Creator of The Beverly Hills Diet, Judy Mazel, originally published her weight loss book in 1981. Recently, the diet book has been re-released under the title The New Beverly Hills Diet. This diet aims to promote weight loss by altering the enzymes consumed in one’s diet.
How does it Work?
Mazel asserts that the body needs enzymes found in specific foods in order to digest items properly. According to Mazel’s book, when food is not digested properly, the body turns un-properly digested foods into stored fat. To promote proper digestion, the Beverly Hills Diet focuses on a core principal of combining appropriate foods, known as “conscious-combining.”
What Can I Eat on the Beverly Hills Diet?
The main food group in this diet is fruit, and the diet rotates so that consumers have “fruit only” days, followed by “vegetable only” days, and so forth. During the first ten days of the diet, consumers will mostly consume fruit, and may not consume any meat until around the 19th day of the diet. On an average day, a dieter on The Beverly Hills plan should expect to consume only 800 calories.
Sample Menu from the Beverly Hills Diet:
- Breakfast
- A small serving of prunes or fruit
- Lunch
- A second serving of fruit, such as strawberries
- Dinner
- A baked potato or another similar vegetable
- Fluids
- Individuals can consume water, coffee, and/or tea
Potential Problems with the Beverly Hills Diet

- Many of the meal options are low in protein
- The theory of enzymes is unproven

- The program meets the United States Senate Committee’s recommendations for a balanced weekly diet
- The new diet also allow consumers to eat from all food groups, including animal meats / proteins
What Can I Eat on the New Beverly Hills Diet?

- Baked potato with butter

Included in The New Beverly Hills Diet book are 21 different meal options, so many find the newer version to be easier to follow and more sustainable, as more foods are permitted for consumption.
