We have all known at least one friend who is seemingly addicted to 'next big thing' celebrity diets, right? You know the ones, you see them in glossy women's gossip magazines each month promising quick weight loss results with seemingly no effort. Ever wondered why they don't work? Today you'll find out!
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.
Magazines know their audience. They target these routines at yo-yo dieters looking to get the quick way to look like their favorite famous actor or athlete.

To get results with your weight loss you must realize a few important things about how these celebrity diets work.
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....
* Chopping your carbs, protein or fats completely from your diet leaves you in a fat storage state, not a weight loss state.
* Cutting your daily calories so drastically you leave your body in starvation mode.
* Most plans ask you to eat the same food over and over again, which is not only dull for you but bad for your body.
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.
Magazines, of course, know their market. They know this type of stuff sells if they include a few certain things...
* Gossip.
* How to burn fat quickly.
* Celebrities not looking at their best, shall we say.
* 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.
