Are You Addicted To Celebrity Diets?

By Russell Howe


We are sure you've seen the countless celebrity diet plans in glossy gossip magazines, right? The ones which promise massive weight loss results just like your favorite actor or musician? Today we'll show you why they never work for long term weight loss and why they should be avoided.

Today, personal trainer Russ Howe walks you through why you should look to steer clear of these quick fix diets and shows why they don't actually yield successful results.

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.

Usually the celeb featured in the glossy magazine isn't involved in the article at all and is merely being used as a marketing ploy to sell the mag in the first place. Secondly, the diet plans themselves are often very flawed....

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

* Cutting your calorie intake so drastically will put your body into starvation mode and make it almost impossible to lose weight.

* 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?

This takes your weight loss nowhere fast. Usually people end up seeing a little weight loss for the endless hours of punishing their body and cutting out their favorite food, before sadly seeing the weight (and more) pile back on when they start eating regular food again.

The magazines can't be blamed for catering to their audience, however, and they realize that if they want to sell copies of their latest issue they need simply tick a few boxes and people will buy it...

* Gossip.

* How to burn fat quickly.

* Celebrities not looking at their best, shall we say.

* Shopping tips.

You also have the d-list types who sell dvd's every Christmas showing how they dropped their belly fat over the summer months. Pay close attention to the people who do these, you'll notice around May or June they'll be featured in gossip magazines having piled weight back on again, and will release another dvd just in time for Christmas or New Year. This is a never ending cycle and the fact that the exerciser cannot keep the weight off all the year round shows the quick fix diet simply isn't effective.

If you're trying to lose weight, more than likely you want to look healthy when you lose it and you want to keep it off forever, right? As a Fitness Instructor, I show people all the time how to do this while enjoying protein, carbohydrates and fats and while still enjoying their favorite foods. You do not need a celebrity diet punishing you to attempt quick fix results which are so fixated on the 'right now' that they don't pay any attention to what happens a month from now.
