Dear e-newsletter subscriber, Mayo Clinic doctors created The Mayo Clinic Diet to help you lose your first 10 pounds in as little as two weeks. You'll discover five simple habits to help you take off the extra weight — and five habits to break so that you can keep it from coming back. Then you'll learn how to drop another pound or two each week until you reach your target weight, and maintain that weight for life. With the support, guidance and practical wisdom in this book and journal developed by Mayo doctors and dietitians, you can finally achieve lasting weight-loss success. We produced a sensible diet plan that can not only help you look your best but also help you reduce serious health risks such as diabetes and heart disease ... have more energy ... and improve your quality of life. You already know that most diets fail, so how is The Mayo Clinic Diet different? Many diets offer a quick fix and little more. This diet gives you everything you need to lose weight, and keep it off. Many diets are too complicated. This diet asks you to make only simple lifestyle changes — ones you can follow for life. Many diets seem like drudge work. This diet is about pleasurable goals — eating well, losing weight and enjoying life. The Mayo Clinic Diet is real, it works and it's doctor approved at Mayo Clinic, one of the world's largest and most respected medical institutions. There are tremendous health benefits from healthy weight loss. Reduce the risk of many of the serious diseases that can diminish your quality of life, including high cholesterol, cancer, depression and gallbladder disease. And for health concerns primarily associated with women, weight loss can also reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, skin problems, sleep apnea and stroke. You don't even have to sit down and read The Mayo Clinic Diet cover to cover! Instead, you can use the step-by-step program to lose weight the same way you gained it — one day at a time, because what works is keeping it simple! In Part 1 — "Lose It!" — you'll learn which 5 habits to break, and 5 good habits you should adopt to help you jump-start your weight loss, dropping 6 to 10 pounds in two weeks or less. That's real results, fast! In Part 2 — "Live It!" — teaches you how to keep losing and this time, keep it off. Use Part 3 — "Tools and Tips" — provides help along the way and gives more detail on burning more calories ... staying on track even when you dine out ... and how to get back on track if you "slip." You'll find meal planners, recipes, tips on overcoming challenges and much more. The Mayo Clinic Diet Journal is not your typical journal. This 224-page guide will help you plan, track and review your progress over 10 weeks as you follow the program described in The Mayo Clinic Diet book. And any time you want, you can go back to the "Lose It!" section if you'd like to boost your weight loss again, and fortify your overall health as well.
