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:
* 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.
* When you lose weight you are supposed to feel better within yourself. The poor, quick fix structure of these plans often leaves users feeling the opposite.
* 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.
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 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.
What's more you will notice that you pile all of the weight you lost straight back on when your diet plan finishes. This is a combination of the effect we just discussed and the fact that the routine is usually focused around a very short, almost instantaneous weight loss goal.
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.
