Hollywood Diet

The Hollywood Diet is often advertised on late night television as a "48-hour miracle diet". While being on the diet, it is claimed that people can lose between 5 and 15 pounds. A central focus of this diet is a "specially formulated juice drink" that is supposed to stimulate your metabolism and help you burn fat.

Top 3 Diet Plans (based on Diet Channel visitor activity):

Sonoma Diet - "Get to eat great food and even enjoy a glass of wine." Learn More...

Jillian Michaels - "Jillian guides you through the diet and exercise changes you know you need to make." Learn More...

Mediterranean Diet - "Diet focused on eating the healthy foods that taste great." Learn More...

The Hollywood Diet Juice

While on the diet, people should refrain from drinking alcohol, smoking, and consuming caffeine. Instead you drink the Hollywood Diet juice. This juice will be the only nutritive substance that a dieter may consume for the next couple of days. Food is not allowed. The juice claims to contain 100 percent of the necessary vitamins and minerals you need in a regular diet, along with enzymes and other "botanical extracts".

Hollywood Diet: another fad diet

As is the case with the vast majority of fad diets on the market, this is a diet to avoid. You may very well lose weight on this diet, but it would only be due to severe, unhealthy calorie restriction. The Hollywood Diet juice drink only accounts for 500 calories per day, as opposed to the 2000 calories that an average person needs. It can be quite easy to lose weight if you starve yourself. People who go on this diet can expect to be weak, tired, have difficulty concentrating, and in general not very happy. Also, you won't keep the weight off if you go right back to whatever pattern of eating resulted in you gaining weight in the first place. There are no miracle diets. There are only sound nutritional principles that, when followed over the course of years, not days, can lead to better health and weight control.

Starving yourself……that sustainable weight loss solution. Here we go again. How many times do I have to say it? As a society we just simply eat too much. For the love of Richard Simmons just cut your portions by a fourth. There are a few diets that really promote portion control (an idea I support): Mediterranean Diet, Heart Smart, and of course eDiets Weight Loss Program.

Mediterranean Diet

Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean is comprised of a large area of land that stretches from western Spain to the Middle East. Structured after traditional lifestyle habits of those in this area, the Mediterranean Diet is ideal for people who like to cook, enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, and are interested in making a permanent lifestyle change. With very few dietary restrictions, followers of the Mediterranean Diet are allowed to eat all the things they enjoy, in moderation. Unlike the customary Western style of quickly eating large portions, the Mediterranean Diet places great emphasis on spending time on preparing and enjoying small, tasty meals. Rather than make drastic lifestyle modifications, this plan teaches people to choose low-fat, low- cholesterol foods that are packed with flavor and will leave them feeling fulfilled. The Mediterranean Diet aims to permanently improve long-term health.

 

Heart Smart Diet

Heart Smart Diet

The Heart Smart Diet works to prevent some forms of heart disease and to lower cholesterol. The key is to keep the total calories consumed each day under control while eating more fruits and vegetables, avoiding saturated fats, replacing refined carbohydrates with whole grain fiber foods, and increasing physical activity.
