I ordered a used book and never received it or the replacement that was promised. Now I shop at Borders!

This somewhat forgotten diet is a great way to jump start your changes in the way you eat.
I loved it even though it seemed restrictive the first few days. It helped me to eat fresh foods and to be more disciplined. I would recommend this diet for everyone.

I read about this diet on low carb friends after a few posters had phenomenal success on it, losing 40-50 pounds in 1-2 months and loving the food. I found the diet on the internet and followed it for about a week and a half. I lost 13 pounds. Unfortunately, I had a persistent cocktail habit that derailed me.

I kept going back to Atkins over and over, but it stopped working for me. Why? Too many calories! Too much freedom to eat too much food.

The truth is, you've got to get your body used to eating less. You have to just gut it out, do it strictly without "treats" and lowcarb cocktails and lowfat iced cream, and get back to basics: mostly lean meats, tons of fruits and veggies.

With an ingenious diet, Tarnower accomplishes just that by retraining the mind and body to eat less, eat lighter, and love it. Yeah, its painful at first! You're hungry! But once you start fat-burning, it feels great. I'm going into it with the attitude that I'm basically in boot camp. :)

I read in the internet about this diet and bought the book. Its amazing how good this diet is considering the fact that was written 30 years ago. One thing for anyone who uses this diet. Do not cheat, after all you are cheating only yourself. If you don't cheat the diet works as promised.
Highly recommended book. For me SMD works great.

I have been using The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet since it was first published, and have gone through two books. It is a diet that WORKS! Easy to follow, various options and not boring. I have gifted a number of people with the diet book and all have had impressive weight loss. I am over joyed that The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet is still available! Marilyn Woods
