Hollywood Diet
The diet was developed for Hollywood stars, whose shapes and proportions are admired by the whole world. Famous film actors ate exotic fruits, seafood, and expensive fish. Since the original diet is expensive, it was adapted for the general public, simplifying the diet, while the general principles remained unchanged.
The diet excludes salt, sugar, fatty foods. The intake of carbohydrates is minimized, they come only with vegetables and fruits (mainly citrus fruits).
The meal plan is designed for seven days, but depending on goals, health and willpower, it can be extended up to two weeks. The rate of weight loss with strict adherence to the recommendations is 5 kg per week.
A repeated course is recommended no earlier than three months later, since a prolonged absence of fats and carbohydrates in the diet can lead to metabolic disorders.
