Is it simple to follow the
diet?
The diet Plan was too simple and seems like losing
weight would not be a problem at all. The whole plan was based on
eating fruits and nuts. The diet focuses on eating a single type of
food for a whole day. One day you eat nothing but grapes, the next day
just melons. According to this diet plan dieter has to prevent mixing
of substances from different groups to prevent non desired chemical
reactions taking place in our body. Unfortunately, this concept
hasn’t been scientifically proven.
Who
is the author of the diet?
The diet was introduced at first by its author,
actress Judy Mazel, in 1981. She claims that specific fruits act on the
digestive system in its specific manner: Papaya is softening fat,
Pineapple is burning it and the watermelon is flushing it out of the
body.
Isit really working?
There is some misunderstanding of biochemistry in
this plan. Grapefruit can assist in sugar absorption but it
can’t burn fat. Fat can be burn only by effort –
workout or exercise.
How
much can I lose with this diet?
According to this plan losing of 10-15 pounds is
achievable in 35 days. Eating
different types of food together is one of the causes behind the weight
loss. In addition the problem with this diet is that the eating plan is
really boring.
What
are a stages of
the diet?
The diet is divided to 3 stages:
-
First stage – first 10 days dieter eats
only fruits
-
Second stage – 11-19 day only
carbohydrates are allowed
-
Third stage – day 20 dieter is going to
have a protein
Has the diet the drowbacks, side effects?
This plan is more like a fast, short term weight
loss diet, instead of a long-term eating plan and is not recommended to
continue more than one month. Fruits alone cannot supply the body with
all the minerals and vitamins it needs every day.
The lack of food protein sources and fast weight
loss, might cause the body irreversible damages and remain exposed to
malnutrition and diseases. The muscle mass and water level might
decrease and instead of eliminating excessive fat it will stay
untouched in it’s place. In case of gaining back the weight,
muscle mass will simply be replaced by fat again. For the long term it
will be harmful for the body.
Is
it recommended diet plan?
To summarize this diet, as it was in its original
form, it was not a good one.
During this diet the body constantly will be in
lack of essential minerals and vitamins, lots of fruits will cause to
diarrhea, and there is a risk of water and muscle weight lose too,
which is definitely not a safe and healthy way to lose weight.
What
does expert say?
Experts and doctors have warned dieters about the
danger in non balanced diet and after some time and workup authors
published more updated and balanced version of Beverly
hills diet.

Hills diet is more balanced,
