Diet Reviews

They won t let you back out of a plan if you decide it s not right for you I tried it for a couple of months and it was fine but I couldn t get any more use out if it after that so I wanted to cancel I was even willing to pay the higher month to month price to get rid of it but they wouldn t allow it So much for the needs of the patient coming first

The program is really quite good but I found the the interaction with the site extremely frustrating I didn t get the value that I paid for The 4week extension that was meant to help with my dissatisfaction was just as frustrating for me

It s very difficult to follow the meal plans if you have a life outside of dieting The meals require a tremendous amount of prep and work and I m a very good home cook The ingredients list is not clear and I ve had a lot of food waste For example week 1 meal called for 5 medium zucchini and 2 bunches of asparagus Half of both ended up in the garbage Meals are for one and the list is not accurate The tech is not intuitive and difficult to use if on a phone or Pad It s also very expensive If I could get a refund I would

1 The grocery list for the menus comes up too late and when you check something off the list it reappears when you reopen it Not all items are readily available 2 The meal plans do not make room for personal likes and dislikes I hate avocado 3 After 12 weeks the program has reset to week one 4 Some of the program doesn t seem suitable for high blood pressure because of the use of premade sauces that have a fairly high sodium content

The plan was helpful I ended up only using the tracking function but it worked HOWEVER - the first I knew of the automatic renewal policy was when I got a receipt in e-mail for an unexpected 265 charge to my credit card I attempted to cancel within a couple hours of getting the receipt but was refused on the grounds that their subscriptions auto-renew and are non-refundable Very deceptive practice so beware

The Mayo Clinic Diet is not going to be appreciated by everyone so commit to the shortest term possible as there is no right to cancel And be sure to cancel even if you like the plan as it will automatically charge you for a longer period of time once your current period has ended The diet depends heavily on participants using the provided recipes But some of those recipes are bland and tasteless and not appropriate for your family or guests Tracking in the app is cumbersome and not as easy as other trackers such as Noom and Nutritionix The program has informative articles but there was no method in the app to mark that you read a particular article Big disappointment

While I did lose several pounds and the recipes were lovely I was left feeling very annoyed I did not realize that this was a subscription that automatically renewed and when I contacted the team immediately they refused to back out the charge for the next three month period They claimed to have given me a 30-day notice which they did not

I would rather see a Nutritionist person toPerson

I have been on the diet for almost six weeks and have lost four pounds not the expected weight loss that was advertised but that s not the reason for my three star rating Buying all of the different foods each week was expensive I also spent far more time in the kitchen than I wanted to The recipes weren t what I was used to eating and I didn t like many of them so it became repetitive I understand accountability but the trackers are cumbersome so I didn t use them but kept track on paper The diet is helpful to reset healthy eating habits and the meal plans and menus can be downloaded and printed I signed up for three months and cancelled after three weeks with the effective date at the end of three months I appreciated the gluten free option and I m more mindful of portion size and activity level It was not for me Addendum to Mayo Clinic diet Thanks for replying but I am already using the simple menu gluten free I also don t like many of the menus and have fixed them to suit my taste The diet has served its purpose and has been helpful I won t be renewing

The recipe s and tracker work great The app and website for changing menu s and accurately counting nutritionhave not worked Big minus is no phone support
