    Isn't the Scarsdale diet a lead based diet?

    I'm not trying to discourage you or encourage you, but I did that diet back in college (in the 90's) and had some really not-so-good effects. First of all, I lost weight too and managed to keep most of it off for a long time. I went from 128 to 118 and I'm almost 5'6".....10 lbs in 2 weeks when I was already thin. But I was too young and dumb to realize. While I was on the diet I ran...a lot. So between the diet plan and exercise I set myself up to lose that weight. However, my period stopped for a couple of months and I can't help but wonder whether that had any effect on my fertility (It took months to conceived first kid and nearly a decade for the 2nd one). But thats beside the point. Please be careful. I think people here just want people to make good choices, despite how they might come off.

    When I gained weight it was the fault of the Chinese food delivery guy.

    Let me guess his side job.... hmmmm.... Professor of Physics?

    Waiting eagerly to hear the explanation behind the "I'm a doctor/I'm a pastry chef" ("It's a floor wax/It's a dessert topping!) thing.

    The Scarsdale diet used to be "the thing" back in the 1970s/80s. My friend, who had been overweight all her life, did it for two months when we were teenagers and lost 40lbs and has maintained a healthy weight to this day. I tried it myself for a short time but it made me feel ill and I gained back all the weight I had lost within a few days.

    I use it as guidance to eat the menu they tell me plus milk and some other changes ive made to make it healthier.

    I believe it is a ketogenic diet and is quite restrictive (I recall one evening's dinner was fried minced beef with cucumbers) and you are NOT allowed to make any substitutions if you want it to work, so you would not be allowed to have milk, for example, unless it is specified.

    Having said that, my friend's example proves it can work, so good luck!
