Hi! Well since I posted here last I've had a couple people ask about this diet, so I thought I'd post it for everyone! Let me know how it goes if you try it! Your success may get me motivated to get back on it!
Allrighty! Here it is...
New Mayo Clinic Diet (not really from Mayo Clinic)
In 2 1/2 Months you should lose 52 pounds
BREAKFAST:
1/2 Grapefruit or juice (unsweetened)
2 eggs, any style
2 slices of bacon
LUNCH:
1/2 Grapefruit or juice (unsweetened)
salad with any dressing
meat, any style, any amount
DINNER:
1/2 Grapefruit or juice (unsweetened)
meat, any style, any amount (fish may be substituted)
vegetable, any green or red (cooked in butter or any seasoning)
BEDTIME SNACK:
glass of tomato juice or skim milk
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. At any meal, you may eat until you are full.
2. Don't skip bacon at breakfast or omit salad; it is the combination of foods that burn fat.
3. The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process.
4. Cut down on coffee; it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Limit 3 cups per day.
5. Don't eat between meals. If you eat the combination of foods suggested, you will not get hungry.
6. Do not eat dessert, breads, white vegetables or sweet potatoes. You may double or triple helpings of meat, salad or vegetables. Eat as much as you want. The more you eat of the proper combination of foods, the more you will lose.
NOTES:
1. This diet completely eliminates sugar and starches which are lipids and form fat. Fat does not form fat. You can fry foods in butter and use butter generously on vegetables.
2. You can lose 10 pounds in 10 days. There will be no loss the first 4 days, but you will lose 5 pounds on the 5th day. There-after, you will lose 1 1/2 pounds every 2 days until you are at your desired weight.
3. All soft drinks need to be diet and caffeine free.
4. You may not have white onions, potatoes or celery.
5. You MAY have: red onions, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, green onions, cabbage, radishes, spinach, and carrots.
IMPORTANT:
Stay on the diet for 12 days. The stop dieting for 2 days. This diet is given to heart patients who need to lose weight quickly for by-pass surgery.

Notes & tips from me & my bf from our experiences:
1. If you start on a Monday, you'll have every other weekend off!
2. My bf doesn't like eggs so he had 4 peices of bacon instead of eggs & bacon. That didn't stop or slow his weight loss.
3. Don't snack between meals! I know it says that above, but I just want to mention that even when I ate jerky & veggies between meals it slowed my weight loss.
4. This is a great diet if you like meat... if you can afford lots of meat... and if you're ready to be strick with yourself.
5. Eat whatever you like on the 2 days off! I never gained a pound on my every-other weekend that I had off & I stuffed my face with everything I was tempted by!
6. Good luck!

Atkings Diet ? Cabbage Diet , Slim fast?
Thank you .
Oh, but you wouldn't beleive how wonderful that stuff is when your on this diet!!! 
***The other thing I did (the 2nd time I tried this plan) was to munch on veggies & jerky between meals. But I don't advise that since the 2nd time around I wasn't strict enough with myself & it didn't work!
That sounds crazy but it's true; after the initial week, that biter, sour grapefruit juice starts tasting like honey! Two years later I still have non-sweetend grapefruit juice cravings sometimes!
Wanna try it all together?
