In 2012, there is a growing trend of becoming addicted to celebrity diets which simply do not work. You know the ones we are talking about, right? You've probably seen them in glossy gossip magazines each month and maybe even considered trying them from time to time.
Today, personal trainer Russ Howe walks you through why you should look to steer clear of these quick fix diets and shows why they don't actually yield successful results.
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.
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 intake of fats, protein or carbs actually makes it harder to lose weight by putting your body into 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...
The thing about these plans is you'll find you end up heavier and more out of shape than before you started it. Usually the fast weight loss of the first two weeks is offset by a huge weight gain in the coming weeks, this is the making of a yo-yo dieter.
You see, the magazines are smart with their marketing and they know that gossip magazines aimed at women must include a few of the following to sell....
* Gossip.
* How to burn fat quickly.
* Famous people looking less than perfect.
* Fashion.
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.
