Add another one to the growing list of new diet plans these days: the Mayo Clinic diet plan, as outlined in a new book, “Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight for EveryBody” (2005, Mayo Clinic Health Information).
What sets this one apart — other than the high-profile Mayo name attached — is a committment to real health instead of gimmicks. Or, in the clinic’s words, “the book presents a practical, no-gimmicks program to help readers adopt a lifestyle that allows them to achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life.”
Eating right and exercising … now there’s a crazy diet plan. I bet it’ll never catch on.
It’s also worth noting that this is the first time the Mayo Clinic has actually produced a diet and fitness guide, despite more than 60 years of “Mayo Clinic diets” stealing borrowing the esteemed clinic’s name.
