Can you honestly achieve good weight loss results following the latest celeb diet trends? It you are truthful that answer is no and today we show you exactly why.
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.
They often get stuck in a routine of jumping from one plan to the next looking for those instant results. There are tell tale signs:
* 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.
* 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.
You see, the effect of this sudden drop in calories forces your muscles to enter what we trainers refer to as Starvation Mode. Your body actually stores as much fat as it can to save energy.
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.
Secondly, these plans are often focused around quick fix goals which lead followers to pile the excess poundage back on the moment they go back to eating foods they haven't handled since they began the routine.
Time for some facts. When you are dieting properly you should not feel ill or deprived. You do not need to stop eating your favorite foods you simply need to be taught how to moderate them. We have helped countless men and women lose a ton of weight, none of whom had to stop eating junk food or cutting themselves away from nights out on the town. There is an entire culture out there prepared to take your hard earned cash with promises of easy success though, IF you are prepared to keep letting them do so.
