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, fitness instructor Russ Howe gives you the lowdown on why you should always avoid these quick fix type diets and reveals why they simply do not work.
Usually people find they put weight straight back on and often end up heavier than when they started, despite trying their hardest just to get the physique of their favorite celeb.

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.
Usually the celeb featured in the glossy magazine isn't involved in the article at all and is merely being used as a marketing ploy to sell the mag in the first place. Secondly, the diet plans themselves are often very flawed....
* Cutting protein, carbs or fat out of your diet leaving you in a state of fat storage.
* Cutting your daily calories so drastically you leave your body in starvation mode.
* Most plans require you to eat the same food over and over in a bid to be different from last month's routine. This also makes it tough to stick to as it's dull, meaning by next month you'll be off the rails...
This takes your weight loss nowhere fast. Usually people end up seeing a little weight loss for the endless hours of punishing their body and cutting out their favorite food, before sadly seeing the weight (and more) pile back on when they start eating regular food again.
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...
* Gossip.
* How to lose weight quickly.
* Celebrities not looking their best.
* Fashion.
You also have the d-list types who sell dvd's every Christmas showing how they dropped their belly fat over the summer months. Pay close attention to the people who do these, you'll notice around May or June they'll be featured in gossip magazines having piled weight back on again, and will release another dvd just in time for Christmas or New Year. This is a never ending cycle and the fact that the exerciser cannot keep the weight off all the year round shows the quick fix diet simply isn't effective.
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.
