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.
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.
Watch the video today with trainer Russ here.
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 intake of fats, protein or carbs actually makes it harder to lose weight by putting your body into a state of fat storage.
* 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.
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....
* Gossip from Hollywood.
* How to burn off their belly fat as quickly and easily as possible.
* Celebrities not looking at their best, shall we say.
* Shoes.
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.
