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:
* 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.
* These plans create a yo-yo dieter, where the weight flies back on the second you return to eating normal food again. That's exactly what they want, too, as it means you'll be back in the future.
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.
What's more you will notice that you pile all of the weight you lost straight back on when your diet plan finishes. This is a combination of the effect we just discussed and the fact that the routine is usually focused around a very short, almost instantaneous weight loss goal.
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.
