Are You Addicted To Celebrity Diets?

By Russ 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, fitness instructor Russ Howe gives you the lowdown on why you should always avoid these quick fix type diets and reveals why they simply do not work.

Usually people find they put weight straight back on and often end up heavier than when they started, despite trying their hardest just to get the physique of their favorite celeb.

To get serious weight loss results, take into consideration the following points on why these routines don't 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.

* Most plans ask you to eat the same food over and over again, which is not only dull for you but bad for your body.

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 lose weight quickly.

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

* Shoes.

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.

Your body needs protein, carbohydrates and fats to lose weight and build muscle. Simply learning the basics of how to diet will eliminate the need to get sucked into this gimmick filled, result barren wasteland of get fit quick celebrity diet plans.
