Like mal said. Fad diet. This is the one that made the rounds under "The Mayo Clinic Diet" said to have been developed as a fast weight loss plan for their patients awaiting surgery. It actually never had anything to do with The Mayo Clinic. The Mayo Clinic does have an endorsed weight loss program however,

From their newsletter:
"The program stresses healthy food choices from a variety of food groups, with emphasis on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean sources of protein and heart-healthy unsaturated fats. The plan is combined with enjoyable physical activity."



Maybe you should try that one. I believe you will have better, longer lasting results.
