The Doctor Tarnower, the Scarsdale diet offers a weight loss program of fourteen days.
Breakfast is invariably composed of half a grapefruit, a slice of bread enriched with proteins or a slice of wholemeal bread, coffee or tea. Lunch and dinner consist of a lean meat or fish, combined with a vegetable consumed hot or cold as appropriate.
Four times a week, is added to meals half a grapefruit, or a seasonal fruit. Twice a week, there is only entitled to a fruit salad as a meal. Once a week, the main course consists of two eggs, but with curd. Finally, on Friday afternoon, we only entitled to a portion of cheese with one slice of bread.
Vegetables allowed are not limited in amount. Meat, fish and vegetables are cooked without fat. The salads are prepared without a drop of oil, but you can put vinegar, lemon, spices, garlic and onions, salt and mustard. As for drinks, alcohol, milk and fruit juices, they are prohibited. Remains water, mineral, tap, or sweetened drinks you can consume at will.
Dr. Tarnower offers Scarsdale diet “gourmet”, a Scarsdale diet exotic trend, in which the flat vaguely recall the food traditions of different countries, “economic” Scarsdale diet for those who wish to limit the cost of food, and finally a Scarsdale diet for vegetarians.
Every two weeks, a scheme designed to “stabilize the weight loss” claims to offer a “wider range of foods,” but continues to ban all starchy foods (pasta, rice, potatoes, maize, pulses) all sweet desserts, all added fats, chocolate, sausages and most dairy products. This stabilization plan allows unsweetened spirits, wine or whiskey at a rate of one drink per day, two slices of bread a day, three eggs per week, jams without sugar and nuts.
Most
– There is no need to rack their brains to design menus, everything is organized. Just buy what it takes to realize his plan.
– Its duration is short, so it is possible to take without cracking or tiring. Several stabilization programs are recommended, which are chosen according to their preferences.
– The short-term effectiveness is good, though not always as important as does the author states, that boasts to lose one pound per day on average.
Least
– The principle is: the selection of food is such that the proportions of proteins, fats and carbohydrates are reversed compared to a balanced diet. We eat a lot of protein, low carbohydrate and low in fat. For your information, I remind you that a diet too high in protein can cause premature wear of the renal system and a diet low in fat and / or carbohydrate diet is no better than a balanced diet and simply limited carbohydrates and proteins. To summarize: a useless and frustrating stiffness.
– Follow the Scarsdale diet for fourteen short days does not present a danger to the body because the intakes of protein, minerals and vitamins are generally sufficient. However, its extension or its frequent repetition, as proposed by the author, lead to many nutritional imbalances due to the near absence of essential fatty acids (all oils are prohibited …) of calcium deficiency (the dairy products are insufficient), some meals without protein (Tuesday and Saturday lunch), leading eventually to a loss of lean body mass. These light detail of little importance in a short time, end up having an impact on the medium and long term health.
– Each menu is calibrated in advance, improvisation is totally prohibited. No question of making dining out. Undiversified, rather boring, it has the disadvantage of being deficient in calcium and essential fatty acids, essential to brain function.
