The first phase of the program, Lose It!, is a straightforward two-week plan that helps at-risk individuals lose weight quickly and safely, lowering the body’s overall blood sugar in the process. The second phase, Live It!, offers manageable lifestyle changes to help individuals lose one to two additional pounds a week until they reach their desired weight.Additionally, the new second edition of this bestselling book now offers a bonus section packed with information about understanding calorie intake versus output, choosing healthy ingredients for a diabetic diet, finding healthy food (whether you’re in a restaurant or a grocery store), as well as helpful advice for pushing past weight loss plateaus.Committing to a healthy lifestyle now can help avoid dangerous health complications later. When combined with The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet Journal, this all-encompassing guide from the weight-loss and nutrition experts at the Mayo Clinic will help you lose weight, live an improved lifestyle, and gain control of your diabetes, once and for all.

Review
The Mayo approach, like all diets, has their good and bad points. However the fundamental advantage of the Mayo diet is you get a food plan with a certain number servings of carbs, proteins and fats everyday (fruits and veggies are unlimited) that allows you to loose weight and have a healthy diet. There's 334 pages in the book but the nugget of wisdom here is the required daily servings of each of these foods will help you loose the weight and feeling healthier.My wife and I have both lost about 13 pounds and we've been doing the diet for 5 weeks. In the back of the book there is 4 weeks of daily breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack menus. This is what we've been following.The GOOD POINTS: 1) It works; 2) the plan is based on a balanced diet; 3) you get 4 weeks sample menu, 4) you'll try new foods; 5) you have an evening snack every day - it may be only fruit - but its a snack; and, 5) you'll find plenty of food on your plate.The BAD POINTS: 1) you'll need to buy and prepare all the items - it takes time; 2) we have more food waste (the french onion dip was used once in 4 weeks and we had to throw it out); and, 3) I don't like all the animal protein in the diet.SURPRISES: Serving sizes are smaller that I ever considered (chicken last night was 2.5 ounces per person) but there is a good volume of food when you add all the fruit, vegetables, carbs, protein and fats at the meals.
