Scarsdale Diet Breakfast

Scarsdale Diet And Safety Concerns

Breakfast is, perhaps, the most unexciting aspect of the Scarsdale Diet, compelling you to eat exactly the same fare day in and day out. As such, you may want to make sure you can manage consuming a single type of meal as your first nourishment of the day for the duration of your time under the program.

If you aren't familiar with the breakfast routine on the Scarsdale Diet, it's always:

* one half of a grapefruit
* a slice of protein bread
* coffee or tea (no milk and no sugar but you can drink as much as you want)

Since the Scarsdale Diet is intended to be easy to follow, provisions are very specific with little room to innovate without potentially affecting the rest of the program. With strict calorie requirements and a very specific nutrient ratio, it's always best to just tough it out the remainder of the two weeks than to try being creative and put the diet's effectiveness at risk.

Light morning eaters who do the Scarsdale Diet are allowed to skip a part of the breakfast (like eating only the grapefruit or the bread). They can then add the untouched food to later meals, where the same food type is allowed. For instance, you can forego the protein bread for your morning meal but add it to your lunch (which also includes it in the plan) and have two bread servings instead of just one. You can even make a sandwich of it, if you're so inclined. It's a good way to add some variation to your diet, without causing any detrimental effect on your results.
