Hollywood Diet Review & Information

The Hollywood Diet has a glamorous name and an impressive reputation. It has been called the official diet of Hollywood. But is it a healthy way to lose weight? And does the diet live up to its claims?

Fans of the Hollywood Diet say it is a cleansing diet which allows you to shed a great deal of weight over a brief period of time. One study (which was not a peer reviewed, double blind clinical study, mind you) involving 27 dieters, men and women age 18 to 67, showed that followers of the weight loss plan lost an average of 4.5 percent of their overall body weight, in addition to a sizeable proportion of fat. Overall weight loss among participants ranged from 4.5 pounds to 16.5 pounds.

Dieters reported that they were satisfied with the amount of weight they had lost and hoped to use the diet again. The Hollywood Diet requires you to consume nothing but a specially-mixed juice and water for two days. That means you cannot eat, drink caffeine products, or drink alcohol. As a result, you’ll be consuming only about 400 calories a day, as opposed to the normal 2000 calories per day.

What’s the secret to the success of the Hollywood Diet?

Advocates of the meal plan say that it hinders your typical food intake while cleansing your digestive system. You drink juice all day long in order to balance your blood sugar levels and to curb your appetite. The juice consists of a blend of natural fruit juices, along with enzymes and minerals that act as a laxative.

The Hollywood Diet can also cause you to lose water. In fact, your water loss may run in the neighborhood of one to six pounds. Diet experts say that, when following the Hollywood Diet, you should consume at least ten eight-ounce glasses of water a day. As a result of drinking so much water, your body will reduce its need to retain water.

Under the Hollywood Diet, you’re likely to lose one pound of fat, as many as two pounds of muscle, two to five pounds of waste matter, and as much as a half dozen pounds of water, for a total weight loss of four to 14 pounds. Therefore, while the diet offers fairly significant short-term weight loss, only a small proportion of that loss involves fat. Still, some medical experts say that, by cleansing the body, this diet can be beneficial to your overall health.

Among the chief benefits of the Hollywood Diet is that it is easy to follow. In addition, it can be quite effective in curbing hunger pains. Also, thanks to the vitamins and minerals the juice offers, your body may receive an energy boost.

Some critics have dismissed the Hollywood Diet as a scam. I'd be inclined to agree that this diet is pretty long on the hype, and pretty short on proof. It is certainly not a miracle cure for obesity. Nevertheless, it is highly effective as a cleansing diet. But the juice—the driving force behind the diet—can be expensive, running in the range of $30.
