Beverly Hills Diet Review

What You Should Know

The Beverly Hills Diet is actually the “new” BH Diet. It is an update to the “old” BH Diet from the original 1980s diet’s creator, actress Judy Mazel. This is a 35-day rapid weight loss plan that works on the following Mazel premise: some foods which are actually good for you don’t mix well; they stymie digestion, and this causes you to put on weight. If these foods are eaten separately rather than in combo, you can still eat them and you will lose weight. Furthermore, many people are eating at the wrong times throughout the day; change the times when you eat and what you eat when, and otherwise effortless weight loss is yours.

List of Ingredients

No specific ingredients go into this diet. You are pretty much going to eat whatever you want; just at different times and in different combos.

Product Features

The Beverly Hills Diet centers around Mazel’s “Conscious Combining”:

Only eat carbs with carbs.

Only eat proteins with proteins.

Eat fruits in isolation from all other foods.

Mazel’s philosophy is that the body uses different enzymes to digest carbs, protein, and fruits. To maximize digestive efficiency, which is the core concept of the New Beverly Hills Diet, you should not make your body try to digest with these different enzymes at the same time.

Fat is just the side effect of poor digestion, not the food choices you make.

Pro’s

Have all the total calories you want.
No need for any significant lifestyle or food choice changes.

Con’s

Conscious Combining is not nearly as easy as it may sound at first, and it can become irritating–such as the rule “eat fruit, but only one piece per hour”.
There is really no clinical research backing up Mazel’s philosophy.
It is well known that the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. The Beverly Hills Diet does nothing at all to address this.
The success rate of celebrity diets is pitiful.
Food choices and portion sizes are not addressed.
The need for exercise is not addressed.

Conclusion

The new Beverly Hills Diet seems to be new wine poured into old wineskins. It comes off as just one more celebrity who, being blessed with a high metabolism, projects her own individual dietary needs onto everybody else with a one-size-fits-all book–and that’s pretty much all that the BH Diet is. Mazel doesn’t do anything to address the need for physical exercise as weight loss tool, yet give that she is an actress we can rest assured that she has benefited from personal fitness coaches and trainers. The “rules” of this diet get silly after a while. Another fad diet that won’t work for most people and will, like its predecessor, fade away while most people who try it remain fat.
