Are You Addicted To Celebrity Diets?

By Russ Howe


In 2012, there is a growing trend of becoming addicted to celebrity diets which simply do not work. You know the ones we are talking about, right? You've probably seen them in glossy gossip magazines each month and maybe even considered trying them from time to time.

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.

Magazines know their audience. They target these routines at yo-yo dieters looking to get the quick way to look like their favorite famous actor or athlete.

To get results with your weight loss you must realize a few important things about how these celebrity diets work.

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 down your daily calorie intake so much forces your body into starvation mode and leaves you in a situation where it's actually harder to lose weight despite the fact you are seemingly punishing yourself for wanting a better body.

* 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.

You see, the magazines are smart with their marketing and they know that gossip magazines aimed at women must include a few of the following to sell....

* Celeb gossip.

* How to burn off their belly fat as quickly and easily as possible.

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

* Shopping tips.

And it sells, so you have to expect it will continue. You also have the DVD crowd, D-listers who issue a yearly keep fit dvd showing how they dropped their weight over the summer. Take note of the pictures of those same people every May, shown in the magazines we have already covered, and you'll see that they piled the weight back on every single time. Clearly the diet plan wasn't solid. And, furthermore, releasing a yearly dvd is proving a good financial move for them. Don't put yourself in a position of becoming addicted to this way of life because it will halt your weight loss.

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.
