First of all check out the following quality weight loss resources:

These diets may promote temporary quick weight loss. However, they are not nutritionally balanced or a safe method of weight loss for long-term success. Such diets can be dangerous for some individuals." 'The Mayo Clinic Diet is available in many forms but most talk about the fat burning qualities of grapefruit.

The diet allows as much grapefruit, meat and high fat foods as you can eat to control hunger but not much else. The Mayo Clinic diet completely eliminates all sugars and starches from the diet and limits caffeine intake. It also advocates that grapefruit, salad and bacon should be part of each diet.

Reasons For Mayo Clinic Diet:

  • No portion control
  • Can eat as much as you like

Reasons against Mayo Clinic Diet:

  • Grapefruit does not burn fat and eating lots of fat doesn't help you lose weight
  • Limited carbohydrates can cause weakness
  • Eating foods associated with heart disease is encouraged
  • Diet doesn't contain some required vitamins and minerals

Verdict Mayo Clinic Diet: The Mayo clinic Diet is a perfect example of a fad diet that uses a famous name to promote a useless product. This diet will not help you loss weight and encourages overeating of unhealthy foods. Both I and the real Mayo Clinic would not recommend it.


This is one such example of a Mayo Clinic Diet. Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit 2 eggs any style 2 slices of bacon Lunch: 1/2 grapefruit Salad with any dressing Meat any style and any amount. Dinner: 1/2 grapefruit Salad with any dressing OR a red or green vegetable cooked in butter or spices. Meat or even Fish any style cooked any way. Before Bed: 8oz. glass of tomato juice or 8 oz cup of skim milk.

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.

The diet has several versions and usually consists of grapefruit consumption prior to meals. Meals range from salad to bacon, depending on the variation of the diet. Despite its nutritional inconsistency, the selling point of the diet remains the elusive promise of weight loss with the false endorsement of the Mayo Clinic. Weight loss associated with fad diets, however, is rarely sustainable, and the long-term health implications of fad diets are rarely studied. In spite of their popularity, clinicians should caution patients away from the use of fad diets

Everything in the diet is the minimum amount you should eat and at each meal you should eat until full. At least eight glasses a day of water should drunk while following this diet
