Very user friendly, and the recipies use ingredients that are easy to get. The meal plans make it easy to trade out meals to make them fit into my life, and the grocery list makes shopping a breeze.
How it works
The Mayo Clinic Diet aims to change your habits for good - not just for the duration of the diet plan. That means no fads, no quick fixes and only advice that can be backed by the Mayo Clinic medical professionals.
The weight plan is split into two phases: Lose It! and Live It! The Lose It! phase is a two week jump start where you will focus on changing your health habits and lose 6 to 10 pounds. In the second phase, Live It!, you focus on maintaining your new habits and learning to live a healthy lifestyle.
