To many, this plan can seem a bit boring as it so limits your choices for dining. However, when you use your options creatively you will find that you can actually really enjoy eating while losing weight at the same time. The following will provide you with a few ideas for Scarsdale Diet recipes that you can use to liven up your meal plan.
First of all, this is a plan that must be followed for a two week period, and there are certain requirements for what you can eat during each day it is followed. For example, the first day you are recommended to eat the following:
A grapefruit for breakfast Cold cuts and tomatoes for lunch As much broiled fish for dinner as you would like
For day two:
Grapefruit and a slice of bread Fruit salad and coffee Lean broiled hamburger, tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, or brussels sprouts.
At the end of the first week, the second week will be identical to the first. After this two week period has been concluded, there is an additional two weeks where you are given a greater list of foods you may eat. Scarsdale Diet recipes can definitely help to keep you excited about this diet which will improve your results.
There are some important rules that you must follow in order to stay within the confines of this diet. First of all, eat only what is assigned for each day. Next, be sure not to consume any alcoholic beverages. If you must have an in between meal snack, you may only eat carrots or celery, but you may eat as much as you like. It is also important to note what beverages are allowed while on this diet plan. These include coffee, tea, club soda, diet sodas, and water. Only artificial sweeteners, and lemon, are allowed.
One of the most popular Scarsdale Diet recipes you have to choose from is the Zesty Hamburger. For this recipe you will need:
One pound of lean ground beef One tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce One teaspoon of Ground pepper One teaspoon of Garlic powder A finely chopped onion
Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl and form about four equally proportioned patties. These may be broiled for about fifteen minutes.
For more information on Scarsdale Diet recipes there are some excellent books and eBooks that have been written on the subject, including the original book, The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet written by Dr. Herman Tarnower.
For people who have decided to live healthier lives and lose weight, the Scarsdale diet is a great choice of meal plan to follow. It has all the ingredients of a successful weight loss and health plan that millions of people worldwide have seen good results following the implementation of this program.
As you begin in your commitment to the Scarsdale Diet program, you will need to find a way to make some of the foods on your own. A common denominator of all the meal plans is the popular Scarsdale Diet protein bread. This is foundational in following the diet regimen.
If you want to continue on with the program but don’t have the budget to always buy this protein bread from the local gourmet store, then take a look at this recipe and make this stuff in your own home.
One-fourth cup of gluten flour (this is a healthier alternative to your usual flour)
Directions:
Put one tablespoon of dry yeast into a bowl with a cup of warm water in it. Let the mixture stand and wait for about five minutes until the yeast will dissolve. Once dissolved you may now add sugar, salt and apple cider vinegar and mix it well.
Sift the gluten and soy flours together on a separate bowl. Little by little, pour in the yeast mixture onto this bowl.
Add the sifted whole wheat flour into the mixture. Fold it in until you see the dough is formed. Make sure that bits and pieces do not stick to the side of the bowl. Using a food processor or a mixer with dough hooks will help you in properly mixing the ingredients.
Sprinkle some flour onto the board or kitchen counter. Scoop half a handful of dough and place this on the board or counter. Knead the dough for about five minutes and make sure it is elastic and smooth.
Spray some non-stick spray onto the bread pan and put the small pieces of kneaded dough on top of it. Leave some space for the dough to expand. Cover this with a moderately dampened towel and set this aside. Wait for the yeast to rise.
While waiting, you can preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Bake the bread for about one hour or wait till the bread is light golden brown.
Once baked, cut into thin slices and keep the remaining bread inside your refrigerator.
