Pros and Cons of the Scan Diet
The Scan diet was developed by a Scandinavian doctor. This diet is based on having soy-based meal replacement. The soy products are meal replacement powder that combines vital nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, protein, fiber and carbohydrate.
To have this as a meal replacement, one should mix this powder in water and have it instead of having meal. The diet is petty flexible and one can alter the intake according to one calorie needs. There are different plans under this diet based on intensity, these plans are attack plan, balanced plan, and control plan.
Under the attack plan, dieters can eat maximum of 1,200 calories in day. Under this plan a dieter is ideally recommended to have at least five powdered meals in a day. This plan works out best, owing to restricted amount of calorie intake. Under this plan is easy to shed approximately 6-8 pounds in 20-25 days.
Under balanced plan, dieters are allowed to have around 1500 calories and this plan also allows dieters to have greater amount of low calorie, low carbohydrate food. Ideally dieter under this plan is supposed to have lean meat, vegetables, fruits and pasta.
Control plan is very similar to balance plan, except the fact that under this plan dieters are allowed to have 1,800 calories in a day. This plan also allows dieters to have low calorie food such as fruits and vegetables.
This diet plan may be expensive to many people. The cost of this diet can be any where around $300 per months. Under attack plan, the cost may shoot up till $500 per month, as you will consume more powder under attack plan.
The Scan diet is quite healthy but the problem with this program is that it may not be very helpful in long term, or it may not provide us permanent weight loss. Once out of this diet and back to our normal diet, there is a possibility that the weight can bounce back. Another drawback of this diet is the cost factor, its petty costly with no great success stories.
