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 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.
* Despite losing some weight they often look and feel ill.
* Weight is quick to go straight back on when you finish your plan and return to eating regular food again.
Why does this happen? Today we will explain it for you. There are a few reasons for this.
While forcing you to abstain from your favorite junk foods is a huge dieting mistake, the number one flaw in these routines is often that they simply drop the daily calorie intake way too far way too fast. This sets you up for failure right from the get go.
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 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.
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 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.
