INTRODUCTION: JUDY MAZEL’S BEVERLY HILLS DIET

Welcome to the diet phenomenon of the '80s—the diet that first exploded into reality in the heart of Beverly Hills among the movie stars, the jet-setters, and the ultra body conscious who are hardened to flimsy fads. The diet embraced by everyone from "Dallas" star Linda Gray, actress Sally Kellerman, and singer Engelbert Humperdinck to hundreds of skinnies shouting the praises of the Beverly Hills Diet—a way of eating that has turned slimhood into a reality. A way of eating I call Conscious Combining.

Entrepreneur Irwin Molasky, of Las Vegas, is spied at a five-hundred-dollar-a-plate benefit dinner spearing watermelon. A film and stage actress is munching popcorn on the way to the set. A La Jolla housewife is popping grapes at her bridge luncheon. A Phoenix business executive is making a meal of baked potatoes at Durant's Steak House, and a New York book editor is packing papayas in her briefcase. What is going on? These people say they're on a diet and they love it. They say they've never felt or looked better . . . and they claim they aren't hungry! Why? They are Conscious Food Combiners. They have discovered Judy Mazel's Beverly Hills Diet.

They are learning about the enzymatic capabilities of their bodies and how this relates to the food they eat. They are learning how to eat what they really like, not what they think they should like. They are discovering a way of eating that has become a way of life.

The Beverly Hills Diet is an exciting adventure into the world of food—a world of tastes, textures, aromas, feelings, and above all, awareness. "Combiners" not only acknowledge their food fantasies, they fulfill them—while they are losing weight. And, for the first time in their lives, they learn how to control how they feel by what they eat

You too can become a Conscious Combiner. You too can learn to eat what you like, what you crave, what you want—without getting fat. You too can learn that getting thin and eating right can be fun.

Diet does not have to mean deprivation. It's no longer necessary to exist on grapefruit, celery sticks, and four-ounce servings of dry fish or skinless chicken. No more light-headedness and sapped energy. No more diet misery. On the Beverly Hills Diet you will lose weight by feeding your body, not by starving it.

On my program there is no calorie counting and no food weighing. Those dreaded never mandated by other diets are banished forever. On what other diet can you eat popcorn, pizza, spareribs, cheesecake, and ice cream and still lose weight?
