In 2012, there is a growing trend of becoming addicted to celebrity diets which simply do not work. You know the ones we are talking about, right? You've probably seen them in glossy gossip magazines each month and maybe even considered trying them from time to time.
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.
Often targeted at serial dieters who desire to look like their favorite celebrity, there is little fact behind these fad diets and often people find they end up in a worse situation after their diet than when they started it.

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.
Firstly, the celeb featured in the plan usually has nothing to do with it. They've been picked as a flavor of the month face for the latest quick fix by a magazine. Secondly, the plans themselves often have a few serious errors...
* Cutting protein, carbs or fat out of your diet leaving you in a state of fat storage.
* 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.
* 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?
This leads you down a lonely, frustrating path. We all know someone who has attempted one of these quick fixes and usually they'll see a fast weight loss followed by feeling quite ill and then piling the weight back on almost immediately after finishing their plan and starting to eat normal food again. This creates the yo-yo dieter, the perfect customer for these monthly magazines to sell a new concept to every month.
The magazines can't be blamed for catering to their audience, however, and they realize that if they want to sell copies of their latest issue they need simply tick a few boxes and people will buy it...
* Celeb gossip.
* How to lose weight quickly.
* Famous people looking less than perfect.
* Shopping tips.
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.
If you're trying to lose weight, more than likely you want to look healthy when you lose it and you want to keep it off forever, right? As a Fitness Instructor, I show people all the time how to do this while enjoying protein, carbohydrates and fats and while still enjoying their favorite foods. You do not need a celebrity diet punishing you to attempt quick fix results which are so fixated on the 'right now' that they don't pay any attention to what happens a month from now.
