I have a bit of a dilemma: FH and I are both wanting to shed some pounds before the big day. 30 pounds in my case and with almost 5 months before my first fitting I see no reason why that is an impossible goal. After knocking around on the internet my FFIL's doctor recommended the Scarsdale Medical Diet for him, and although I usually go out of my way to ignore whatever health information is given to me by men who are 6'5" and way 120lbs, if you are not at a healthy weight yourself why would I listen to you. This diet does seem to be good. I am not really very good at normal dieting because if given choices on what I am going to eat I can't decide and end up just not eating anything until I am starving and then eat whatever is in my way like a carton of ice cream or a block of cheese, not good, as such I like the restrictive nature of this diet. If I know in the morning what I am having every meal of the day it is easier for me. I am a little concerned though. Any diet that specifies that it is a bad idea for you to be on it more than two weeks at a time cannot really be a good idea. Can it?
My plan is to portion and calorie control with MFP so things do not get crazy and up my exercise.
The actual question in this long ramble is: Does anyone have any experience with the Scarsdale Medical Diet, and or does this sound like a viable plan?
