Slimming With the Stars

Answer 1

Like its namesake, the Hollywood Diet comes with big claims and a lot of hype. Proponents of the Hollywood Diet say that users can drop up to 10 pounds in as little as 48 hours. And unlike many miracle diets that have made the same claims, the Hollywood Diet has persisted in the media and as a business, leading some to believe that there may actually be some truth in these claims. The Hollywood Diet is a liquid diet, consisting of fruity tasting juices containing other elements. It is a fasting diet, and so the only food that you can eat during the period of dieting is actually the juice. Many reviews on the internet all seem to claim the same thing - this is not a diet to stay on for a long period of time. The Hollywood Diet is a diet for special occasions. Opponents of the diet say that it is a shortcut and most of the weight lost on fasting liquid diets such as this one are water weight, followed by muscle weight. The Hollywood Diet is also purported to have a laxative effect on the body, meaning that some of the weight loss could be attributed to the loss of waste materials inside the body. Both sides seem to agree that the Hollywood Diet is most effective for those who have maintained close to a healthy body weight and fitness for their age. It has also been hypothesized to be best used at the end of another, more long term diet, to give an extra kick to the metabolism boost that the customer would already be feeling during the long term dieting process. A less famous, but still just as Hollywood, Diet is the 24 hour version of the plan. Independent studies have found that Hollywood Diet drinkers lost an average of 4.5% of their body weight within the period advertised.
