Scarsdale Diet Overview

Scarsdale diet is a hugely famous diet in the '70's being introduced by Dr Herman Tarnower, who ran a clinic in the town of the same name and created the diet for overweight patients.  Scarsdale diet contains 43% protein, 22.5% fat and 34.5% carbohydrate.  Tarnower claimed that this level of carb would trigger ketosis, weight loss would be fast and hunger under control.  Dieters are supposed to follow the weight-reducing scarsdale diet strictly for 2 weeks at a time only.

Scarsdale Diet Promise

Speedy weight loss of about 20lb (9kg) in 14 days, average claimed is 1lb(0.5kg) per day when on scarsdale diet

Scarsdale Diet Drawback

Scarsdale Diet is very strict about following the diet to detail during the 2 weeks, so you will have little room for choice, and some time have problem finding some of the items in shops.

High level of animal protein may cause kidney problems or increase risk of osteoporosis.

Weight loss claimed is far too rapid during scarsdale diet compared with official guidelines of 1-2lb a week.
