Why choose the Mayo Clinic Diet?

The purpose of the Mayo Clinic Diet is to help you lose excess weight and find a healthy way of eating that you can sustain for a lifetime.

It focuses on changing your daily routine by adding and breaking habits that can affect your weight. Simple habits, such as eating more fruits and vegetables, not eating while you watch TV, and moving your body for 30 minutes a day, can help you lose weight.

The Mayo Clinic Diet is based on the latest behavior-change science, which will help you find your inner motivation to lose weight, set achievable goals and learn to handle setbacks.

You might choose to follow the Mayo Clinic Diet because you:

• Want to follow a program that has been developed by medical professionals
• Are looking for a diet that fits your food preferences
• Like the idea of being able to eat unlimited vegetables and fruits
• Seek expert strategies on how to drop unhealthy lifestyle habits and gain healthy ones
• Want to improve your health, reduce your health risks and feel great
• Don't want to eliminate food groups or count calories
• Want a program you can stick with for life, not a fad or quick fix.
• Are looking for easy-to-follow advice that will inspire you to eat better and move more

Remember to check with your health care provider before starting any weight-loss program, especially if you have any health conditions.
