Beverely Hills Diet Plan Part 2

How all this works is not easy to understand but the author does provide an explanation about rates of metabolism and absorption- all that boring stuff which nutritionists love to talk about.

So what do the food experts have to say about the Beverly Hills diet?

Well, none of the experts believes the hogwash about this bizarre food combination theory. They claim there is no evidence that if you eat one particular food type that you cannot get fat and all this hodge podge about food combinations has zero relevance to weight loss. They do however; agree that the diet is positive since it recommends fruits and vegetables. However, they do add the diet is positively unhealthy.

One would think that a diet with a famous name like Beverly Hills diet would be a hit. But unfortunately, there are very few testimonials which are positive. Most testimonials use words like crap, useless and s..t. What they really meant was the diet was not practical or sustainable for more than 3 days. Following this complex routine requires having to carry a small computer and writing down everything one has eaten. Imagine someone going to work and having to remember what he or she ate in the morning. While most people know what a fruit is, very few people can tell the difference between a carbohydrate and a protein!

The author has to be credited for popularizing Beverly Hills, where all the beautiful people live, but the diet actually sucks. As David Grotto, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association sums it, "like Alexander The Great's nothing but alcohol diet. Nutritionally incomplete and not practical”

So how about us who still want to lose weight? In reality, most diets books are written simply to make money. Who really cares if the diet plan works or not. There are a lot of gullible people out there with delusions of grandeur.

In reality, losing weight is hard and no one really has an answer. There is no one-diet plan for all individuals. The only one fact that we do know is that if you eat less and walk more, you will lose weight. Unfortunately, most people do not want to adopt this life style and would rather buy a pill or read a book on how to lose weight the easy way. For these people, just like cyberspace, the ideal diet for weight loss is an illusion.
