    No sorry.

    Why not just eat at a calorie deficit?

    Scarsdale is a VLCD developed in the 1950's. There is no reason to do something this aggressive and unhealthy, especially if you only have 15 lbs to lose. Please reconsider putting your stats into MFP, selecting a healthy rate of loss, and eating enough to take good care of yourself.

    This was big in the 70's, I didn't realize anyone even did this anymore :worried:

    I love this. I feel like I need to post it on my wall to remind myself - if I'm not enjoying my meals, I'm doing it wrong!

    I'm always surprised when people say something like "I had excellent results" and "I've done it before"...together...when it comes to dieting.

    Agree. That's why when I hear the term 'diet' I almost insta-think that it is not sustainable. A person can eat like he isn't on a diet but just at a reduced calorie level and when he gets to his goal weight he just needs to switch to maintenance mode.

    I accept all your opinions, im a doctor, i do not starve myself. 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 just use the menú and the control with the bread since i tend to eat a lot. Ive been eating good and working out for some months without diet and i have not gained weight but also did not lose any, so its time to watch what i eat. Counting calories isnt healthy either if you look at it with judging eyes. Anyway... I guess i shouldnt have asked for support

    Are you a doctor or a pastry chef? Or both, because that is pretty interesting

    I have several issues with this post. The first being: you are a doctor. So you made it through all of your courses with poor grammar and spelling? Also, I don't think I have ever heard a physician say that counting calories is unhealthy for someone who needs to lose weight.
