The
Mayo Clinic Diet:
In
2-1/2 months you could lose up to 52 pounds NOT
recommended to stay on this strict diet longer than the 2-1/2 months. Then start
a maintenance low carb diet.
Instructions:
At
any meals you may eat until you are full, until you cannot eat any more. Do not
eliminate anything from the diet, especially do not skip bacon at breakfast or
omit salads. It is the combination of foods that burn up the fat. Grapefruit is
what starts the burning up process. Cut down on coffee. It affects the insulin
balance that hinders the burning up process. Try to limit to 1 cup at mealtime.
Don’t eat between meals. If you eat the combination of foods suggested, you
will not get hungry.
You
May Not Have: white onions, potatoes, celery, rice of any kind,
barley, pasta (all types),burritos and flour tortillas, tamales, green peas,
corn, baked beans, refried beans, black-eyed peas, lima beans, Bananas, dried
fruits, barley, sweets of any kind, products which contain Dextrose, Glucose,
Hexitol, Maltose, Sucrose, Honey, Fructose, Corn Syrup or Starch, or caffeine.

Notes:
Note,
the diet completely eliminates sugars and starches, which are lipids and form
fat.
Fat does not form fat. It helps burn it. So, you can fry foods in butter and use
butter generously on vegetables. Do not eat desserts, breads and white
vegetables or sweet potatoes.
You may double or triple helpings of meat salad or vegetables.
Eat until you are stuffed, the more you eat the more of the proper combination
of foods, the more you will lose. You can lose 10 pounds in 10 days. There will
be no loss the first 4 days, but you will lose 5 pounds on the fifth day.
Therefore, you will lose 1-1/2 pounds every 2 days until you are where you want
to be.
