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 have been trying this for a month now.... twice... And I have only lost like 8 lbs...this with exercise daily... I do not think that its the drink that is helping me lose the weight. It is the exercise. It was a waste of money I think. But I was told that it was very good to use, so I am still trying it. I have had five kids, two sets of twins, and now ready to get rid of this.... I did notice that while using the diet, I seemed to get sick if I drank water. The only thing I could keep down was the diet, lol. But I am eager and willing to do whatever it will take to lose this. I am working with Curves, so this is actually cheating on their level. lol.... I will keep you updated and let you know if it does anything yet. I am on the first day again.... Keep trying I say. I want the good looking body.

im half way through day one and im already starving. my head hurts since my stomach is so empty and im wondering how ill make it through day two. I am constantly running to the bathroom to pee! Good diet for fast weight loss and if you're not into eating, but i recommend just eating good and exercise if you like food as much as i do. I'll still do my best to finish the diet. wish me luck.

I am soooo hungry! I don't like this! i feel dizzy- It's only the first day- i know I don't have water weight to lose, just a bit of fat.
I think I need to get something to eat, like a banana! Maybe a bowl of Veggie soup...then I'll start the Sacred heart Diet!
LOL to all trying!! I want to drop 10-15 and get into a size 8! wish me luck!

I tried this diet for 24 hrs and weighed myself the next day and lost 7 lbs. If you eat in moderation, you will keep the weight off. I really like this diet if I'm going to a party or a special occasion and need to get rid of a few pounds fast.

too much fruit juice. i do better on simple V8 juice for short fasts. certainly costs less and is just as effective. i have inflammatory issues that are greatly helped by juice fasting. swelling almost disappears if i go about a week. exercise doesn't have to be boring or stressful. use water resistance in a pool, walking or treading like a bicycle.

I started dieting on January 2nd, weighing in at a whopping 213 pounds. I am a 38-year-old female and I'm 5'2". I did the Hollywood 48-hour Miracle Diet when I got to a stand still. I was down to 143 pounds and couldn't get the scales to move. I lost 5 pounds on the diet (3 weeks ago) and have lost another 5 since then. It definitely restarted my weight loss so I was very pleased with the results and will do it again when I get to another standstill. (80 pounds down -- 15 to go!!!)
