Lynn Grieger, RD on the Mayo Clinic Diet

The folks at the Mayo Clinic emphatically state this diet is a sham, and so do I. Do not try this diet!

iVillagers on the Mayo Clinic Diet

"I have lost 45 pounds total on this diet. In the first three months I lost 30 pounds. I started out with just the diet and then added exercise. I now run two miles three times a week and feel great. This diet is very easy to follow." -- iVillager tlskib

"I tried this diet back in the 60s. The grapefruit tore my gut up so bad I thought I was going to die! I lost 30 pounds and then gained it all back." -- iVillager marlys49to30
