Beverly Hills diet
Beverly Hills diet
A diet of questionable efficacy, based on the premise that the body needs the enzymes found in certain foods, in particular in fruits, to digest properly; foods that aren’t digested turn to fat.The diet has been sharply criticised for its lack of adherence to sound nutritional principles; criticisms include the questionable admonition that fruits be consumed on separate days—e.g., papaya on one day, pineapple on the next, and so on; in addition to its low amount of protein (only 6% of the caloric content is protein), the Beverly Hills diet supplies no vitamin B12, one-third the recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for calcium, and one-half or less of five essential nutrients.
