Beverly Hills Diet: Difference between revisions

The [[Beverly Hills Diet]] is a [[weight]] control diet developed in the 1980s by nutritionist [[Judy Mazel]]. The diet restricts the use of many common [[foods, including sugar, bread, and dairy]], on the theory that particular [[dietary]] combinations can effect [[weight loss]]. In addition to requiring the eating of certain [[fruits and vegetables]] in a precise order, the diet is divided into three phases.However, the Beverly Hills Diet has been attacked for its lack of [[scientific proof]] and its severe [[regulations]], and the [[American Dietetic Association and the American Medical Association]] have warned against it as a [[dangerous and useless]] method for long-term [[weight loss]].

 

 

*Minimize processed foods and added sugars gradually: The first step in constructing a modified Beverly Hills Diet is to reduce processed [[foods and added sugars]] gradually. This will help you acclimate to a [[diet]] with less [[calories]] and reduce the [[likelihood]] of [[adverse side effects]].

*Instead of focusing on specific [[food combinations]], emphasize consuming a range of full, [[nutrient-dense foods]], such as [[fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats]].

*The Beverly Hills Diet restricts the [[consumption of fruits and vegetables]] for the first 10 days, however it is [[crucial]] to add them gradually to your diet to minimize [[intestinal pain]]. Start by incorporating one new fruit or vegetable every day into your diet, and gradually increase the [[variety and quantity of fruits and vegetables]] you consume.

*Processed [[foods]] are heavy in [[calories]], [[added sugars, and harmful fats]], in addition to being difficult to [[digest]]. Focus instead on consuming full, [[nutrient-dense foods]] that are less prone to induce [[stomach distress]].
