Celebrity Magazine Diet Plans in 2012

By Russ Howe


We are sure you've seen the countless celebrity diet plans in glossy gossip magazines, right? The ones which promise massive weight loss results just like your favorite actor or musician? Today we'll show you why they never work for long term weight loss and why they should be avoided.

Today, trainer Russ Howe shows why these diets don't return great results and why they often leave you in a position worse than when you started.

Often targeted at serial dieters who desire to look like their favorite celebrity, there is little fact behind these fad diets and often people find they end up in a worse situation after their diet than when they started it.

Losing weight is not impossible. See the following points which cover why these plans don't work long term and why they should be avoided.

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 require you to eat the same food over and over in a bid to be different from last month's routine. This also makes it tough to stick to as it's dull, meaning by next month you'll be off the rails...

This leads you down a lonely, frustrating path. We all know someone who has attempted one of these quick fixes and usually they'll see a fast weight loss followed by feeling quite ill and then piling the weight back on almost immediately after finishing their plan and starting to eat normal food again. This creates the yo-yo dieter, the perfect customer for these monthly magazines to sell a new concept to every month.

The magazines can't be blamed for catering to their audience, however, and they realize that if they want to sell copies of their latest issue they need simply tick a few boxes and people will buy it...

* Gossip from Hollywood.

* How to burn fat quickly.

* Celebrities not looking at their best, shall we say.

* Shopping tips.

The other growing trend in this particular market is to release a Christmas weight loss dvd showing what workout routine helped this particular famous person to drop some pounds during the summer months. Usually they will all suffer from 'different' syndrome, the need to incorporate a gimmick such as Zumba or Bocra just to stand out from the rest releasing the same dvd's at the same time. Take a close look at who releases these materials. Notice how every June they are shown in gossip mags looking out of shape, and every New Year they have a new Keep Fit workout dvd on sale? It isn't coincidence, and it shows their diet isn't effective long term at all.

Your body needs protein, carbohydrates and fats to lose weight and build muscle. Simply learning the basics of how to diet will eliminate the need to get sucked into this gimmick filled, result barren wasteland of get fit quick celebrity diet plans.
