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, trainer Russ Howe shows why these diets don't return great results and why they often leave you in a position worse than when you started.

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.

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...

* Cutting protein, carbs or fat out of your diet leaving you in 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.

The magazines can't be blamed for catering to their audience, however, and they realize that if they want to sell copies of their latest issue they need simply tick a few boxes and people will buy it...

* Celeb gossip.

* How to lose weight quickly.

* Famous people looking less than perfect.

* 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.
