How does it works?
The Hollywood 48 Hour Miracle Diet disrupts your regular food intake while cleansing your digestive system. The juice is a blend of natural fruit
juices, enzymes and minerals which in combination acts as a mild laxative to flush out your system. By consuming the juice at regular intervals thorough out the day helps to balance your blood sugar level
and aids in controlling your hunger.
Where does the weight loss come from?
At this point you need to understand a little biology:
~First fat loss~
A pound of fat contains 3500 calories and the average 150 lbs. person will burn about 2000 calories a day. Which would result in a maximum fat
loss of just over 1 pound over 2 days. This applies to all diets which claim fast weight loss, not just the Hollywood Diet. One pound of fat loss over 2 days or 3 1/2 pounds a week is the maximum fat loss
you should expect from any diet.
~Muscle Loss~
A pound of muscle contains about 700 calories. So in fact if your body burns only muscle for energy you would lose 6 pounds of muscle in 2
days. This of course would not happen as your body will only burn small amounts of muscle at a time, perhaps 700 calories a day at the most or about a pound per day. The loss of muscle can be prevented or
reduced by exercising. Your body will only burn muscle as a last resort if they (muscles) are being used. When dieting the saying "use it or lose it" as it applies to muscle, is true. This is one
reason why it is important to exercise while dieting so you do not lose muscle. Remember "use it or lose it".
~Waste product~
The typical individual has between 3 and 10
pounds of fecal matter and other waste material in their body. In fact, this is where a large part of the weight loss comes from in Hollywood miracle diet. This is the main reason I would call it a cleansing
diet. You might expect to lose between 2 and 5 pounds or more of waste matter.
~Water Loss~
The Hollywood diet may also act as a diuretic causing you to lose water. You may expect to lose between 1 and 6 pounds due to water
loss. Please remember to drink plenty of water. You should drink at least 10 - 8oz glasses of water. In fact, when you drink lots of water you body will have a tendency to retain less water.
