The Hollywood Diet comes in two formulas: the 24-hour Miracle Diet or the 48-hour Miracle Diet. The product is supposed to help you lose up to 5 pounds in 24 hours by putting you on their special and trademarked liquid fast for one or two days. Both Miracle Diets contain vitamins and minerals and are ephedra and caffeine free. It's a natural blend of juices and botanical extracts that is mixed with water and sipped throughout the day. The Hollywood 48-hour Miracle Diet also includes the added ingredient of a special blend of the essential oils of bergamot, tangerine, lemon and orange. You are not supposed to consume any additional food while you are on either of the Miracle Diets.
Even though you can use the Hollywood 24-hour or 48-hour Miracle Diet independently, the company does recommend that you use either of them in conjunction with the 30-day Miracle Program.
PRO
Rapid weight loss is attractive option for someone looking to slim down quickly
Many health practitioners support following a liquid diet for a few days in order to cleanse the system and lose some weight
No red-flag ingredients in either the Hollywood 24-hour or 48-hour Miracle Diet liquids
Caffeine-free
Ephedra-free
Recommends moderate exercise
CON
Losing water weight, not weight from fat
Liquid fast may be too strict for some individuals
No real proof that this drink will help speed weight loss or will result in sustained weight loss
Liquid fasting could be dangerous for certain individuals
A bit misleading since it is recommended that for optimal weight loss, you also follow their 30-Day Miracle Program
Low calorie consumption; eat no other food
DIET and NUTRITION
Depending upon which diet you choose: The Hollywood 24-hour or 48-hour Miracle Diet, you consume the entire bottle of the juice and drink 8 glasses of water each day that you are on it. You are not supposed to consume any other food or beverages, nor are you supposed to smoke while on the diet.
EXERCISE
It is recommended that you exercise moderately while on the 24- or 48-Hour Miracle Diet. However, you should refrain from a more rigorous exercise routine until after the diet is over.
CONCLUSION
Fasting or consuming a liquid fast for one day or a few days at a time has been used for many years as a way to lose weight quickly, reduce fevers and also to give our digestive systems a break to allow them to get rid of built up toxins. Although many professionals in the medical field refute this notion and believe that the body is acutely capable of ridding itself of unwanted toxins without the intervention of a fast, many individuals continue to employ this practice for a number of reasons.
The Hollywood 24-hour or 48-hour Miracle Diet can assist in weight loss, but that weight is most likely water weight rather than actual fat. In looking at the ingredient list, the Miracle Diets look like a fancy fruit juice that is simply supplemented with some vitamins and minerals. It is possible that you'd experience similar results and detoxification by drinking some diluted fruit juice and using a multi-vitamin.

I will do this for 4 days then start the master cleanse.

I just started the 48hrs diet today and I feel fine, I am no hungry but I feel like I have to eat, so I am trying to keep myself busy all day that is the only way I won't be thinking that I need to eat.
I am 5'1 and my weight is 120 lbs since last year somehow every time I loss weight I get back to that 120 lbs.. I hope this time I don't go back to my 120's, my goal is 105lbs! So wish me luck, I am thinking on doing this diet once a week as the bottle recommends.

I read through all of the reviews and comments and I just have a question for the people who say they are using the bathroom a lot.... is it # 1 or # 2?? LOL I know it sounds like a weird question, but I've heard the diets like this make you go # 2 to "clean you out." I have a pretty weak bladder as it is so I am used to using the bathroom quite frequently for that purpose...just curious....

Well, I did it last wkend and loved it too! I was never hungry, just felt the need to eat. I 'kinda' cheated the first day b/c I just slept the ENTIRE day -so, my friends say that's not fair b/c I didn't have any real temptation to eat. But the 2nd day I was active a lot and did not eat the whole 48hrs and I'm so proud of myself and u will be too! Like Albie said- it really does work. I lost more inches than pounds b/c I keep working out, but the difference was VERY dramatic after the 2nd day- was able to wear clothes I haven't worn all year. Thanks to all of you for the advice, and Good luck!

I love this drink! My boyfriend was amazed he said I was getting smaller right before his eyes! YES! You will be hungry! But that�??s how you got this way in the first place! Right? You gotta be strong! Think about all the times you wanted to go somewhere and feel sexy... and you didn't! It�??s just two days! Or the dressing room fits that never seem to fit right�?� AT ALL! Make it happen. For me it always works great! I take it once a month. Yes it�??s the hardest two days of my life because I LOVE TO EAT! But do it on an off day! Stay busy! You will see results! Great boosters to get you motivated and drop those pounds! I dropped 8-10 pound each time I drink it. I can HONESTLY SAY, I'm dropping with this drink and its not all coming back. I work out 5-7 day a week. I fluctuate about 3 pound without the drink. Let�??s just say its like this.. After drinking this drink I have never seen that same size again! If your not looking for a quick fix but a booster I really think this is GREAT! DO IT! I am pretty happy with my size just want to flatten my tummy! I was 210 pounds now I�??m 165. I�??m drinking this drink now and I am almost sure I will be at 155 in two days!

Well, I'm highly skeptical, but going to try this for the long Labor Day weekend Sat-Sun, then at least I'll have Monday to recupe in case I'm still running to the toilet.
I think those who exercised a lot may have had trouble losing a lot of weight is because you gain muscle mass when you exercise. I am scared that I'll pass out if I exercise while on this b/c of the drastic change and lack of food intake is bound to make anyone weak. I guess I'll walk around a block or 2 just, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone to do any type of vigourous exercise.
i'm 30yrs old, 5ft, 158lbs. I'm looking to use this as just a jump start but will diet and exercise the right way for afterwards- and hope to lose 20lbs total.
I start tomorrow, good luck to the rest of you!

Where's the "I LOVE IT." button?!
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!! It made my stomach look INCREDIBLE. It's so easy if you can get your mind off the food, because that's obviously the most difficult part. I only dropped 5 lbs, but I can't stress to you how noticeable those 5 lbs are!!! It virtually flattened my stomach in the two days I was on it. I would recommend this to ALL of my friends and family and will DEFINITELY purchase again. TRY THIS DIET!!!!

I started this diet late yesterday (Saturday) .. Around 4:00 PM. I weighed myself this morning around 10:00 AM and lost about two pounds. I'm hoping by tomorrow when my full "48 hours" have passed, I lose more. I am taking the liquid formula along with "Slim Quick" pills to help decrease my appetite. It might not be considered healthy but it is helping me not eat everything I see.

There is no miracle diet that will result in safe weight loss. The extra weight you put on took was years in the making and it will not come off overnight. All you are losing is "water weight" which will hurt you in the short and long term.
Whatever happened to eating a clean diet?? Whatever happened to taking responsibility for yourself? The true "detox" diet is eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean cuts of meat. Period.

I tried expecting it not to work. It was hard Yes I was hungry. But the bottom line is its not just water weight you are advised to drink 8 glasses of water. If you drink them its not water weight you lose. I lost 7 pounds with no excerise. I am 39 mother of 5. I started out at 160 and now 6months later 140. I have a little more to go but it did work for me.
