Hi guys, I just joined, I was wondering if anyone know anything about the Mayo Clinic and if you have some tips for me?

Since I'm not sure which Mayo Clinic Diet you're talking about - there are several varieties that have been around since the begining of time - I'll leave you with a link to the Mayo Clinic's site

Mayo Clinic Diet -- Myth vs. Reality
Each year, Mayo Clinic is deluged with inquiries about the so-called Mayo Clinic Diet, versions of which have popped up across the country and around the world for decades. The only problem -- none of these diets is associated with or has been endorsed by Mayo Clinic.

No one knows the origin of the diet myth, but Mayo dietitians say it's been around since the 1940s. Over the years, the supposed Mayo Clinic Diet has taken many forms; some push grapefruit, some eggs, some meat. But all share common characteristics: They are "one-size-fits-all" diets which limit the variety of foods and promise dramatic weight loss. These are sure signs of a hoax.

If anything comes close to a "real" Mayo Clinic Diet, it would be the healthy-eating principles described in the new Mayo Clinic book, Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight for EveryBody (2005, Mayo Clinic Health Information). This book, written by nutrition experts at Mayo Clinic, presents a practical, no-gimmicks program to help readers adopt a lifestyle that allows them to achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life.

General healthy eating information based on the principles from the book can be found in the Food and Nutrition Center of MayoClinic.com.

Their food and nutrition center link does contain a lot of usefulinformation... but there is no real diet from the mayo clinic - it's just one more 'fad' diet
