Beverly Hills DietThe Beverly Hills diet is a food combining diet that relies heavily on fruits. According to the diet, papaya softens body fat, pineapple burns it off and watermelon flushes it out of the body.Judy Mazel, actress and founder of the diet plan, promises not only that you'll lose weight, but that you'll be "skinny." The problem is she chooses a slightly different way of combining foods - there are days where all you can eat are grapes; on other days you can only have melon. Diet Rules
The diet recommends eating fruit by itself and never eating protein with carbohydrates in order for food to be properly digested and not stored as body fat.Begins with a 35-day plan that gives specific items to be eaten at each meal, without counting calories or grams of fat.
3 Day Food Plan
The foods below are listed in a very specific order. This order lists them in the sequence in which they are to be eaten. Don't switch them around or skip any. If a specific amount is listed, you must eat that amount.
Remember, this is not a three-meal-a-day plan. You aren't confined to breakfast, lunch and dinner. You may stop and start as you wish, but do not go on to the next food listed until you have finished the required amount of the first. You are going to lose weight by feeding your body, not by starving it. If a food is listed and an amount is not shown, then you can eat as much of that food as you want. There are no restrictions. With fruit, in particular, the more you eat the more you'll lose. DAY 1

Overall
The New Beverly Hills diet is a very unbalanced way of eating. It is very low in vital nutrients and the Journal of the American Medical Association deemed it "the worst entry in the diet-fad derby". It may also cause diarrhea and because it's low in protein, it promotes breakdown of muscles and vital organ tissue if followed for longer than 10 days.
