Diet Plan Reviews
Scarsdale

The Plan
A seven- to fourteen-day plan that clearly outlines the types of foods to be consumed at three meals each day. Snacking is not allowed, and herbal appetite suppressants are encouraged. Meals consist of fruit, vegetables, and lean sources of protein in unlimited amounts.

Pros
You don't have to count calories or grams of fat and there is no limit on portion sizes. Weight loss often occurs rapidly, and you won't be hungry.

Cons
This plan is dangerously low in carbohydrate and many vitamins and minerals. A strict meal plan must be followed exactly. Herbal appetite suppressants can be dangerous for people with heart disease or high blood pressure and have been linked to death when used in large amounts or in conjunction with other stimulants, such as caffeine.
