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. Reviews (13):

It Works But... Reviewer: Anonymous       04-28-2007 This works very well. IT is also a pain tho, having to always have fresh fruit is a hassel.

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.

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.

I am skinny Reviewer: Terri       03-25-2004 Hi I am on the Beverly Hills Diet and have been for 7 months. I lost 20 pounds and now am maintaining successfully. They have a skinny kitchen you can order items directly from the author and an excellent chat room online with very helpful and knowlegeable folks. I am learning so much and eating a lot of great food,actually anything I want from pizza,ice cream,pasta,breads you name it and I eat 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

Fun diet for the summertime. Reviewer: Anonymous       03-25-2004 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.

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!

Beverly Hills Diet?? Reviewer: Miguel       03-25-2004 The Beverly Hills diet works as well as any of the "eat one kinda thinge" diet.

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.

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

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!
