The Beverly Hills Diet

a weight loss regimen developed by author Judy Mazel (1943-2007) in her 1981 bestseller, “The Beverly Hills Diet”. The six-week long program, which begins with 10 days of eating fruit exclusively, has been the target of criticism from the medical community. Mazel had tried and failed to lose weight with existing programs, and developed the diet plan after spending six months working together with a nutritionist in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Under her program, she was able to trim down to from a weight of 180 pounds to 108 pounds, having struggled with her weight since childhood. After completing development fo the program and returning to Los Angeles, she opened a weight-loss clinic whose clients included a number of celebrities. The Beverly Hills Diet is predicated on the enzymatic actions of foods in the digestive process, and controlled weight by controlling when foods were eaten and in what combinations. The plan begins with the consumption of a series of specified fruits in a designated order for the initial ten days of the program. On Days 11 to 18, the dieter can add bread, two tablespoons of butter and three cobs of corn. Sources of complete protein, such as steak or lobster, cannot be consumed until Day 19 of the plan. The book, published by Macmillan Publishing spent 30 weeks on “The New York Times” bestseller list, and sold more than one million copies. The book featured endorsements from Linda Gray, Engelbert Humperdink, Sally Kellerman and Mary Ann Mobley. I was fortunate enough to meet and work with Miss Judy before her passing, and this program, as well as her follow-up book, “The New Beverly Hills Diet”, has been my salvation when my weight has risen through the years. I have found this to be the most healthy and inclusive eating plan that I have been to adhere to consistently throughout the years. I highly recommend this plan to anyone who struggles with weight issues or simply wants a cleaner, healthier eating plan. 03-26-10 I want to make these posts more personal. Because my personal experience with this food plan is why I selected it as an inspiration. I am currently maintaining my weight loss of over 240 lbs last May, to my current weight in the 160s. My “goal weight”, as given to me by Judy herself, is 159. I will allow 5 lbs above & 5 lbs below, this will be my window of acceptance, but nothing outside of that ten pound window, and I have the tools to accomplish this without too much strain. A Delicious Lifestyle!!
