Are Celeb Diets Unhealthy?

By Howe Russ


Today we answer the question so many people ask in the gym. Why do celeb diets never work? Why do you always seem to never lose any weight no matter how hard you work? Today we put these myths to bed for you and help you get some actual results in the gym.

We could name dozens of pals who have got messed around in the past following these routines. Often they are printed in glossy chat magazines and feature a famous body attached to an eating plan designed to give huge, unattainable results within a stupendously short period of time. They look too good to be true yet so many people still fall for them each month and get stuck in an endless 'get fit quick' cycle where they never actually get fit at all.

They often get stuck in a routine of jumping from one plan to the next looking for those instant results. There are tell tale signs:

* Quick weight loss for around one week followed by hitting a brick wall and not being able to lose any more weight no matter how much you try.

* Despite losing some weight they often look and feel ill.

* Piling the excess pounds straight back on the second we go back to eating regular food again, often leaving us more overweight than when we started.

Why does this happen? Today we will explain it for you. There are a few reasons for this.

As well as forcing you to ditch your favorite junk foods you'll often be asked to live on very basic, unappealing meals which drive you to the edge of your sanity. Couple this with the huge mistake of forcing you to drop your calories too far each day and it's a recipe for disaster.

You see, the effect of this sudden drop in calories forces your muscles to enter what we trainers refer to as Starvation Mode. Your body actually stores as much fat as it can to save energy.

This is why it becomes almost impossible to lose any more weight despite working harder and eating barely enough to survive...

What's more you will notice that you pile all of the weight you lost straight back on when your diet plan finishes. This is a combination of the effect we just discussed and the fact that the routine is usually focused around a very short, almost instantaneous weight loss goal.

The truth is when you diet you should not feel bad, you should not feel punished and you should not feel unwell. This is why they don't work and offer nothing more than a passing dream of a miracle pill which, sadly, does not exist despite the massive amounts of salesmen and magazines prepared to take your money if you are prepared to fall for it one more time.
