Hollywood diet for 14 days for weight loss: menu

Hollywood Diet Recommendations:

Breakfast should be excluded throughout the 14 days of the diet (in some less strict versions of the Hollywood diet, breakfast may consist of a glass of green tea or a cup of coffee and half a grapefruit - according to a well-established, unsubstantiated opinion, this fruit resolves cellulite).
Bread, confectionery, vegetables and fruits with a high starch content should be completely excluded for the entire duration of the diet.
Alcohol and all alcohol-containing drinks and foods are prohibited during all 14 days of the Hollywood diet.
Sugar and all its derivatives should be completely excluded (non-carbohydrate sweeteners can be added).
All food should be prepared without the use of fat and oils (boil or steam only).
Like some other quick diets, such as the French diet, the Hollywood diet requires a complete abstinence from salt and all kinds of pickles.

Principles of the star diet

The diet is based on a sharp reduction in the calorie content of the daily diet, the complete exclusion of salt from it, and a strict restriction of fats and carbohydrates. The list of prohibited foods on the Hollywood diet includes:

all types of sugar;
sweet and fiber-rich fruits and vegetables;
baked goods and confectionery;
butter;
fatty meat, fish, dairy products;
carbonated and especially alcoholic drinks, without which it is difficult to imagine the life of Hollywood bohemians.

Alcohol itself is very high in calories, in addition, it activates the pancreas, affecting appetite. Meanwhile, the daily energy intake for the Hollywood diet does not exceed 600-800 kilocalories. Bob Harper, however, understood the lifestyle of his clients and did everything to ensure that they lost weight in a varied and tasty way, unlike the strict Atkins diet. For example, oysters and fresh pineapples were an almost obligatory element of the menu. In our country there are problems with both, especially with oysters, which are expensive and difficult to transport. Therefore, in Russia, those who want to join Hollywood weight loss recipes have to be satisfied with more affordable seafood.

An important point: on the Bob Farber diet there are no breakfasts at all - they are replaced by a large glass of water. Water generally plays an important role in this diet; its daily consumption should be at least 1.5 liters.

Menu for days 7 and 14 of the Hollywood diet

Lunch: boiled chicken (200 grams), cabbage or cucumber salad, grapefruit or orange, cup of coffee (green tea)
Dinner: fruit salad: apple, orange and grapefruit

It is the Hollywood diet that allows you to quickly lose weight, subject to a few simple restrictions. Moreover, there are no restrictions on raw foods in salads - any type of cabbage (it can be regular white cabbage, cauliflower, or broccoli) and cucumbers can be eaten in any quantity. In some cases, coffee can be completely excluded from the diet and replaced with green tea or plain water - because. the diet was developed in America, where a cup of coffee has become almost a national tradition - most likely this is the reason for its presence in the diet in large quantities. The absence of salt in prepared food will help remove excess fluid from the body, which can result in a significant weight loss (up to 1.5 kg per day) in the first two days of the diet.

The main advantage of the Hollywood diet is that you can quickly lose weight in a relatively short time. In addition, excluding alcohol and salt in any form from your diet will normalize the general condition of your body (alcohol itself is a high-calorie product, and can additionally exacerbate the feeling of hunger). The results of the Hollywood diet for different people will depend on the excess initial weight - on average about 7 kilograms, but in some cases it allows you to lose weight by 10 kg. It is necessary to take into account the initial weight loss caused by the removal of excess fluid (during the first two days of the diet) - along the way, the body will be cleansed of toxins and the metabolism will be normalized.

The disadvantage of the Hollywood diet is due to the fact that it is not balanced in vitamins, which means that additional intake of vitamin and mineral complexes is necessary. The second drawback is caused by restriction on salt throughout the diet - the consequence is an initial weight loss due to the removal of excess fluid from the body. With constant intake of coffee, without alternating it with green tea, and with restrictions due to compliance with dietary recommendations, sharp short-term changes in blood pressure are possible, causing dizziness and, possibly, attacks of nausea - the same will be observed with the usual intake of large doses of caffeine in a drink of any kind - You may need to consult a doctor if you have frequent attacks. It is also necessary to note the existing restriction on the amount of carbohydrates, present in almost all diets, which can cause weakness in some people. All of these disadvantages determine the minimum period of time for repeating the Hollywood diet, which is three months (as with the Japanese diet), and the maximum duration of its implementation is two weeks, after which a break is required.

