Are You Addicted To Celebrity Diets?

By Russ Howe


We have all known at least one friend who is seemingly addicted to 'next big thing' celebrity diets, right? You know the ones, you see them in glossy women's gossip magazines each month promising quick weight loss results with seemingly no effort. Ever wondered why they don't work? Today you'll find out!

Today, trainer Russ Howe shows why these diets don't return great results and why they often leave you in a position worse than when you started.

Often targeted at serial dieters who desire to look like their favorite celebrity, there is little fact behind these fad diets and often people find they end up in a worse situation after their diet than when they started it.

Losing weight is not impossible. See the following points which cover why these plans don't work long term and why they should be avoided.

First of all the celeb featured on the routine probably knows nothing about it at all, and is merely picked by the magazine to be the face of their latest issue in a bid to sell more copies. Second of all, the plan itself will have a few massive wrong turns...

* Chopping your carbs, protein or fats completely from your diet leaves you in a fat storage state, not a weight loss state.

* Cutting your daily calories so drastically you leave your body in starvation mode.

* Asking you to eat silly 'next big thing' foods and nothing else. Surely you'd be tired of eating nothing but salad for a month, right?

The thing about these plans is you'll find you end up heavier and more out of shape than before you started it. Usually the fast weight loss of the first two weeks is offset by a huge weight gain in the coming weeks, this is the making of a yo-yo dieter.

Magazines, of course, know their market. They know this type of stuff sells if they include a few certain things...

* Gossip.

* How to burn fat quickly.

* Celebrities not looking their best.

* Fashion.

The other growing trend in this particular market is to release a Christmas weight loss dvd showing what workout routine helped this particular famous person to drop some pounds during the summer months. Usually they will all suffer from 'different' syndrome, the need to incorporate a gimmick such as Zumba or Bocra just to stand out from the rest releasing the same dvd's at the same time. Take a close look at who releases these materials. Notice how every June they are shown in gossip mags looking out of shape, and every New Year they have a new Keep Fit workout dvd on sale? It isn't coincidence, and it shows their diet isn't effective long term at all.

The fact remains your body actually needs a good supply of protein, a good supply of carbohydrates and a good supply of fat in order to function properly. Learning how to control these three macro nutrients will help you to not only lose fat but also keep it off forever. No quick fixes, fad food diets or over complicated celebrity diet plans necessary.
