I am 2 weeks in

I am 2 weeks in, and I lost 22lbs. The app makes it as easy as possible to track food and exercise. The recipes aren’t very good, but they have lots of alternative suggestions.

The plan works

The plan works! Follow the meal plan,
exercise suggestions and changing your mindset. Encouragement and positivity are essential. The app was difficult at first and so worth it. The videos and weekly emails are scientifically based to match what is occurring with my body. Learning about nutrition and exercise each day keeps me going. Love the grocery list. I'm healthier and down 31 pounds in less than 3 months. Chat questions get a response and and an answer. It's science!

The Mayo Clinic Diet is a common sense approach based on the adage, slow in, slow out. If your serious about losing lbs, and resigned to changing your "weighs" (pun intended), you will succeed. It's as simple as, burn more than you consume, without hunger pangs. I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks, and I've decided to stick with the "Lose it" diet indefinitiely, as I prep to shatter all state, national, and world powerlifting records in 2026, for my age group, 66 years young. Must, shall, will!