Add a review

A real Hollywood star diet menu should include fresh seafood and ripe, juicy pineapples. In our realities, it is not easy to get hold of such delicacies, since stores can rarely offer recently caught oysters or ripened exotic fruits, and if they do, the price of such food will hit your pocket hard. So nutritionists adapted the dietary table for the domestic consumer, replacing the exotic with affordable, but similar in protein and carbohydrate content products.

The basis of the diet included foods with a high protein content, the consumption of carbohydrates was reduced to a minimum. Instead of breakfast, a cup of unsweetened natural coffee is offered. If you start to notice changes in blood pressure, it is permissible to replace the drink with green tea without additives or sweetener.

For 7 days

The menu option designed for a week is more gentle only due to the short period. During this time, you will be able to lose 5-7 kilograms of your original weight with minimal losses to the body. If necessary, you can replace dishes from the diet with similar protein and carbohydrate content. Don't forget to drink regularly and a lot. And remember - no breakfast, only coffee or tea!

For 14 days

If you are ready to stay on the menu option proposed above for two weeks rather than one, on the eighth day just start the diet from the beginning. During this time, up to 14 kilograms of the original weight can be lost. But you will still have to give up breakfast.

To try to somehow diversify your diet and facilitate the process of losing weight, you can combine dishes as follows:

one chicken egg can be replaced with 4-5 quail eggs, 100 grams of low-fat cottage cheese or light unsalted cheese;
alternate chicken breast with lean beef, veal, rabbit, lean fish;
Spinach, celery, Chinese cabbage are suitable as a hot side dish;
green salads can be made from spinach, celery, Chinese cabbage, parsley, watercress and any other green salad, without dressing;
You can drink only black unsweetened coffee, tea, pure mineral water without gas;
Grapefruit can be replaced once or twice with fresh pineapple; both of these fruits help break down fat, but the second one contains a lot of sugar.

Product recommendations

Sometimes you can allow yourself to diversify the table by replacing simple boiled eggs with a light omelette cooked in the oven or in a dry frying pan without vegetable oil.
The following types of fish are suitable for a healthy diet: sole, pollock, river perch, pike perch, mullet, blue whiting. Sometimes a fish dish can be replaced with seafood.
It is better to steam meat, fish and poultry, preserving their natural salts and minerals, which will significantly improve the taste of the dishes.
Dietary cheeses include the following varieties: curd cheese Ricotta, Tofu, Feta, Oltermani. Brynza is absolutely not suitable - it is a low-fat type of cheese, but it has a high salt content, which contradicts the basic principle of the diet of Hollywood stars.
Spinach, both hot and cold, is the richest green in vitamins and microelements, so try not to replace it with analogues.

On days 18 and 21

In an effort to please themselves, some enthusiastic people try to stretch this meager menu for 18 or even 21 days. But such diligence does not lead to amazing results, but to sad consequences:

a constant lack of carbohydrates sharply reduces the body’s ability to function normally; it simply has nowhere to get strength, which leads to ailments and constant weakness;
the abundance of proteins causes internal organs to work harder, which leads to serious chronic diseases, most often kidney failure;
excess caffeine, especially on an empty stomach, will certainly affect blood pressure; in addition, this drink irritates the gastric mucosa, leading to disorders and problems with stool.

With the Hollywood diet, the daily calorie intake does not exceed 600 kcal, which is extremely low for the normal functioning of the body. If you stick to such a meager diet for a long time, there is a high probability of disrupting your metabolism and driving yourself to exhaustion and even anorexia.

Breaking the Hollywood Diet

To consolidate your weight loss results, you should exit the diet correctly. In the first days after stopping the restricted diet, do not indulge in junk food. Baked goods, confectionery and sausages, and fatty foods are prohibited.

For the first three days after finishing the diet, in the morning, eat liquid porridge boiled in water, 1 whole grain toast, and a few slices of low-fat cheese. For lunch, eat broths cooked with vegetables, fish and meat. Dinner - vegetable salad with a small piece of boiled chicken.

During snacks, eat fruits, cottage cheese with raisins and drink fermented baked milk. But do not rush to return salt and granulated sugar to your diet, because along with them the lost 1-2 kg will return.

