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.
Be honest, we all know at least one friend who constantly gets sucked in by the latest routine printed in this month's chat magazine. It's hard not to, what with the instant results they claim and the fact that they have attached a famous person's photograph to conjure up images of how you will look next month if you follow their routine, right?
They often get stuck in a routine of jumping from one plan to the next looking for those instant results. There are tell tale signs:
* People experience some weight loss for the first one or two weeks before hitting a wall, unable to shift another lb no matter how hard they work at it.
* Feeling and looking ill, rather than well, despite losing weight.
* These plans create a yo-yo dieter, where the weight flies back on the second you return to eating normal food again. That's exactly what they want, too, as it means you'll be back in the future.
There are very simple and proven reasons why these things happen to your body.
As well as forcing you to ditch your favorite junk foods you'll often be asked to live on very basic, unappealing meals which drive you to the edge of your sanity. Couple this with the huge mistake of forcing you to drop your calories too far each day and it's a recipe for disaster.
You see, the effect of this sudden drop in calories forces your muscles to enter what we trainers refer to as Starvation Mode. Your body actually stores as much fat as it can to save energy.
When you are in this zone it becomes impossible to shift any more weight.
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.
