We have all known at least one friend who is seemingly addicted to 'next big thing' celebrity diets, right? You know the ones, you see them in glossy women's gossip magazines each month promising quick weight loss results with seemingly no effort. Ever wondered why they don't work? Today you'll find out!
Today, fitness instructor Russ Howe gives you the lowdown on why you should always avoid these quick fix type diets and reveals why they simply do not work.
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.

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...
* 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.
* Asking you to eat silly 'next big thing' foods and nothing else. Surely you'd be tired of eating nothing but salad for a month, right?
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....
* Celeb gossip.
* How to burn off their belly fat as quickly and easily as possible.
* Celebrities not looking their best.
* 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.
