This volume brings together nineteen Caribbean specialists in a general introduction to the indigenous people of that region.

Format:Paperback
This book has it all. It guides you through two weeks worth of good easy eating, and then helps you stay on the straight and narrow. As I already have said I've lost two stone and feel great. Would recommend this book to anyone who like me has tried them all. ***** 5 stars!

This is the first reducing diet that I have followed properly, on the recommendation of a friend who told me I would lose 7lbs in one week.
I only had 10lbs or so to lose and had made sporadic dieting attempts before to no avail and was about to go on holiday so gave it a shot as a last ditch attempt to improve my appearance.
It worked! I lost weight (7lbs) quickly in the first week and although this slowed down in the second week (3lbs) I was delighted, if somewhat mystified, by my success!
This diet really does work if you follow it to the letter and don't cheat - it was unbelievable every day when I stood on the scales - without fail I weighed a pound less each day in the first week. I have now also done the diet a second time to lose a few extra pounds that have crept back (unfortunately I do love good food and wine!) and it has been as successful as the first time.
Try it! You'll be amazed at the results. And I think it's a much healthier diet than the Atkins one, especially if you're worried about your cholesterol level.

I have personally utilized the Scarsdale diet and found it to not only cause substantial weight loss but I felt increased energy and control over my physical condition. I have had many friends and family follow the plan over the past fifteen years with equal success and satisfaction. The recommended foods are abundant variety that is not boring. You are not required to weigh and measure the portions, which makes it easier to follow. And the book offers so many other menus to meet any need. I highly recommend this plan to anyone serious about losing weight.

Very disappointing!!!!!
I am very disappointed. This book was described as 'like new'. It is dirty and 'dog-eared''. Therefore I can only submit a poor review.

The Complete Scarsdale Diet
I replaced my old copy that I bought in the 1980s because of all the diets I have sampled over the years, this is the most effective and the easiest to follow.