Recommendations and general rules for nutrition

In order for your efforts to follow a diet not to be in vain, you must strictly adhere not only to the specified menu, but also to the following rules:

Be sure to use only fresh and high-quality products for dishes. No instant coffee, only real coffee and beans.
The salad is sometimes allowed to be seasoned with a small amount of olive oil.
Dinner should be served before 18-19.00 pm.
To reduce the feeling of hunger, you can divide lunch or dinner into several meals.
Be sure to drink water. 1-2 liters per day is considered optimal. Water must be bottled or filtered, without gas.
Follow the diet plan strictly.

The maximum duration of such a diet is 2 weeks. You can use it no more than 4 times during the year, i.e. the break should be about 3 months.

Rules for quitting a diet without harm to health

You need to end any diet correctly, otherwise, instead of a great mood and a slim figure, you may end up with health problems. The transition to a normal diet is slow. Regular dishes are gradually being introduced into the menu.

Breakfast should be returned first. Low-fat porridge (with water) will be good for the body. Add salt and spices little by little. From day 3 you can include grain breads and a little cheese in the menu.

Soups with dietary broth (chicken) are allowed. When the body gets used to proper nutrition, you can introduce meat dishes.

Reviews and results of losing weight

Many women who have tried the diet of Hollywood beauties note a weight loss of up to 5-7 kg in the first week. This is a great option to get yourself in order for the New Year holidays or the summer season in a limited period of time.

It is noted that the final result largely depends on the initial weight and the speed of metabolic processes in the body. It is important to have good willpower and determination, since many who lost weight initially found it difficult to adhere to a strict menu. You should only hold out for the first few days, when the body gets used to the diet.

Be sure to follow the recommendations for exiting the diet. The Hollywood Diet has shown excellent results, but everything should be taken carefully. A healthy approach is the key to being slim and in a great mood.

Diets of Hollywood stars

Gwyneth Paltrow often admits in her interviews that she periodically indulges in fasting days on cocoa; Jennifer Lopez constantly carries jars of baby food with her - this is her personal way of fighting extra pounds. Ordinary people can only guess: what is said really takes place or are such radical methods mentioned to attract attention to one’s person? Looking at the graceful figures of actresses, it is not difficult to believe in such miracle diets.

Another Jennifer, known to viewers from the series “Friends,” loses weight on frequent split meals: Aniston eats every 2-3 hours; in her refrigerator you cannot find foods such as sugar, bread and sweet fruits.

Christina Aguilera laughed at Adele's chic figure for a long time, constantly emphasizing that a singer who respects her audience will never go on stage carrying a couple of dozen extra pounds. But, as they say, he who laughs last laughs: after the birth of the child, Christina herself recovered and changed beyond recognition. Fortunately, the star has now managed to regain her previous shape: yoga, body ballet classes and that same Hollywood diet helped her.

It is noteworthy that male actors also have problems with weight; many have their own secrets in the struggle for slimness: Gerard Butler, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio - they all constantly lose weight and gain weight for new roles.

Bradley Cooper noticeably lost weight before the release of A Star Is Born. Insiders say that he also had to spend a couple of weeks on carbohydrate, protein and mono days, and his new passion Lady Gaga revealed to him the secrets of being slim.

Varieties

The star diet is designed for 7 days and 14 days. With the second option, the weekly menu is simply duplicated.

Hollywood diet menu with breakfast for 14 days

Breakfast	a few pieces of non-starchy fruit; 1 ripe medium orange.
Dinner	assorted vegetables (tomatoes + cucumbers); chicken meat 150 g (skin must be removed).
Dinner	a small piece of lean meat; whole grain toast.

Instead of chicken, you can eat turkey, alternating it with seafood or fish.

Contraindications

Like any strict diet, “Hollywood” cannot be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is not recommended for children and adolescents. A relative contraindication is diseases of the digestive system; they should be considered individually and, when planning a diet, do not forget to consult a doctor.

You should not abuse the Hollywood diet, as well as other fast diets. You can sit on it no more than once a quarter.

Even if you lose an extra 7-10 kg in two weeks, but then return to your usual high-calorie diet with an abundance of fats and sweets, the whole “Hollywood” effect will disappear in a couple of months. It is much more important not to relax after losing weight quickly, but to continue counting calories and avoid overeating, especially in the evening. Good luck, willpower, Hollywood smiles and slimness to everyone! Be healthy!
