The Scarsdale Diet was one of the first diets to advocate a low carbohydrate approach to weight loss. The Scarsdale Diet claims you will lose a pound a day. It has since lost popularity to such diets as Atkins and the Zone, even though it is very similar. The Scarsdale Diet is a good starter diet to lose a lot of weight quickly, but you will need to find an alternative to transition to after the initial weight loss period if you don’t want to put the weight right back on. I suggest you look at one of other other reviewed diet plans for continuing weight loss.
