SCARSDALE'S DIET

This diet is named after the city of Scarsdale near New York City in the United States of America, where Dr. (Harman Tarnower) lives and works. He is a cardiologist and the creator of this diet, which has become famous all over the world. Millions of women and men have tried it in America, Canada and Europe. Some have described it as a very easy diet with guaranteed results. Therefore, the Scarsdale diet has been placed on the menus of many restaurants in American and Canadian cities. One of the excellent restaurants even put the Scarsdale diet menu and said in it, “If you follow this diet, you may find what you want, and if you haven’t followed it yet, you will follow it.” The Scar Sedail diet is a delicious and easy diet that is easy to follow in restaurants, hotels and while traveling, in addition to being easy to prepare at home. It is considered one of the diets with high protein, medium carbohydrates and very low fat.

The composition of the Scar Sedail diet:

The Scar Sedail diet consists of:
- (43) percent proteins
- (34) percent carbohydrates.
- (23) percent fat.

The total daily calories, or thermal units, is about (1000) thermal units per day.

The foods prohibited in the Scar Sedail diet are:

Sugar - Cream - Whole milk - Ice cream - Sweets - Jams - Biscuits and chocolate - Potatoes - Rice - Pasta and all pastries - Sausages and salami and all fatty meats - Mayonnaise or fatty sauce - Butter, ghee, oil, nuts and alcoholic beverages.

Allowed foods:

All types of meat that are low in fat and grease as well - meat of all types of birds without eating their skin, all types of fish, boiled eggs, low-fat cheeses, vegetables and fruits except bananas, bran bread, all types of salads without using oil or mayonnaise in them, all types of tea and coffee, and all types of drinks designated for a diet free of sugar.
The secret of the Scar Sedail diet is the complex metabolism and absorption process, as what the Scar Sedail diet does is that it remixes all types of food that a person eats, helping to burn more and faster fatty substances such as all types of fats, oils and ghee, thus the body gets rid of about half a kilogram of excess weight per day.

In short, when we eat sugary or starchy substances (carbohydrates), and therefore when the body does not get the quick energy from carbohydrates, i.e. sugary and starchy substances, the body resorts to a complex mechanism through which it carries out a biochemical metabolic process in which it produces certain hormones that convert fat and lipid reserves into glycogen, which provides the body with energy, especially since the protein and fatty substances that the body obtains do not provide it with the quick energy it needs to perform its functions as carbohydrates, i.e. sugary and starchy substances, provide it.

The process of burning body fat when it is converted into glycogen in turn throws out a type of burnt waste called ketones and leaves the body through urine. The occurrence of the process of burning fat in the body can be confirmed by examining the blood and urine and knowing the percentage of ketones dissolved in them and thus knowing the amount of fat burned in the body daily. This is what happens in all diets with high proteins and very low carbohydrates. That is, if the body produces a large amount of ketones, this means that the body is burning fatty substances faster than the normal speed. This is scientifically called rapid metabolism or rapid fat burning. This is what is required in this diet, because in this case the body burns its excess unwanted fat stores and thus loses part of its weight.
