  The Jean Harris Case
Diet books, in her opinion were tacky and trite and "diet docs" the object of ridicule rather than respect.

  The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original low carb, high fiber weight loss plan and the predecessor of subsequent diets like the Atkins Diet, the Scarsdale Diet specifies a very specific diet which is supposed to be followed exactly.
Critics acknowledge that the diet gives quick results, but say that weight loss on the plan results simply from the reduced caloric intake; is mostly water; is quickly regained; and that the diet is so extreme as to be unhealthy, however many followers of the diet report positive results.
The diet book received an unexpected boost in sales when its author Dr. Tarnower was murdered, March 10, 1980 by his long-time lover Jean Harris, the headmistress of the Madeira Girls' School, a fashionable boarding school.

Dieting is the practice or habit of eating (and drinking) in a regulated fashion, usually with the aim of losing weight.
These restrictions, however, are not usually considered "dieting." Vegetarianism is usually not considered "dieting," as it is most often adopted for religious, spiritual or ethical reasons, or in some cases because other food choices are not available.
Most typically, "dieting" means eating in a carefully planned way in an attempt to reduce excess body fat and decrease bodily measurements, such as clothing size.

This diet is based on the idea that eating foods containing refined sugar (sucrose, maltose, dextrose and even some fructose) causes the body to produce increased amounts of the hormone insulin, which leads to increased amounts of body fat and weight.
The basis of this diet is that some of us have an addiction to carbs and this addiction causes excess insulin to be released which in turn causes overeating and weight gain.

 Dr. Atkins Diet Plan - Comments
Atkins' diet plan has been through some modifications during that time, though in essence still retains its basic premise - that carbohydrates (particularly sugars and starches) stimulate insulin production, and that insulin is a "fat hormone".
He was preceded by Dr. Herman Tarnower, whose "The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet" was popular in the 1970's after having been recommended to patients since the early 1960's.
Although Dr. Atkins Diet Plan is a genuine attempt at producing a "whole of life" weight loss / management plan and is not intended merely as a short term quick fix, he fails to adequately or seriously address psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person's life that contribute to weight gain.

 Scarsdale Diet for Weight Loss - Review
The diet plan is fairly strict, with a daily calorie intake of about 1000 kilocalories, of which protein makes up 43%, fat 22.5% and carbohydrate 34.5%.
The diet plan does not recommend exercise, particularly for those over 40; this is probably due to the extremely low level of calories taken, which provide insufficient energy.
This diet can achieve weight loss in the short term but it is not a healthy eating plan, and cannot be sustained for the long term.
