For more than 30 years various versions of the so-called "Mayo Clinic Diet" have surfaced in many forms and places, promising to peel off pounds magically. These diets did not originate at Mayo Clinic.

Now, for the first time, Mayo Clinic offers a safe and effective program to help you achieve and maintain the weight that is right for you.

The book emphasizes a lifestyle approach that combines a healthy diet along with exercise to result in a 1- to 2- pound loss each week that is considered safe and effective. The goal is to achieve long-term changes in your food selections and exercise habits that you can maintain for life.

This new book from nutrition experts at Mayo Clinic includes a step-by-step 12-week program to get you started on achieving your healthy weight. The program applies the principles of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid to help you make better decisions about what to eat and find ways to add enjoyable exercise to your daily life. Rather than focusing on fat or carbohydrates, Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight for Everybody emphasizes the three factors that scientific data link to weight and health--calorie content, a healthy variety of foods and physical activity.
