1. Getting Back to Your Skinny Ways
If you gain back more than 5 pounds, it's a good idea to do the 35-day "born again skinny" routine. This is the core of the diet plan and includes the essential conscious combining techniques that promote a 10- to 15-lb. weight loss. Start off your day with fruit, followed by carbohydrates, making sure to wait for 2 full hours before switching food groups. Finish off the rest of your day with proteins, keeping in mind up to 80 percent of the rest of your food choices should be protein based. You can also choose one "open meal" per day, which consists of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. You can also follow the principles of the original Beverly Hills Diet and jump-start your weight loss by eating only fruits for several days. The original diet called for 10 days of only fruits, but it's best to limit yourself to 2 or 3 days of fruit-only eating.
2. Get the Support You Need to Keep the Weight Off
Keep the weight off by changing the way you think about food. Once you finish the 35-day maintenance plan, join the Beverly Hills Diet's Skinny Success Club. Your membership fee gives you access to message boards where you can share secrets with other people who have successfully maintained their weight loss using the principles of conscious combining. Your membership also gives you access to new recipes to keep your menu planning interesting and to help you stay motivated. The Skinny Toolkit gives you access to online food lists and journals so you can monitor your progress and make healthy eating a part of your new skinny lifestyle.
3. Make Healthy Choices for a Lifetime
While the original Beverly Hills Diet stayed away from promoting exercise, we all know that working out helps keep the weight off. You don't have to become a body builder, but you really should start a regular exercise routine that includes some weight lifting or strengthening exercises if you want to keep the weight off for life. While the diet also allows for alcohol, it's a good idea to limit consumption to improve your metabolic rate.
