The Scarsdale diet meal plan was developed by a medical doctor and based on the premise that low carbohydrates, low fat diet paired with certain food combinations can result in optimal weight loss. The Scarsdale Diet Meal Plan yields results that other diets without the food combinations cannot.
The following is a basic outline of the Scarsdale meal plan. The Scarsdale meal plan can be used in conjunction with recipes (that utilize the given foods) to crate a healthy weight loss plan for you to follow.
The Scarsdale diet meal plan is based on a seven day schedule. Once you complete the seven days, you simply start over from the beginning.
