I am just looking for some variety. I've been on the Atkins, Protein Power Plan, Sugar Busters, and Carbohydrate Addicts diets in the past. I am convinced that high protein/low carb dieting is the best for me. I am a registered nurse and know that the "Mayo Clinic Diet" has nothing to do with the Mayo Clinic. But I also know that it has worked well for many. It is only recommended for short periods, like 2 months or less. My husband and I have been on the Atkins for a few months, and would just like a variation for a month or so? The diet talks about high protein foods that are low in carb, but it is not clear to me if cheese is allowed or not. Also, celery is not allowed at all. I don't know what is up with this. Does anyone know? I love beets, and the diet says, "any red vegetable". Does any one have experience with the so-called "Mayo Clinic Diet", the one that the Mayo Clinic hates (but really works)?
Thanks!
