Summary

Rachael tried it. Your Mom tried it. If you we're trying to shred some LBs in the 80's you probably tried it - The Scarsdale Diet.

And in 1980, the headmistress of The Madeira School for girls in Virginia, Jean Harris, made national news when she was tried and convicted of the murder of her ex-lover, Dr. Herman Tarnower, a well-known cardiologist and author of the best-selling book The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet.
