 This Diet is a MUST if You're Serious About Losing Weight! December 24, 2004

I can't believe I actually found a diet plan that works for me. I have just recently given birth to my sixth child and this book was a God send for me. Not only did I lose all pregnancy weight, but I lost the 20 pounds I've always wanted to shed. The first three days are a bit difficult if you're not use to eating fruit. If you can make it to the fourth day; your in and you can kiss those pounds away. Maintaining the weight loss is also easy to do once you understand Judy Mazel's theory of combining foods. This book is not about what NOT to eat but WHEN to eat certain types of food and what you eat to counteract over indulging. Dieting has never been more fun!!
After eliminating my coffee habit with the help of a wonderful coffee substitute made from soya beans called "Soyffee", I'm feeling so much better. My doctor recommended it to help lower my cholesterol and promote strong bones. It's available online at www.S o y c o f f e e.com to find it.
I've read all the neg reviews & I'm sorry, BHD still rules! August 23, 2004

First, let me get all of MY negative thoughts on the diet out of the way: it's expensive... dried apricots withOUT sulfur dioxide is pricey, and unless you live in a tropical area, the amazing enzyme-packed fruits you need to consume can slim down your wallet too. Next, it sort of gives you permission to indulge, and to me, that mindset can be dangerous, but maybe that's just a result of having strict parents & living in a puritanical society... I usually felt very guilty during the diet! :) Now to address the naysayers, you did truly not read the overall intent of Ms. Mazel. You probably have a difficult time with seeing the big picture in a lot of instances, don't you? Judy's concepts make ALOT of sense. She's practical, truthful, and it's a pity she caved and gave in to producing that Part II 'updated' version of the diet to make some people happy. She doesn't promote exercise, but she doesn't need to~ she's blessed in that department apparently. Maybe YOU do... I know *I* do... OK, so you get a little bit of the runs after the first week? if it comes to that? why not! your body is ridding itself of toxins my dear... the cleansing step is working. Your skin especially will thank you.
Also I love the fact that the Beverly Hills Diet promotes carbs, and there's NOT a lack of protein... the concept is called conscious combining Carbohydrates fuel your body! No substitutes, and like she says, you've got to approach it logically~ a Krispy Kreme donut is obviously a carb, and certainly you can have it when it's time, but where are the nutritional values? the concept of conscious combining is exactly what the body needs. Frankly, I'm just waiting for the Atkins ball to drop. There's going to be mass liver & kidney failure the likes of which we've never seen before all over the place, and soon. How can your body process so much protein~ all the time?! oh weeee'll seeeee... if Judy's smart she will capitalize on this sad yet brilliant opportunity to push BHD again!
A Horrible Diet December 22, 2003

The author's dietary plan begins with going several days eating nothing but fruit. Apparently, the idea is to lose weight by inducing a severe case of diarrhea. Another brilliant idea of hers is to avoid exercise; wouldn't want to put a few pounds of muscle on that ghastly figure. The author looks like a victim of her own bad ideas. Judy Mazel is obviously an idiot, but shame on the irresponsible publisher who dumped this garbage on a gullible public. There are a lot of very bad diet books around. This one may be the worst.
 Try it! It could work miracles for you. November 28, 2001

This book (and Judy's system) have gotten a lot of slams, for what I think is no good reason. Most people who slam it don't seem to really understand the theory she is proposing. It doesn't make you protein-deficient. And the all-fruit days are only at the beginning. (We have way too much protein in our diets anyway, thanks to the meat and dairy associations.) She is frequently misquoted and maligned because she is not a scientist. I have used this diet and, when it is followed, it works miracles. It isn't for eveyone, especially people with sensitive stomaches. But if you can tolerate high-acid fruits, like pineapple, it is a godsend! (And pineapple is very good for you, by the way, dieting or not.) Of course there are days when you're not crazy about what you're eating! It's a diet, guys! But the fact that you can usually eat however much you want to is a great savior, I think. Also, the way you lose a lot of weight at the beginning is a great motivator. It's basically really healthy. Of course, it's hard to keep up the system after you've lost the weight--this is a challenge with any diet. This one really works if you follow the guidelines.
