Diet Plans And Menus - The Scarsdale Diet:
The Scarsdale Diet was created by Doctor Herman Tarnower. Its first phase lasts only two weeks but claims to help dieters lose up to 20 pounds (9 kilograms) during this short period. Don’t even think of stretching this very low-calorie diet for more than two weeks. Follow this super strict initial phase by a more flexible maintenance phase that also lasts two weeks. The Scarsdale Diet popularity may have received an unexpected boost when the doctor was murdered, allegedly by his long-time partner in March, 1980. I don’t remember the details but I don’t think that she was all that unhappy with the diet. Here are some of the diet principles.
During the initial phase follow the menus exactly. If you’re hungry you are allowed to gnaw on celery sticks, carrots, or other veggies. Drink as much coffee, tea, or sugarless carbonated drinks as you like but don’t touch a drop of alcohol. Don’t eat fatty foods. Steam your vegetables. Don’t eat if you’re not hungry. Weigh yourself every morning. During the maintenance phase you are allowed a small glass of wine or a beer daily. There is a long list of forbidden foods.
