Today we answer the question so many people ask in the gym. Why do celeb diets never work? Why do you always seem to never lose any weight no matter how hard you work? Today we put these myths to bed for you and help you get some actual results in the gym.
We all know somebody who has fallen victim to these at some point. Usually a friend will have seen them featured in a glossy gossip magazine and been blown away by how easy it looked and how much 'instant' weight loss was guaranteed.
It's common that folks will become addicted to the search for the 'miracle pill' which will allow them to get instant, zero effort results. That's where these guys make their money at your expense, or rather the fact that you may be a tad naive. There are simple common attributes these routines always feature:
* 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.
* Piling the excess pounds straight back on the second we go back to eating regular food again, often leaving us more overweight than when we started.
There are very simple and proven reasons why these things happen to your body.
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.
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.
This is why it becomes almost impossible to lose any more weight despite working harder and eating barely enough to survive...
Secondly, these plans are often focused around quick fix goals which lead followers to pile the excess poundage back on the moment they go back to eating foods they haven't handled since they began the routine.
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.
