Beverely Hills Diet Plan

California has always been at the forefront of new diets and one of the oldest diets to come from that State is the Beverly Hills Diet.

The diet is based on the idea that if you eat the right foods at the right time of the day, then you can lose weight. The diet plan extends for 6 weeks and the author claim that the diet is well balanced and nutritionally adequate. The authors of this diet claim that the reason we gain weight is because of two things- we eat at the wrong time and also eat the wrong foods. So the Beverly Hills Diet says -eat at a different time and eat what the diet says.

The Beverly Hills Diet says proteins go with proteins or fats, carbohydrates go with carbohydrates or fat and fruits go alone (what the authors fail to explain to a dumbo like me, is what are fruits? (Sounds confusing already?)

Ok so this is how you start.

For breakfast, eat a fruit and eat as much as you want. For the next hour, you cannot switch to another food. Then you follow the above regimen. However, if you eat a carbohydrate later in the day, then you cannot eat fruit for the rest of the day.

If you start the morning with a carbohydrate, then stay with carbohydrates, but you can change to proteins after 1 hour and then it is all protein for the rest of the day.

One is allowed to drink fruit juices and even wine is allowed. In addition, there is even more good news; alcohol can be consumed with carbohydrates and for those who have money, Champagne is allowed with all foods. The diet plan does give recipes that average about 1000-1200 calories/day.

And does one have to exercise with this diet. No, not compulsory. But if you have time, a treadmill, and feel like it, the choice is yours – so far all looks great.

So if you stick to this diet plan for 6 weeks, you can lose 10-15 pounds.
