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 could name dozens of pals who have got messed around in the past following these routines. Often they are printed in glossy chat magazines and feature a famous body attached to an eating plan designed to give huge, unattainable results within a stupendously short period of time. They look too good to be true yet so many people still fall for them each month and get stuck in an endless 'get fit quick' cycle where they never actually get fit at all.
But then we see the same things happen over and over. Such as:
* After experiencing some results in the first couple of weeks people smack into a wall and find that they cannot lose weight no matter what they do.
* 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.
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.
This causes your body to enter starvation mode, where is literally stores as much fat as it can to preserve energy because it doesn't know when it's getting it's next meal.
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 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.
