Secret 48 Hour Hollywood Diet
The promise of losing weight rapidly is always exciting, and that’s where the 48 Hour Hollywood Diet gets its appeal.
But can you really lose a lot of weight in only two days by drinking a special beverage?
Four years ago I had a close friend who went on this diet. She was in a long distance relationship and was about to fly across the country to see her boyfriend.
Naturally, she wanted to look good for him, and she felt she had become fat since the last time she saw him. So what did she do? She went out and bought the bottled drinks for the 48 Hour Hollywood Diet.
Now, she hadn’t told me until after she bought the drinks, otherwise I probably would have advised her against it. But regardless, after she told me about it I looked into it further.
First of all, the bottled beverages you have to buy are very expensive. Back when she bought them it cost around $50 for the two day supply. I think the prices have dropped to about half of that now but it’s still ridiculously expensive considering the ingredients.
Ingredients of the Hollywood Diet Drink:
Purified Water, Pineapple, Apple, and Orange Juice Concentrates, Apricot, Peach and Banana Purees, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Niacin, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, blend of Essential Oils: Bergamot, Tangerine, Lemon and Orange.
Basically the ingredients are inexpensive juice concentrates plus a pretty random collection of various vitamins… none of which have anything to do with fat burning.
When you buy a $25 bottle of the Hollywood Diet drink you are basically getting the equivalent of a $2 bottle of regular fruit juice. Don’t be impressed by the long list of vitamins, it’s nothing you won’t find in an inexpensive multivitamin capsule.
This diet is one huge scam. Will you lose weight on it? You probably would just from the lack of calories… but you would lose the exact same amount of weight if you drink nothing but regular fruit juice for two days.
Also the weight that you lose will mostly be water weight. You’ll gain it all back quickly.
So what happened to my friend? She couldn’t even last one day on the diet… threw out what was left of the expensive juice… and went on her trip having only lost weight from her wallet.
If you are really dead set on trying it, just go buy some regular juice and save yourself a lot of money.
