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 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.
But then we see the same things happen over and over. Such as:
* Quick weight loss for around one week followed by hitting a brick wall and not being able to lose any more weight no matter how much you try.
* Feeling and looking ill, rather than well, despite losing weight.
* Weight is quick to go straight back on when you finish your plan and return to eating regular food again.
Why does this happen? Today we will explain it for you. There are a few reasons for this.
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 why it becomes almost impossible to lose any more weight despite working harder and eating barely enough to survive...
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.
