What is the Beverly Hills Diet?

The Beverly hills diet was created by Judy Mazel (actress, a good qualification?) is a type of food combining diet. It claims that by following the plan for the full 35 days a weight loss of 10-15 pounds is expected.

The diet is mainly based on fruit which it claims contain the enzymes that can activate the human bodies metabolism to burn fat faster, while combining a protein with a carbohydrate can destroy enzymes which slows down the process and cause an increase in body fat. It is a 35 day diet plan where you can only eat specific fruits for the first ten day and as you continue add different foods every few days in an unsafe and impractical diet plan. Some of the points stated in this diet have no scientific background at all.
