What is the Scarsdale Diet

03-01-2009

Are you seeking a way to lose weight a safe and effective way? The Scarsdale diet has helped hundreds of people lose weight to the tune of up to one pound per day! The medical diet focuses on weight loss by using a low calorie low carbohydrate diet to accommodate weight loss quickly, for patients that need to reduce their total body mass index.

The Scarsdale diet was traditionally used for patients undergoing surgery to reduce their weight. When the weight is reduced, so are the risks that are associated with a surgical procedure being completed. IN as little as fourteen days, the Scarsdale diet can help the patient to lose up to twenty pounds.

There is a very specific breakdown of the types of foods that are consumed throughout the course of the weight loss diet. This breakdown includes; 43% of food that is consumed through the diet is protein, 22.5% is made up of fat consumed through the meal plan and 24% carbohydrates. Following this specific combination can assist the dieter to shave twenty pounds off of their weight. As with any successful weight loss plan, it is essential to include an intensive exercise program. At least thirty minutes of exercise should be completed per day to ensure that the weight is lost through the process. This exercise should consist of alternating days of muscle toning and well as high intensity cardio to burn the optimal amount of calories through the exercise process. Toning has the benefit of increasing the muscle mass within the body and increasing the metabolism.

Throughout the two week period of the diet, an average of 1,000 calories is consumed through the daily meal plan. this low calorie diet can assist in weight loss as the body will enter a state of ketosis, in which the body will burn fat that has been accumulated within the body, as there is little to no fat being consumed through the food which is currently being eaten. The strict diet plan must be followed in order to see weight loss through the process.

It is important for the dieter to realize that the diet should not be followed for more than two weeks. The diet is meant for short term weight loss and the low amounts of calories which are consumed are just not sustainable through the better part of the diet. Of course, with any diet plan, there is a follow-up plan that enables the dieter to avoid putting the weight back on after regular eating habits have been assumed.

There is no doubt that weight loss will occur when the dieter follows the Scarsdale diet plan. Up to twenty pounds that can be lost through the fourteen day process could translate into a size or two being lost through the two weeks that the Scarsdale diet is followed. Like any fad diet that guarantees fast results, it cannot be determined how much of the weight that is lost through the Scarsdale diet is lost water weight from the body. Regardless, results have been measured which give this diet a rating of “try it”!
