Introduction:
This is a basic weight loss plan for adults who have no
special dietary needs or problems. The Scarsdale Diet
is a diet plan of seven- to fourteen-days duration. It
clearly outlines the types of foods to be consumed at
three meals each day. Snacking is not allowed, and herbal
appetite suppressants are encouraged. Meals consist of
fruit, vegetables, and lean sources of protein in unlimited
amounts. The Scarsdale diet, like other low-carbohydrate,
high-protein plans, eliminates foods that are high in
fiber and many nutrients in favor of quick weight loss.
You have to eat exactly what is assigned. You should not
drink any alcoholic beverages. Between meals you eat only
carrots and celery, but you may have as much as you wish.
The only beverages allowed are regular or decaffeinated
coffee, black; tea; club soda (with lemon, if desired);
and diet sodas in all flavors.
What is good about Scarsdale Diet :
You don't have to count calories or grams of
fat, and there is no limit on portion sizes. Weight
loss often occurs rapidly, and you won't have to
worry about hunger.
What is bad about Scarsdale Diet :
This plan is dangerously low in carbohydrate
and many vitamins and minerals. A strict meal plan must
be followed exactly. Herbal appetite suppressants are
often encouraged; these can be dangerous for people
with heart disease or high blood pressure and have been
linked to death when used in large amounts or in conjunction
with other stimulants such as caffeine.
