New Beverly Hills Diet Review
The diet I found the most interesting is The Beverly Hills Diet. The BH Diet focuses on conscious combining, a food combining philosophy that states that maintaining or losing weight is controlled by the times you eat and your food combinations. Judy Mazel created The BH Diet, an update to her 1980s plan. She suggests that when some foods are eaten together it leads to poor digestion and in turn obesity.
The newer BH Diet is a 35-day program, in which you'll learn to eat carbs only with carbs, proteins only with proteins and fruits by themselves. The eating plan begins with an induction period during which you may go whole days eating only fruit. If your meal plan includes a carbohydrate, you will be done with fruit for that day. You can then eat carbohydrates as much as you want, but once you have protein, all your remaining meals for that day must be 80 percent protein. This is because, Mazel claims, your body uses specific enzymes to digest carbs, proteins and fruit and when you mix these foods, your body has a difficult time breaking down food. Mazel also suggests that fat is merely a symptom of digestion and when your body is digesting properly, you will see a reduction in body fat. Some of the Beverly Hills Diet rules are: Start your day with a piece of fruit, but only one each hour. Consume steak, shrimp, salad, baked potatoes, corn and wine during the first 10 days.
There are some very good aspects to this diet like there is no calorie restriction, you can eat a wide variety of foods, you can eat as much as you like, and you optimize digestion. Some down falls are food combining can be restrictive and difficult to manage, the creator of the diet is not a nutrition professional, there is no maintenance plan, it does not teach about portions, if you lose any weight while on it it’s from eating fewer calories not from the food combining, This diet requires you to eat in a way that is too different from your normal eating pattern and it does not provide

    "Sweet and Low" is the story of those ubiquitous little pink packets of sugar substitute that you see in restaurants and diners and coffee shops — the story of the role saccharine played in the diet revolution that began sweeping America in the 1950's and the story of the artificial sweetener wars that raged in the 80's and 90's. The story is about the family that invented first the sugar packet and then Sweet'N Low, capitalizing on Americans' diet madness to build a company that by 1996 was producing 50 million packets of artificial sweetener a day at a factory in Brooklyn. In this book, the author (Richard Cohen) plays multiple roles of narrator, stage manager and chorus. The rest of the characters in the book are Benjamin Eisenstadts: the eldest in the family, whose inventiveness and drive made the family's millions, but who basically "wanted a simple life", "A piece of grapefruit. Something sweet in his tea." Ben's wife, Betty, "the power behind the throne," a woman who wanted "a pile of money to protect her from shame and disaster," a woman who believed that "love is finite" and must be allocated among family members, with some getting more than others.

    Switching to good fats protect the heart and prevent hunger. The South Beach Diet doesn’t count grams of carbs, but looks at how much sugar is in a carb. Low-sugar carbs, those with a low glycemic index are good. There are three different phases in the South Beach Diet. All three phases includes specific allowable foods, meal plans, and recipes. Phase one takes about two weeks and the strictest of the three. This is the phase when you will have to limit the most carbs from the daily diet including fruits, bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar, alcohol and baked goods.

    The diet I chose to look at was the 4 Hour Body Diet by Timothy Ferriss. Ferriss is also the author of the #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The 4-Hour Workweek. More recently, he wrote the upcoming release of The 4 Hour Chef that is being banned from bookstores nationwide. I stumbled upon this book one day when I was browsing the internet for new and interesting ways to lose weight and Ferriss’s book caught my eye. Just reading the first page enticed me to read more. The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman, I thought to myself this has to be the biggest joke ever. I picked up the book and just reading the first page made me laugh “how to lose 20 pounds in 30 days (without exercise) on the uber simple Slow- Carb diet. At this point I just had to buy the book to see what crazy fad diet had just befallen me. when I got home the first page alone was disturbing Tim was describing how he just consumed almost two full-size barbecue chicken pizzas and three handfuls of mixed nuts, for a cumulative total of about 4,400 calories. That was only his fourth meal of the day breakfast having consisted of two glasses of grapefruit juice, a large cup of coffee with cinnamon, two chocolate croissants, and two bear claws. only 72 hours later testing his progress with an ultrasound analyzer his body fat had dropped from 11.9% to 10.2% in only 14 days. So what is Tim’s secret, he claims it is his little rules…

There are many different kinds of fed diets out there today, some of them make sense and others not so much.

You cannot eat other foods like beans, peanuts, green beans, lentils, etc., and grains are not included as well. All the food in the paleo diet is nutrient dense and fewer calories than the food that you cannot eat on the paleo diet. that is what prevent the excessive…
