Description: A food combining diet that relies heavily on fruits.
According to the diet, papaya softens body fat, pineapple burns it off and
watermelon flushes it out of the body.
Judy Mazel, actress and
founder of the diet plan, promises not only that you'll lose weight, but that
you'll be "skinny." The problem is she chooses a slightly different way of
combining foods - there are days where all you can eat are grapes; on other days
you can only have melon.
The Beverly Hills Diet claims to be
healthy. It claims to cleans you out, prevent disease, and help you lose weight
fast.
The Drawbacks for this diet is that it is monotonous and
unhealthy. Its difficult to live on one food each day. Too much fruit - not only
is this diet plan monotonous, but also it results in an inadequate intake of
protein and fat, as well as iron, zinc, vitamin B-12, calcium and essential
fatty acids. Weight loss is hard to maintain and it doesn't teach you how to eat
properly.

 The most healthy
diet and lifestyle ever!
Reviewer: Linda 06-12-2004
This
plan of food combining really works and is so much fun in the process as I have
become healthier and much more attractive after losing 10 pounds.It's also
wonderful to have found other skinnies in the chat room as their influence and
expertise along with Judy's love and care make this program effective.

 Just started the
diet
Reviewer: Diane M 03-11-2004
i have just started the
new beverly hills diet and have lost 7
pounds in 5 days. it seems too good to
be true. i have always done
high protein diets with success but have always
gained back my lost
weight because i love potatoes and pasta and i could live
on butter
which i could never really use on my high protein regimens
because
there was never anything to put it on. ok so now i have
eaten
potaotes, corn on the cob and pasta and i have gone through 2
sticks
of butter so it amazes me that i have lost. i have not read the
book,
a friend gave me the diet and the instructions how to follow it,
which
did not include any measurements just to eat until you are full

lost 18
pounds...
Reviewer: Rose K. 03-25-2004
I love it. I've
lost 18lbs
and am almost at my goal. The main important thing for me is that
I
can eat a variety of foods. I always gained weight on the
weight
watchers type of diet. They just didn't work for me even when
I
followed it exactly. As for the New beverly hills diet they have a
web
site with a skinny shop and a great chat room
at
http://www.cyberskinny.com
hope to see you there. (I am not affilitated
with this diet, just a
happy follower)

 I like Atkins Diet
better
Reviewer: Eddie 03-25-2004
I have tried this diet
and Atkins and I prefer the Atkins diet. I know friends that are on this Beverly
Hills Diet and they have all remained thin for months. Do major research before
starting any diet of this nature and make sure to follow the diet exactly how
the book instructs you to do. I found out the hard way years ago.

 Very Unhealthy,
trust me!
Reviewer: Julie 02-22-2004
If this is the same
Beverly hills diet that came out about 14
years ago, its very unhealthy!!!
While I was on that diet I got the
shakes and would pass out. If its the same
one forget it!

Old plan New
book
Reviewer: unknown 03-25-2004
This is an old plan and
I've noticed a new version in the book store lately.
I tried this plan 2
years ago and lost about 11 pounds in two weeks.
However, I almost needed to
get a bank loan to be able to afford the fruit.
Its an ok plan, but
expensive

It is a fun
diet during the summer where you can be a Fruitatarian! Our neighbors used to
call us the papaya people! My wife and I lost 80 pounds in three months between
us. She 35 me 45. It was after our first child, and we lived in Florida early
80's.

Feeling great with
energy.
Reviewer: Krista 03-24-2004
I didn't gain any
weight over
Christmas on this plan and ate very well. It makes you feel great
and
lots of energy. I eat whatever I want by planning for it and
eating
wonderful enyzmatic fruits in the morning. I have lost 20 pounds and
kept it off. It is worth every bite I put in my mouth.

This diet is not
for me.
Reviewer: Carrie 03-25-2004
I have this book
bought in a garage sale (original hard back). I can not
eat the food, due to
meds or can I afford it - the expensive fruit.

I hope this is
good...
Reviewer: Tuszak 03-25-2004
Hi, I just started it
on Monday, today is Thursday, and I have lost 6 lbs. I
bought the book and
read it, it sounds pretty easy. I hope I can stick with it
on the all fruit
days!
