Beverly Hills Diet

From the star-studded hills located near Hollywood, comes a diet rich in fruit but lacking good ideas about weight loss. Really, if weight loss was so simple, there would be no problem for anybody to drop as many pounds as they wanted to, just by eating fruit. Nevertheless, a fruit-based diet sounds good to some people, while others may find it not as desirable.

The diet itself is very simple. It claims that papaya softens the fat, pineapple burns it off and watermelon washes it out of the body. Unfortunately, this concept hasn’t been proved yet in a scientifically sound manner. While grapefruit has a positive effect on the sugar absorption system, it doesn’t burn fat outright. The only thing that burns fat is physical movement and an increase of the metabolism. Another thing to help burn fat is the product called Proactol which is even doctor proven!

According to actress Judy Mazel, the founder of the Beverly Hills Diet, people can lose 10 to 15 pounds in 35 days. Since the founder claims that eating different types of food together is one of the main causes behind rapid weight loss, the diet focuses on eating a single type of food for a whole day. One day you eat nothing but grapes, while the next day it’s just melons for you.

The problem with this diet is that the eating plan is really boring. This is more of a quick fix type of diet instead of a long-term eating plan and should not be pursued longer than one month (or the suggested 35 days). Fruits alone cannot provide your body with all the minerals and vitamins it needs every day to stay healthy and nourished.

By restricting your food to only fruit, will leave you exposed to malnutrition and diseases/illnesses. The rapid loss of weight usually means that some of that weight
will be muscle mass and water, which means that some of the fat will stay in place while your losing muscle (which actually burns fat). It also means that if you start gaining back weight, you will simply be replacing muscle mass with fat. In the long run, this will do you a lot more harm than good.

If you plan on trying this diet, I hope you can get used to having diarrhea! Eating nothing but fruit will keep you in a near constant state of diarrhea. All in all, this is not a good diet, nor is it a sensible one. Losing crucial vitamins, minerals, water and muscle mass is definitely not a good way to lose weight.
