Mayo Clinic Diet

According to the creators of the Mayo Clinic Diet, if you follow this regimen closely, you could lose up to 10 pounds in just two weeks – and then continue shedding weight on a more gradual basis. The whole program relies on a simple food pyramid, and encourages eating fruits, vegetables and grains. No sugar is allowed in the first two weeks, and munching in front of the TV is strictly prohibited throughout the diet. The Mayo Clinic Diet provides a solid balance of nutrition while helping prevent cardiovascular disease.
