Concept good, but too regimented. Rather Somersize., 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Beverly Hills Diet: A 365-day Program for Lifelong Slimhood (Paperback)
Two thirds of the way through grape day I broke down and had a tuna sandwich. The 3 pounds in water that I had lost came right back the next morning. I read an article in a health magazine about Susanne Sommer's books and the concept was very similar to this one, so I decided to buy her books and found her diet much more liveable. I know someone that has lost 15 lbs on the Beverly Hills diet after 3 weeks and likes that it's regimented. If you get bored easily of not having enough variety, then you should probably buy the Sommer's book instead.

I lost 12 lbs. in three weeks using this diet., 29 May 1999

I recommend this book to anyone who has tried and failed many times at losing weight. If you are an overeater and a lover of food, this book will help you learn to eat what you want, be full, and lose weight. You no longer have to weigh food or count calories.
I lost twelve pounds in what seemed like no time at all. I found this diet to be tremendously helpful in losing weight. I was afraid I would put the weight back on, but it's been two months now and I'm doing fine. I'm going back on the strict weight loss diet to lose even more weight.
The fruit for breakfast really does work, and I've been eating everything I want. On days when I overindulge, I just follow the antedote regimen explained in the book, and I am able to maintain my weight.
Foods I eat regularly include: bread, pasta, veggies, legumes and soy for protein, and sweets. Note: I am vegetarian. I could eat animal protein if I wanted to, as long as I combine it properly.

Losing Weight and my Health, 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Beverly Hills Diet: A 365-day Program for Lifelong Slimhood (Paperback)
I must commend Judy Mazel on writing a very easy to understand diet book as compared to others I have read ( "The Zone" e.g.). However, I am not so sure how well her diet would hold up with health professionals. Her diet does not provide for the kind of nutrients the human body needs just to get throught a day. After having read the book and tried the diet I have lost weight. I have also lost my energy level. I often feel sluggish and confused. I believe it is not practical or safe for the average person. It provides a nice guideline to dieting, but to follow it to the letter, as she recommends, is not going to make for a happy, healthy person, no matter what your weight is.
