The Hollywood Diet is weight loss plan that involves forgoing meals for a short-term liquid diet. The original Hollywood 48-Hour Miracle Diet was introduced in 1997 by Sunset Health Products, who claimed it was the first rapid weight loss diet on the market to aid in weight loss while detoxifying the body, according to its website. The plan has 24- and 48-hour versions marketed as quick weight aids. While on the Hollywood Diet, there are a several safety precautions that should be taken. Never start a diet without talking to your doctor.

Physical Activity

Regular exercise is recommended for either plan, but the program suggests saving high-intensity exercise for when you are done with the diet. Rigorous exercise while on a diet that restricts the amount of whole foods you consume can result in decreased energy levels and poor workout performance. You can engage in a moderate exercise routine consisting of light resistance training and cardiovascular exercise. Make sure to listen to your body when working out and stop immediately if you begin to feel lightheaded or dizzy.

Increasing Results

Avoid adjusting the suggested dosage of the Hollywood Diet juice to try to increase you results, and do not follow the program for longer than the recommended period in an attempt to lose more weight. The manufacturer suggests following the plan once per week, while eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. The program also has designed a 30-day weight loss plan for those who want to shed more pounds.

Restrictions

The Hollywood Diet plan recommends refraining from smoking while on the program, and it also is recommended that you avoid drinking coffee with cream or sugar. The plan states that you must avoid all food substances while on the diet, including candy and gum. Diabetics and pregnant or nursing mothers should not follow the program. Consult your physician before starting a new weight loss program, especially if you have current health conditions.

Considerations

Keep your Hollywood Diet juice stored properly to prevent the product from spoiling. After opening the Hollywood Diet juice, store the remaining juice in the refrigerator. An opened container of the juice can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 14 days and an unopened bottle has a shelf life of up to two years, according to the manufacturer's website.
