A Change for Good
Like many of us, AAMC employees Peggy Rabuck and Joyce Kroneberger were no strangers to
dieting. So when they saw a new “diet” advertised at AAMC from the reputable Mayo Clinic,
they decided to give it a try.
“It was unlike any other program I’ve done,” says Joyce. “This was a real change in lifestyle. I
learned to rethink my relationship with food.”
The Mayo Clinic Diet is a weight management program that focuses on adopting healthy habits
and breaking unhealthy ones. Led by a registered dietitian and cardiac rehab specialist, the weekly
classes provide a supportive, no-guilt group atmosphere and education that builds the foundation
for fad-free nutrition and exercise.
“It’s not radical or hokey, it just makes sense,” says Peggy. “For example, they encourage you to
eat whole, natural foods instead of processed.”
Since taking the class, both women have enjoyed positive results. “I lost over 20 pounds,” says
Peggy. “I’m no longer pre-diabetic, and I don’t need to take one of my blood pressure medications
anymore. I also recently met my goal of completing a 5K run.” Joyce lost 40 pounds and says, “I
have more energy. It’s the best thing I ever did for myself.”
