I am not a big diet person but here lately I have been feeling a little desperate about losing this extra weight I've been carrying around. My mother suggested this diet and after I did a little research I started it on Mon. I have lost 7 lbs! First let me say if you are not seriously over weight this is not something that you should even be looking into and second I am NOT recommending that anyone start this with out talking to your doctor first. The diet is called the new Mayo Clinic Heart patient diet and it works like this New Mayo Clinic Diet Although the New Mayo Clinic Diet has spread like wilfdfire and is responsible for millions of pounds in weightloss, the Mayo Clinic reports it, "did not originate at Mayo Clinic," nor is it, "approved by Mayo Clinic." BREAKFAST: 1/2 grapefruit or 8oz unsweetened juice. 2 Eggs any style 2 Slices of bacon Black coffee or tea, no sugar LUNCH: 1/2 grapefruit or 8oz unsweetened juice. Salad and or raw veggies (any dressing, {not low fat or fat free}) Meat (Cooked any way) DINNER: 1/2 grapefruit or 8oz unsweetened juice. Meat (cooked any way) Vegetables (any green or red, may be cooked in butter or Seasoning or a salad as above) Black coffee or tea, no sugar BEDTIME: (opt) 8oz Tomato juice or skim milk INSTRUCTIONS: 1. At any meal you may eat until you are full, and you can not eat anymore. You must eat the minimum listed listed at each meal. 2. Do not eliminate anything from the diet, especially don't skip the bacon at breakfast or omit salads. It is the combination of foods that burn the fat. 3. The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process. 4. Cut down on coffee, it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Try to limit to one cup each meal. 5. Don't eat between meals, if you eat the combination of food suggested, you will not get hungry. 6. The diet may eliminate sugars and starches. Fat does not form fat, it helps burn it, so you can fry food in butter and use butter generously on vegetables. 7. Do not eat desserts, breads and white vegetables of sweet potatoes. You may double or triple helpings of meat, salads or vegetables. Eat till you are stuffed. The more you eat the more weight you will lose. 8. There may be no weight loss in the first 4 days, but you may lose 5 pounds on the 5th day. You may lose 1 and 1/2 pounds every two days until you reach your goal. 9. DRINK EIGHT 8oz GLASSES OF WATER EVERY DAY. 1/2 GALLON. THIS DIET IS SAID TO BEEN GIVEN TO HEART PATIENTS NEEDING TO LOSE WEIGHT FAST FOR BY-PASS SURGERY. ALL SOFT DRINKS NEED TO BE DIET AND CAFFEINE FREE. YOU MAY NOT HAVE: White onions, potatoes, celery, peas, cereal, carrots, corn, starchy vegetables, bread, noodles, rice, potato chips, pretzels or fruit or diet dressing. YOU MAY HAVE: Red onions, bell peppers, radishes, broccoli, cucumbers, green onions, leaf spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, green beans, lettuce, chili (no beans) mayonnaise, any cheese, hot dogs, cole slaw, regular salad dressing, green vegetables, 1tsp nuts, dill or bread and butter pickles. IMPORTANT STAY ON DIET 12 DAYS AND STOP FOR 2 DAYS Works out great to start on a Monday because you will have every other weekend off of the diet Like I said I am simply sharing something that has been working for me not suggesting anything to anyone. Yup I am covering my legal behind here. I'll keep posting new updates as I go...if I remember. LOL
