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.
* Despite losing some weight they often look and feel ill.
* Piling the excess pounds straight back on the second we go back to eating regular food again, often leaving us more overweight than when we started.
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.
Furthermore, the overall goal is usually a quick fix one or two month target. This adds to the other flaws and creates an effect where people find their body just piles the weight back on and more when they return to eating normally.
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.
