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.
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.
* Feeling and looking ill, rather than well, despite losing weight.
* 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.
Why does this happen? Today we will explain it for you. There are a few reasons for this.
Most of these diets will ask you to cut out all of your favorite junk food, which we know is a massive failure tactic for those new to dieting, as well as drastically cutting your daily calorie intake.
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 a real progress killer and is a very bad habit to get out of. This creates yo-yo dieters and instills the false belief in them that in order to lose fat you need to eat as little as possible.
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 people often fall for these things because of a glitch in their personality. Deep down they know it's too good to be true, but the 'what if' factor gets them in the end and that is exactly what the magazine publisher is going for. They will keep wasting money until they wake up and change their mentality towards health and fitness. You don't need to avoid your favorite junk foods or live on rabbit food, but this myth will never go away until the dieter wakes up and realizes for themselves.
