Pros: Good tasting, works fast, cleanses system
Cons: Expensive, not life changing, hard
The Bottom Line: If you need something quick to fit into a dress or to start you on the right foot, it is good. If you lack willpower to change lifestyle, not good!

| kbolton72's Full Review: Hollywood 48 Hour Miracle Diet |
Us women are so silly. We will go to just about every extreme to tighten up, lose a few inches, fit into pant sizes two sizes down. Supermodels and Cosmo are the yardstick that we measure ourselves to. We rearrange our faces, literally, to measure our beauty. And while I am on my high horse here, I will tell you that I am also one of them. Now granted, I don't need much work, just a little tweaking. And I am a sucker for experimenting. I have been on Weight Watchers, Nutisystem, The Zone, The Carb Addicts, Atkins and Grapefruit, so it is no surprise that when I saw an ad for Hollywood 48 Hour Miracle Diet claiming that I could lose up to 10 lbs in 2 days by drinking this juice, I HAD to try it!! I found my bottle at Target for $21.95, and made plans to tough it out, as this juice fast does not allow food or caffeine. The system basically is a set up to detoxify your body of bad sugars, negatives like caffeine and preservatives. It jump starts your body's cleansing mechanism by rejuvenating your body and preparing your way for a healthier lifestyle.
**WARNING!! IF YOU CONTINUE OLD BAD HABITS AFTER YOU GET OFF THIS DIET, YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY**
This is a fast rush of both cleaning waste and burning fat, the Hollywood Way. You are only on it for 48 hours, and you will use all of it up in that time. During that time, plan on writing in a journal and deciding what lifestyle diet you will use as a follow up, or the stubborn 10 lbs will climb right back on. During the two days, you will drink 3 glasses of 4 oz juice mix with 4 oz water. You can drink as much water (I went through 8 bottled waters a day while on this diet), you just can not have soda. Sip the juice mix slowly over 4 hours, make sure that you shake the concentrate well before preparing drink. The drink concentrate consists of natural botanical extracts and natural juices. You will flood your body with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and oils and wash out processed sugars, fats, artificial ingredients. It tastes really good, almost like a light gatorade. It was hard for me to give up my diet coke cans, but I was committed to getting a few water-weight pounds off, so I stayed strong!
It is good to use once a week or once a month, to keep momentum. I lost about 8 1/2 pounds on this liquid diet, and I felt as if I had more energy and my steps were lighter. It is not for day after day living, but it does jump start your diet. After cleansing yourself, you cringe at fast food, processed microwavable food and sugar. It is almost as if you lose taste for it. That was my experience anyway. It is not easy to do. If this is your first time using Hollywood, you will crave and your body will rebel, and want to eat all the carbs in sight. It is best to have a plan before you start, such as removing temptation, keeping yourself busy over the two day fast, and excercising! Keep focused and stay strong. Physc yourself out first. Plan on maintaining the weight loss with another healthy diet plan such as Nutrisystem, Zone, Weight Watchers, etc. Plan on not socializing with people you eat with or who will not understand and support what you are doing. Also, consult with your doctor to make sure this is a safe alternative for you!
Overall, this is hard. But it is effective and you will lose weight on it, and it will be noticeable. It can't hurt for 48 hours of your time!! The benefits change your frame of mind!
