I like the tracking, although sometimes the recipe I made from their website doesn't show up, making that a little difficult. I like the reading materials. I like that they have webinars scheduled that I can sign up for, and they record the webinars so I can watch one if I'm unable to "attend" the actual webinar. They are pretty responsive if one has a question/problem. Their Facebook page is helpful. I do wish they would provide some accountability, but I imagine the site would be more expensive if they did.
This plan WORKS! I never imagined how fast and easy it would be. I had tried many other "diets" but none worked. This one did and I am so happy with the results!
I like it, for what I wanted it’s just right. Easy to use and informative

I've lost 32 pounds in 12 weeks and am enjoying a really healthy diet. The ap is good with lots of depth which also means there is a learning curve. I love to cook but if you don't, this might not be the diet for you.

Terrible customer service/customer care
Not easy to navigate. Also their meal plans and options were at best very average. Their customer support is terrible and I dont think there is a real person. Be very careful on recurring charges. They do not give you a notice that you are being charged and canceled while the charge was pending as my bank notified me - they refused to give the credit. There are much better organizations and apps for help with weight loss

I am only on my 3rd week of this diet & still learning how to use their site but I have lost 7.5 lbs thus far & 4 inches. They make it easy to track food intake, exercise, etc... The food tracker has been the most helpful to guide me in my choices as I am retraining myself on serving sizes of different food groups. It helps me to be accountable to everything I put in my mouth. I haven't been overly hungry on this diet & when I am, I am choosing healthier snack options. I have felt good, not deprived, with more energy. Their recipes are delicious & offer variety & are easy & fast to prepare. My husband is losing weight too without trying because I am cooking healthier for us. I love the exercise options they offer too. It's like my own personal trainer with variety. The most exciting part is the results that I see as my reward if I follow the plan. When I don't the scales tell on me. I still have 34 lbs to go & many more inches but they make it easy to be compliant. It has been helpful to have a plan to follow that I don't have to think so hard about. They give you everything you need to succeed! I know that I still have a long way to go but I am committed. I look forward to my knees, hips, & back hurting less as I lose this extra weight. I would definitely recommend this diet for healthy weight loss that won't cause you to lose muscle too like some other starvation diets do.

The broadness in scope of the diet from reduced calories, balancing the nutritional requirements, and changing habits. Additionally it has given me the structure to keep the routine from becoming stale by supplying a meal plan to give a high level of variety.

This program is excellent. It provides comprehensive support by combining personalized meal plans, exercise guidance, easy-to-use tracking tools, and one-on-one coaching.
I have been extremely pleased with my experience and noticed positive effects almost immediately. I also genuinely enjoy the meals—they are delicious, satisfying, and easy to prepare.
Joining this program required me to change several long-established eating habits and routines. I expected the transition to be difficult, but it has been remarkably comfortable thanks to the thoughtful meal plans, flavorful recipes, and practical food suggestions. Overall, I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a sustainable, supportive approach to improving their health.

I had not been able to lose even five pounds on my own and knew I needed some help. The Mayo program gave me the structure I needed. I found it simple to follow. The food guidelines made sense to me and I was rarely hungry. Have made my goal and looking forward to living my new habits.

I was looking for a diet that could provide menus and grocery lists. I got so much more with the MCD diet heart healthy plan. I lost 18 lbs in 12 weeks, can feel the difference the anti-inflammatory diet makes, have lost a dress size and feel so much better! Some of the recipes are quite bland, but you can swap meals you don't like. Best weight loss program I've ever been on!
