With so much pressure on appearance, it has become very fashionable in the weight loss world especially with celebrities to dabble in extreme and dangerous weight loss diets, food and calorie restriction when taken too far can be and is fatal. There is no real short cut to weight loss; it takes willpower, a bit of effort and a lot of dedication. But these fad diets supposedly offer very quick weight loss but at what cost?
A few examples of popular celebrity diets include:
The Maple Syrup Diet (The Master Cleanse Diet)
Beyonc' Knowles famously went on the Maple Syrup diet to lose weight for a film role, she ate no food just drank a beverage that consisted of maple syrup, lemons and cayenne pepper for 10 days and lost an incredible 20 pounds in two weeks. This is highly dangerous and crash dieting in this way which more than likely tricks your body into storing fat instead of burning it so the pounds will almost certainly pile back on as quickly as they fell off.
Raw Food Diet
This involves basically eating all raw food, even meat which is very risky indeed. Although some nutrients in food are destroyed by cooking, eating entirely raw food can cause kidney, liver problems, nausea and even eye infections. Demi Moore is reported to be a fan of this diet. But some components of fruits and vegetables are actually better absorbed by the body if cooked. Though you may lose weight in this way, the health implications of following this diet are not worth it.
Cabbage Soup Diet
The Cabbage Soup Diet basically means substituting all your meals for Cabbage Soup for a week and a dramatic weight loss is promised. Sarah Michelle Gellar is said to go on this diet from time to time. Side effects of this diet are slightly embarrassing, flatulence and the need to go to the toilet more frequently. You will lose weight but it will be mainly water and the second you stop the diet, the weight will pile back on again and probably a bit extra too.
The Macrobiotic Diet
Madonna swears by this diet which means eating mostly wholegrains, raw and cooked vegetables and miso soup which sounds quite healthy, but it is extremely limiting with such a lack of iron, calcium and protein it will leave you feeling lethargic, run down and could increase your chance of suffering from anaemia.
As you can see these celebrity diets do work, you will lose weight but by restricting your body of all the important vitamins and minerals you need for your body to function properly, your body will start to believe it is starving and will not only store the fat which will result in gaining weight but the health implications can sometimes be irreversible. It is best to stick to a sensible, healthy diet.
There are some celebrities that use weight loss methods that are safe and still effective. Jennifer Lopez and Brad Pitt swear by Capsiplex.
Capsiplex is a slimming pill that uses natural Capsicum extract to boost the speed of the metabolic rate which then burns more calories and more fat. The spicy pepper suppresses appetite and provides the body with energy.
By taking one Capsiplex pill a day, you are free to eat as you usually would, no calorie restrictions, no depriving yourself and you could lose between 1-2lbs a week for a much more sensible and gradual weight loss that will stay off.
