How does the Beverly Hills Diet work?

How does the Beverly Hills Diet work?
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

According to the Beverly Hills Diet, digestive problems come about when you trap foods that break down quickly behind foods that break down slowly. So you should always eat fruit, which your body digests easily, on its own. In general, proteins should be eaten with protein and carbohydrates with carbohydrates.

If you follow these rules, your body won't struggle to digest your food leading to weight loss.

Who is it good for?

People who hate counting calories and are sick of low-fat food. People who like fruit.

What are the drawbacks?

Some experts are very sceptical about whether food combining actually works. Judy Mazel, the diet's creator, has no training in nutrition and according to some doctors, her ideas about digestion and food combining have no basis in medical facts. All that fruit can cause diarrhoea. You're also likely to put weight back on again when you go back to eating normally.
