Review Summary Turn on the local news, open the newspaper, or simply check out the cover of your favorite entertainment magazine and you will no doubt see an article or a headline about weight loss. The fact is many of us are concerned with our expanding waistlines or keeping our waistline slim and trim. There are lots of ways to lose weight, and one that has gotten a lot of play on consumer sites and blogs is the Hollywood 48 Hour Miracle Diet, which is actually not a diet, but a holistic supplement. While there are supplements that may help you manage your cravings, hunger and blood sugar levels, and increase fat burning, this product uses a much different approach. It is a detox formula. Ingredients at a Glance This diet contains the following ingredients and extracts: Pineapple, Apple and Orange Concentrates, Apricot, Peach and Banana Purees, Palmitate Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6), Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12), Niacin, Folic Acid, Panthothenic Acid and a special blend of Essential Oils, Bergamot, Tangerine, Lemon and Orange. Ingredients in Focus The developers of the Hollywood 48 Hour Miracle Diet actually use the term diet very loosely, because as we noted above, it is not actually a diet; instead, it is a fast based detox system that uses an herbal based formula to help users keep their energy levels up. In fact, this formula is loaded with fruit juice and vitamins, which are used to keep users nutrition on track while they are fasting. The truth is that fasting may help us create some fast weight loss, but this weight loss often quickly returns when you stop the fast and start eating again, even if you eat a healthy diet. Lifestyle Many of us like the idea of cleansing our body of toxins, but the more effective and progressive formulas tend to use extracts to support our nutritional health, cleanse our colons and restore the colon and the digest system to health. This formula only attempts to keep our nutritional intake up and overlooks the other important aspects of this process. Sometimes individuals use fasts to jump start weight loss, and some immediate results maybe achieved, but as noted earlier they are usually very short lived. We actually suggest that consumer who want to detox look for comprehensive product that uses a three prong approach, and those who want to create long term weight loss should look for products that contain extracts that can also mange hunger, balance blood sugar levels and augment thermogenesis. Positives ?Moderately priced ?May order directly through its website Negatives ?Only contains nutritional support ?Does not contain extracts that are able to manage hunger or cravings ?Does not appear to contain ingredients to restore the colon and digestive track ?May only create short term and superficial weight loss results Final Thoughts Hollywood 48 Hour Miracle Diet is a fasting based product that is heavily promoted as being a detox and weight loss product, which may be used by some stars to generate huge weight loss gains. However, they failed to post testimonials by these stars, which was troubling. Also, the formula they use, while being nutritious, does not contain any extracts or elements like Hoodia or Yerba Mate that can help users manage issues like hunger and a sluggish metabolism. Fasting based products may create some very short term results, but before making a decision about this product or products like it, we actually suggest getting a bit more information, and to help you get started we have posted some links below that lead to articles posted on some other sites about this particular detox diet and others like it.
