Created by Dr. John and Mary McDougall, the Mary's mini diet is a short-term, simplified eating plan designed to reset your dietary habits and promote weight loss. It is often used as a way to kickstart a whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle or break a weight loss plateau.

Statistics from the McDougall program indicate that stricter adherence to the Mary's Mini protocol often yields faster weight loss results. This raises a common question for dieters: can you eat fruit on Mary's Mini?

Created by Mary McDougall as a 'trimmed-down, fast-acting modification' of the standard McDougall Program, the temporary meal plan known as a Mary's Mini is designed to jump-start weight loss or simplify eating. This short-term, restrictive diet focuses on a single starch, with the goal of resetting taste buds and breaking unhealthy eating habits.
