The Mayo Clinic has denied on more than one occasion that this diet was developed in its center in Rochester, in the United States, despite which it is still popularly known as the Mayo Clinic diet.

With this diet you can lose up to 10 kilos in 14 days, if you do not eat bread or pasta and do not drink alcohol.

It is a hyperprotein diet, very rich in protein and very low in carbohydrates and fats, so we cannot consider it a balanced diet.

It allows a rapid loss of kilos because, being very low in carbohydrates, the body is forced to consume the sugar reserves found in the liver in the form of glycogen. Consequently, a large amount of liquids will also be eliminated, which the scale will reflect as lost kilos when in reality it is liters of water.
