The Scarsdale Medical diet was refined over 19 years of private study and formulated to provide a completely balanced two week eating plan for the purposes of effective weight loss.
Nowhere in the entire book does it say that you should substitute the meals on days 5, 6 and 7 for a hedonistic weekend binge of chicken wings, pizza and beer and then abandon the remaining 7 days of meal plans in favour of the "Exotic Asian Cooking" book that caught my eye. Mr Scarsdale must be turning in his grave. On the other hand, Mr Tesco is delighted because I just spent £74.78 on exotic asian ingredients.
I was bang on 18 stone last Friday morning after 4 days of Scarsdale. I was back up to 18 stone 3 pounds on Monday morning. (Thankfully ONLY 3 pounds up.) After receiving the expected "more fruit and veg" advice from my previous week's dietry analysis, I began Monday with renewed vegetable vigour. 3 days and many vegetables later, I'm returned to where I worked so hard to get to.
My current weight is 18 stones exaclty (252 pounds / 114.3 kg).
Edict one: I've been issued with an executive training directive (my very first to date). Running has to begin before the end of March to stand a snowballs chance in hell of making it through the Triathlon. I have to be less than 17 stones to begin running to avert serious joint injuries. The mathematics is quite straightforward.

Yeah but you get a few fatties on those Tesco 'Fun' runs.
What age did old Scabsdale go on till though?
Did he do an Ironman?
Don't forget there's always the Butterfield Diet -
'One baked bean with broccoli shavings, tepid water'
Turns out Old Scarside was actually Dr Tarnhower
who curiously was shot at point blank range by one Jean Harris, his partner.
She felt she was being replaced by a younger woman, the whole thing was made into a made for TV movie starring Ellen Bursteyn.
Ms. Harris was locked up for 12 years.
His dietary advice is sound, even if was treading on shaky moral ground.
