What can you eat on the Beverly Hills Diet?
The original Beverly Hills Diet told you to eat just fruit for 10 whole days but an updated version, the New Beverly Hills Diet, allows you to eat more different kinds of food.
You start the day off with fruit, as much as you like but only one type, just strawberries for example. Certain fruits are supposed to do different things to help you lose weight although this has never been proven. For example, the Beverly Hills Diet claims papaya softens fat, pineapple burns it off and watermelon washes it out of your body. After having fruit, you should wait two hours before eating food from another group. Once you've eaten something other than fruit, you don't eat fruit again for the rest of the day.
If the next thing you eat is a carbohydrate, you can eat unlimited carbs until you eat some protein. Then once you've had some protein (even if it's just milk in your tea), 80 per cent of your food intake for the rest of the day should be protein.
Caffeine is banned and what alcohol you can drink depends on what 'stage' of the day you're at. For example, beer is considered a carbohydrate while wine is considered to be suitable only during your fruit stage.
Most foods as long as they're in the right order and combination.
Typical day's diet
Breakfast: As much pineapple as you want.
Lunch: Baked potato.
Dinner: Steak.
Top tip
According to Judy Mazel, champagne is neutral so you can drink as much of it as you want at any time of the day!

I think a meal plan would be a good idea not every one can afford to buy diet books especially if your not sure it will work
