Have you heard of the Beverly Hills Diet? Yeah, me neither, but it's popular enough to warrant and upgrade, so Ta-Da ... The NEW Beverly Hills Diet has been unveiled. While one might assume that the traditional Beverly Hills Diet would consist of starving yourself after shamefully gorging on a salad without dressing, it's actually a somewhat sensible--albeit slight fad-ish--diet that focuses on food combinations. Here's how it works:
  • Eat fruit for breakfast -- you can have an much as you want, but you must eat it by itself and you can only pick one fruit
  • The next thing you eat can be a carb of your choice, which you can enjoy as much as you want of
  • As soon as you eat a protein, the rest of your day must be 80% protein.
  • You can combine proteins and carbs at one meal a day.
  • You can have fats with either carbs or proteins
It sounds kind of like the Suzanne Somers Diet, except ... more confusing. Apparently you can lose up 10-15 lbs in the 35-day initiation phase, if you can keep all the rules straight, that is. To find out more about the diet, check out this article from WebMD.
