How to Know If The Scarsdale Diet is Right For You
The Scarsdale diet, with its intense regulations, isn't right for everyone. Before diving into this diet, it's important to full understand what you're getting yourself into. Picking the wrong diet will only leave you frustrated at your lack of success.

The Scarsdale diet begins with a 14-day period of intense dieting. During this time, you'll be restricted to a very limited number of food groups. Under this dieting plan, you'll also only be able to consume 1,000 calories a day. This diet plan puts you in a severe calorie deficit, which will allow you to lose weight very quickly.
One of the main concerns with the Scarsdale diet is the risk for nutritional deficiency. Since you're consuming so little, your body may not get the nutrients that it needs. It's important to talk to a nutritional expert about this diet before committing to it, so you can understand your own body's nutritional needs and how to meet them while dieting.
It's also important to understand that losing a lot of weight rapidly can actually harm your body rather than help it. This might sound confusing, but the average person is only meant to lose four to ten pounds per month. Any more than that is taxing for your body. Before settling on the Scarsdale diet, make sure you speak to a medical professional who can best advise you on how to proceed.
