Summary
"Health is influenced by habits. In our work with thousands of patients. we've identified key habits of people who maintain a healthy weight and stay healthy, and the habits of those who don't. The Mayo Clinic Diet is a weight-loss and lifestyle program designed by Mayo Clinic health experts. It uses the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid and the new Mayo Clinic Healthy Dining Table as guides to making smart eating choices to achieve a healthy weight and stay well. We've made the process easy, because we understand a diet works best when it's simple. The Mayo Clinic Diet is composed of three sections--to get you started, to keep you on track and to give you the tools you need to keep pounds off. 1: Lose It! is a two-week quick-start program designed to help you lose up to 6 to 10 pounds in a safe and healthy way. 2: 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. 3: 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."--Dust jacket.
