The
Scarsdale diet is an extremely restrictive two-week
diet, developed by an American doctor. It cuts out
carbohydrates, all fats, most dairy products, fruit
juices, alcohol, sweets and puddings, chocolate and
deli meat. The diet comes in several different versions
- Foodie, Exotic, Economy and Vegetarian.
At the end of the two-week period, a stabilisation plan
weans you gradually back onto more food, by adding three
eggs a week, the two slices of bread a day, sugar-free
jam, nuts and even a glass of wine!
Sample day's food:
Breakfast:
1/2 grapefruit, or fruit in season
1 slice toast, without spread or jam
Coffee or tea, no sugar, milk or cream
Lunch and Dinner:
Unrestricted meat or fish
Low-calorie vegetables, or salad
1 dessertspoon of essential fatty acids - olive or sunflower
oil
Coffee or tea
Water
No deserts or snacks |

This
plan is perfectly safe over the short term, with
enough protein, minerals and vitamins to keep you going.
Advertised weight loss is around 500g a day, but in
reality, it is usually less. |

The
lack of fat and dairy produce can cause nutritional
imbalances, if you go on the diet too often.
As with other diets which promise rapid weight loss,
the weight will come straight back on, once you return
to your normal eating habits!
