The Hollywood Diets include the Cookie Diet, the 15-Day Detox and the Miracle Juice diets. The 24-hour juice diet lasts for a day and you can repeat it up to once a week, and you can repeat the 48-hour juice diet up to once every two weeks. The Miracle Juice diets are lacking in several essential nutrients, so be sure to discuss them with your physician before trying them.
Background
The Miracle Juice Diet claims that you can lose up to 5 lbs. in 24 hours on the 24-hour diet, or up to 10 lbs. in 48 hours on the 48-hour diet. Each diet provides a total of 400 calories per day from juice products, and the calories come from 25 g of carbohydrates, including 22 g of sugars. While you are on the diet, you are not supposed to have anything with caffeine, drink alcohol or use tobacco.
Juice Products
There are separate juice products for the 24-hour and the 48-hour diets, and on both diets, you drink four servings of juice per day. You prepare the drink by diluting 4 oz. of the appropriate Miracle juice with 4 oz. water. The 24-hour Miracle Juice contains apple juice and concentrates from berries including blueberry, strawberry and acai berry. The 48-hour Miracle Juice has pineapple, orange, apricot, apple and banana concentrates, as well as lemon and orange essential oils.
Vitamins
During the 24 or 48 hours that you are on the diet, the only vitamins and minerals that you get are from the fortified juice products. The juice for the 24-hour diet provides 75 percent of the daily value for vitamins A, C, D, E, B6 and B12, as well as for the B vitamins thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and folic acid. The 48-hour product provides 100 percent of the daily value for these vitamins per serving.
Weight Loss
You might be tempted by the amount of weight that you can lose on a Miracle Juice diet, but these amounts of weight loss are not typical. In one research study that the Hollywood Diet conducted, only 4 out of 30 participants lost at least 10 lbs. on the 48-hour diet. Furthermore, for most people, a healthy rate of weight loss is 1 to 2 lbs. per week, and the Mayo Clinic warns that you might not be able to maintain faster weight loss. In addition, when you lose weight quickly, you may be losing weight from water loss, not from burning fat.
