The Scarsdale diet has been hailed a success from moms who need to lose a few pounds, or more than a few pounds – using foods that can be purchased at the local supermarket.
One of the principals of the diet is that the consumer can fill up on carrots and celery as well as low-sodium vegetable broth – therefore, you don’t have to go hungry when following the fourteen day Scarsdale diet.

The recommended time to follow the Scarsdale diet is fourteen days and patients have reportedly lost up to twenty pounds throughout the process. Patients have best results following the diet when they follow the diet for two weeks, and combine with regular exercise and then adhering to your regular meal plan. As long as you exercise regularly throughout the weight loss program and ensure that you are keeping calories low, you should be able to see results from the diet. The low calorie diet is an effective way to lose weight without going hungry.
The calories per day from the diet should be kept between 850 and 1000 calories per day. This low calorie diet is effective for weight loss – and with the celery and broth available for consumption through the day – it can be a great way to lose weight without going hungry.
Fats should be avoided throughout the diet and therefore spices and fresh herbs can be used to create flavor within each of the dishes that are being prepared. Salt, ketchup, chili sauce and mustard are allowed condiments within the diet but it is important to use these flavorings in moderation as they do contain significant levels of calories which will add to the daily intake. It is important to avoid corn, peas, waxed vegetables and every type of beans while following the Scarsdale diet. These types of vegetables can lead to an increased level of calories being consumed each day. Be sure to eat until you are satisfied with the food, but do not overeat. This can lead to weight loss being halted through the process.
