Everything you read about diets should be "taken with a
grain of salt". If something seems too good to be true, or
not plausible, seek other sources, or ask at
http://mayoclinic.com.

You probably have heard about "anorexia", self-starvation,
or "bulimia", binge eating followed by laxatives and/or
induced vomiting. These disorders often affect females
with poor self image. Death can result.

You might not realize that some fad diets are also deadly
to health or to life. Any diet that focuses on just a few
foods, or mostly water or juices, except under personal
medical supervision, can damage critical organs and nerve
tissues beyond repair. Don't willfully make yourself into
a starvation victim.

Be cautious when reading about such things as "macrobiotic"
diets. "Macrobiotic" is a combination of two words, created
to mean great / long life achieved through diet of whole
grains, vegetables, beans, limited quantities of animal
foods. Some fanatics have taken this to mean nothing but
grains and water. The "brown rice diet" is an example that
has caused deaths.

Don't expect "the grapefruit diet" to do much more than
supply you with a lot of vitamin C. You had better continue
eating proteins, fruits, vegetables, fiber foods.

As I wrote in my diet eBook,
If calories burned are more / less than calories ingested,
weight will be lost / gained. Physics can NOT be turned off.

By the way, as you can read on their web site, posted
August 22, 2003,
"Mayo Clinic diet: It doesn't exist.
A number of so-called "Mayo Clinic diets" have surfaced over
the years. None of these originated at or are endorsed by
Mayo Clinic."

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Healthy Weight Loss... Some Basics Of A Macrobiotic Diet A macrobiotic diet is a diet formulated by the belief that food, and the quality of food, has an affect on a person's life on a greater extent than most people realize. Practitioners of a macrobiotic diet believe that food has an affect on health, as well as happiness and well being. Those who follow a macrobiotic diet believe that natural foods with little to no processing are the best choice of food. In addition, they believe in using traditional methods of cooking and they enjoy cooking for themselves, as well as for family and friends. Literally translated, macrobiotics means "great life." Physicians and philosophers from around the world have associated macrobiotics with living in harmony with nature while eating a simple and balanced diet. In the 1920's, George Ohsawa, who founded the modern form of macrobiotics, claimed to have cured himself from a serious illness by changing his diet.
