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.
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.
Firstly, the celeb featured in the plan usually has nothing to do with it. They've been picked as a flavor of the month face for the latest quick fix by a magazine. Secondly, the plans themselves often have a few serious errors...
* Cutting protein, carbs or fat out of your diet leaving you in a state of fat storage.
* 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.
Magazines, of course, know their market. They know this type of stuff sells if they include a few certain things...
* Gossip.
* How to lose weight quickly.
* Celebrities not looking at their best, shall we say.
* Shoes.
And it sells, so you have to expect it will continue. You also have the DVD crowd, D-listers who issue a yearly keep fit dvd showing how they dropped their weight over the summer. Take note of the pictures of those same people every May, shown in the magazines we have already covered, and you'll see that they piled the weight back on every single time. Clearly the diet plan wasn't solid. And, furthermore, releasing a yearly dvd is proving a good financial move for them. Don't put yourself in a position of becoming addicted to this way of life because it will halt your weight loss.
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.
