Although you may not be too familiar with the Scarsdale diet plan, it has been around for several years now. So, what kind of diet plan is it and does it actually help you to lose weight fast?
Dr. Herman Tarnover is behind the Scarsdale diet plan. The plan claims a very bold one pound weight loss per day while following the diet.
As with most all fad diet plans, snacking is not allowed and you are limited to 3 meals a day. And like so many diets, this is another low carb, high protein system.
In order to lose the amount of weight the diet claims you can, you must follow every instruction to the letter. The problem is, once you are finished after 7-14 days, you often just put the weight right back on because of the difficulty in finding an eating plan.
Something I found a little out of the ordinary is that the Scarsdale diet plan does not advocate exercise in addition to the diet. But, when you see that your body is only getting 900-1000 calories a day, doing any kind of exercise would be difficult at best. That is a major issue with these types of fad diets.
A typical meal on the Scarsdale diet plan includes:
-One slice of toast, half a grapefruit and a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast.
-Some deli meat for lunch without bread along with carrots and celery.
-Roast turkey, lean hamburger or lamb for dinner. Fruit salad is also allowed.
The Verdict
Following the Scarsdale diet plan you will lose some weight. But, this plan can not be recommended as a long term diet plan due to all of the restrictions. Your body needs more calories to remain healthy and this diet would be difficult to follow after a week.
