Losing weight is not impossible. See the following points which cover why these plans don't work long term and why they should be avoided.
First of all the celeb featured on the routine probably knows nothing about it at all, and is merely picked by the magazine to be the face of their latest issue in a bid to sell more copies. Second of all, the plan itself will have a few massive wrong turns...
* Chopping your carbs, protein or fats completely from your diet leaves you in a fat storage state, not a weight loss state.
* 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?
This takes your weight loss nowhere fast. Usually people end up seeing a little weight loss for the endless hours of punishing their body and cutting out their favorite food, before sadly seeing the weight (and more) pile back on when they start eating regular food again.
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 fat quickly.
* Celebrities not looking at their best, shall we say.
* Shopping tips.
You also have the d-list types who sell dvd's every Christmas showing how they dropped their belly fat over the summer months. Pay close attention to the people who do these, you'll notice around May or June they'll be featured in gossip magazines having piled weight back on again, and will release another dvd just in time for Christmas or New Year. This is a never ending cycle and the fact that the exerciser cannot keep the weight off all the year round shows the quick fix diet simply isn't effective.
The fact remains your body actually needs a good supply of protein, a good supply of carbohydrates and a good supply of fat in order to function properly. Learning how to control these three macro nutrients will help you to not only lose fat but also keep it off forever. No quick fixes, fad food diets or over complicated celebrity diet plans necessary.
