The Meal Plan In terms of what you will be eating it’s not much. It apparently provides around 43% protein, 34.5% carbohydrates and 22.5% fat. Here’s an example of a daily meal plan: Breakfast (same every day) 1/2 grapefruit 1 slice of toast made with protein bread tea/coffee/diet soda/water Lunch cold cuts (meat, no fillers) with tomatoes tea/coffee/diet soda/water Dinner broiled fish or shellfish green salad one slice of protein bread 1/2 grapefruit tea/coffee/diet soda/water You are also supposed to walk at least 3 km per day on this diet and do a workout.

That’s at least an hour of walking. You can drink warm water and lots of tea, coffee, and diet sodas to combat the hunger.

The Science or Lack Thereof

Behind The Scarsdale Diet

The Scarsdale Diet is built around ketosis. The diet believes that the production of ketones is great as the ketones act as an appetite suppressant. And that this is the beauty of the Scarsdale Diet.

So what is ketosis? Ketosis is the process whereby the body converts stored fat into energy when suffering low intake of carbohydrates. Ketones are produced as a by-product during the conversion. If you are in ketosis you may notice an unpleasant fruity breath odor that people may mistake for alcohol. Prolonged ketosis can change your blood acidity and lead to serious damage to the liver and kidneys.

There are a few other effects of ketosis. You may experience short term fatigue, a decrease in performance, digestive problems, and insomnia. But on the plus side, you may also be experiencing appetite suppression, increased focus and energy, and weight loss.

In fact, the appetite suppression is featured as a key benefit to the Scarsdale Diet: “One of the best things about ketones for the wouldbe weight loser is that they act to curb the appetite, thus making the whole dieting process less burdensome and cutting down any need you might feel for appetite suppressing drugs.�

Final Thoughts

Instead, I advise people never to go below 1200 calories and 1500 calories is better. This is the best way to lose weight as you’ll have enough food to eat and you won’t be hungry.

The low-carbohydrate profile of the Scarsdale diet also means that potential risks include osteoporosis, kidney stones, gallstones, and renal insufficiency.

The Scarsdale diet has been listed as a fad diet by the American Dietetic Association (ADA). As such the nature of the diet means that it is also not recommended by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).

Aside from the potential to have a number of unpleasant side effects and the potential risk of developing an eating disorder while on this diet; another reason that VLCD’s are not medically advised is they are notoriously difficult to follow.

So the chances of you completing the diet are negligible because you will be outrageously hungry.

And as with everything in life if you set about a task and fail it has a negative effect on your self-esteem.

That is why it’s best to take on reasonably achievable tasks and challenges. If you think you should lose weight then always choose a diet that has at least 1200 to 1500 calories. That way you’ll have a good chance of sticking to it.
