Does what it sets out to doMarch 20, 2010 Christopher Mobbs(Canberra Australia) I first used this book over a decade ago and then I gave it to someone who didn't retrun it. so I bought another one. I find it a very sensible approach backed by the science. Although I'm not losing weight as fast as I might have wanted to (and as fast as some others), I am nearly at my target weight after 5 weeks. The diet has been very varied and healthy and is pointing me to some permanent changes in diet. It does take real discipline to follow and not cheat, and it also takes a bit of planning to make sure you have the right stuff for each coming day. But I'm well pleased.
Good Diet Starter's BookFebruary 22, 2010 P. Wen There are detail recipes and schedules; However, for vegetarian menu, it is really hard to follow. I love their regular diet!

I purchased this book and started the basic scarsdale medical diet on Nov. 30, 2009.
The Dr. states that you will lose 1 pound per day. He is correct. I have weighed myself periodically and on average I've lost 1 pound per day since starting the diet. I really like the fact that each meal is planned for you. This diet seems to be similar to the Atkin's diet but it is much more flexible than that one in my opinion. The protein bread toasted tastes pretty good. The best part of this diet is that you only have to stay on it for 2 weeks. The following 2 weeks you monitor your food intake, with even more flexibility in food choices and basically eat healthy. If you still need to lose more weight, then you return to the 2 weeks on portion (which I plan to do). I really like this approach to weight loss and as the Doctor says in the book "It works!". I don't have anything negative to say about his approach. I wish more doctors would provide plans to patients who need to lose weight, like they used to in the "old days". But now that the doctors are so hurried, it is good that we can still go back to how things use to be and get this book. I highly recommend it.
