I've purchased the Mayo Clinic Diet book recently, begun thumbing through it. All the way back to page 302 the menu guide starts! I was surprised by that. Lot's of behavior modification stuff in the previous 301 pages.... I'm pleasantly surprised that breakfast includes a bagel, lunch includes a turkey sandwich, and dinner includes a small flank steak, 1/2 potato and green beans, even alittle sour cream!

so far today I've had steel cut oatmeal with strawberries and ice tea. I haven't shopped the menu in this book yet, working on that next .
my current diet modifications have been stricter than the menu guide in this book, but I credit a 10 lb weight loss for me this month! 20 more pounds to lose is my goal.

@lioness you were right, it's a nice book
