We are sure you've seen the countless celebrity diet plans in glossy gossip magazines, right? The ones which promise massive weight loss results just like your favorite actor or musician? Today we'll show you why they never work for long term weight loss and why they should be avoided.
Today, personal trainer Russ Howe walks you through why you should look to steer clear of these quick fix diets and shows why they don't actually yield successful results.
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.
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 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.
* 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.
You see, the magazines are smart with their marketing and they know that gossip magazines aimed at women must include a few of the following to sell....
* Gossip.
* How to burn fat quickly.
* Celebrities not looking their best.
* Shoes.
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.
The fact remains your body actually needs a good supply of protein, a good supply of carbohydrates and a good supply of fat in order to function properly. Learning how to control these three macro nutrients will help you to not only lose fat but also keep it off forever. No quick fixes, fad food diets or over complicated celebrity diet plans necessary.
