, no added sugars to your diet, no snacks besides fruits and veggies, and no large quantities of meat and dairy.

And then also, no eating at restaurants that don’t follow the diet. So overall, pretty good habits to follow.

And then they say the first two weeks focuses on weight loss. But then after that, when you have kind of a sustained lifestyle and you’ve sustained all of these really, really good habits, you can lose maybe about one to two pounds per week safely.

In terms of the actual regimen, in terms of the actual diet, they give you more specifics in the actual program and the actual book. But the basic idea is that the focus is primarily on fruits and vegetables.

And then there’s much smaller portions dedicated to like meat, dairy, carbs, sweets and all of that. But it’s really a lot of fruits and vegetables.

And then they also recommend exercising for 30 minutes per day at a moderate intensity, roughly. So that’s pretty interesting.

Benefits of the Mayo Clinic Diet

So, in my opinion, the good things about the Mayo Clinic Diet, the benefits I should say, is one, it’s recommended by medical professionals.

So, it was developed by medical professionals, recommended by medical professionals for everyday people. So you can bet that there’s science behind this.

It was developed by smart people. So you know it’s a safe diet. It’s not made by some Joe Schmo in the middle of his basement. It’s actually, like, a legit diet, but sustainable long-term.

The things that they recommend aren’t extremely extreme. Other than, like, the first two weeks where the focus is on weight loss, the rest of the diet, that whole “live it” phase, is really, really sustainable.

It’s not one of those diets where you’re going to crash and burn, and gain all of the weight back.

It’s really designed to help you develop good habits to create a really good lifestyle for yourself to lose weight and keep the weight off, which is great.

Third, it includes exercise, which I think is absolutely awesome because, at least right now, to my knowledge, there’s no other diet on the market.

I mean, there’s other programs and stuff, but in terms of something where it’s an actual diet, there aren’t too many where they actually recommend you to exercise and they include an exercise program within their programs.

So, that’s something that’s really cool. Also, the online programs, although you do have to pay $65 per quarter for them, it’s neat because it adds an extra layer of accountability.

Yeah, it’s one thing to read a book. It’s one thing to follow a diet. It’s one thing to read forums and watch videos.

But, it’s another thing to get access to trackers and further tools that are going to hold you accountable. So, I think that’s a pretty cool aspect of the program.

Disadvantages of the Diet

Now, of course, there’s disadvantages to the Mayo Clinic Diet. One of them being that it might not be intense enough for some.

So, I mean, I think this is great for a lot of people who are like really, really big, and really overweight and want to live a great lifestyle.

But if you really want a killer body and, like ,rock hard abs, and let’s say you’re kind of lean like me or maybe skinny fat, and you want to take your physical physique to the next level, this might not be intense enough for some.

Some might need something a little more intense than this, especially if you want faster results.

Also, the $65 per quarter price tag might be a little too much for some. It might be a little too pricey. There might be cheaper options on there, if you’re on a really strict budget.

Also, given the fact that there’s just so much flexibility with this, and there’s so much of an emphasis on lifestyle and a balanced diet and portion control, I think the fact that there’s just too much flexibility in the food that you can choose could be a little bit excessive for some.

And some might actually take the caloric intake to the extreme, which might lead to actually excess caloric intake, which means you might not actually lose that much weight.

And then also, I haven’t looked in-depth into the program itself too much, but the fact that they recommend smaller quantities of meat could lead to low protein.

And, of course, if you’re looking to build muscle and burn fat and have a good physique, a low amount of protein isn’t really a good thing.

So, if you’re getting a low amount of protein in your diet, it might prevent you from actually having a nice solid physique. Especially some of us guys, who want to build muscle, it might prevent us from actually building muscle.

So those are some things to keep in mind, guys. That’s the good, the bad, the ugly of the Mayo Clinic Diet.
