The highly effective Mayo Clinic Diet, published in 2009, produces even better results when dieters add personal or group coaching to their efforts to get healthier. Mary Coussons-Read, PhD, Founding Principal and Coach for Powerful Mind Coaching, says her clients report that coaching helps them stay on track, stay motivated, and stick to their plans to reach a healthier weight. "Most people come to a diet like the Mayo Clinic Diet after trying many other ways to lose weight and keep it off. They're looking for a way to make 'this time' different and for many coaching is the ticket. Adding the support of a coach who's been there can make a huge difference in the level of success people have with this diet," says Coussons-Read, who coaches individuals and groups over the phone around the principles in the Mayo Clinic Diet.
