The Mayo Clinic Diet

The so called Mayo Clinic Diet has been around the Internet for years. It has nothing to do with the famous Mayo Clinic health center and hospital in Rochester, USA. The Mayo Clinic endorses only healthy eating and dietary guidelines, in accordance with official governmental advice. The So Called Mayo Clinic Diet appears in different forms around the world, although it usually includes grapefruit with most meals, and it is always high in protein and low in carbohydrates.

The clinic does however provide a number of guidelines for healthy eating – including the new Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid (aka Mayo Clinic Food Pyramid).
