There are so many celeb diets around these days it is hard to get some straight answers. Can you honestly get good weight loss results following on of these? Why do they never seem to work? Today we explain these myths in more depth for you.
Be honest, we all know at least one friend who constantly gets sucked in by the latest routine printed in this month's chat magazine. It's hard not to, what with the instant results they claim and the fact that they have attached a famous person's photograph to conjure up images of how you will look next month if you follow their routine, right?
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.
* These plans create a yo-yo dieter, where the weight flies back on the second you return to eating normal food again. That's exactly what they want, too, as it means you'll be back in the future.
Today we will show you the reasons why these things happen.
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.
When you drop your calories by this much you force your body into a starvation mode, where it stores as much energy as it can. Indeed, even though you may be practically starving yourself you are actually storing more fat from each meal than you used to when you were eating what you liked.
When you are in this zone it becomes impossible to shift any more weight.
Furthermore, the overall goal is usually a quick fix one or two month target. This adds to the other flaws and creates an effect where people find their body just piles the weight back on and more when they return to eating normally.
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.
