Celebrity Weight Loss Is Nothing More Than A Scam
There are plenty of celebrity weight loss stories for to you read about in all the latest celebrity magazines. These are stories of how this celebrity or that one lost a bunch of weight following a healthy diet and exercise program.
Do you honestly believe this stuff? Give me a break!
When you picture celebrity weight loss, you visualize a previously plump or pudgy celebrity who has suddenly become svelte, trim, and sexy. It seems to have happened overnight.
The headlines read, “Amazing Celebrity Weight Loss” and “How She Lost 20 Lbs in 20 Days!!” or “How He Bulked Up For His Latest Role!” or some other nonsense. These headlines are usually followed by some outrageous claim of how this celebrity ate nothing but chicken and celery and worked out for two hours per day, six days per week.
The results seem self explanatory. There they are with their abs on display, and muscles gleaming on the cover of some magazine. And they seem to have done practically overnight with the help of some mystical celebrity weight loss plan.
The magazines will usually give you just enough information to make you believe you can do it too, and you’ll gladly purchase their publication.
But, let’s think about it for a moment. Let’s use a bit of logic to dissect these celebrity weight loss stories.
It’s difficult to believe that these wealthy, self-absorbed, and lazy celebrities spend time “eating” right and exercising. Sure hey have to look good all of the time. Their livelihood depends on it, so don’t you think that they would use everything at their disposal to do it? Their “real” celebrity weight loss includes visiting the plastic surgeon for a little nip tuck. After all, consider human nature.
Humans love shortcuts. If you can afford that short cut, wouldn’t you take it? Now let me pose two possibilities.
With the first option, you spend thousands of dollars, a few hours under the knife, and a couple of weeks to heal, and then you’re sexy, fit and youthful.
With option two, you can achieve similar results as option one, but you have to eat what amounts to nothing more than rabbit food. Then, you have to work out intensely using weights and cardio. You then have to wait several months to see any appreciable results.
Given those two options and unlimited monetary funds, which route would you take?
Most of you would opt for option one. Admit it. After all, anyone can do option two and you don’t need to be a celebrity, nor spend a lot of money to do it. And yet, very few actually do.
Just ask yourself why there aren’t more fit people? Why are we suffering from an obesity epidemic?
The answer is human nature.
We want to believe in celebrity weight loss, and that a short cut exists to our most intense wants. We want a shortcut to getting rich. We want a shortcut to being popular. We want a shortcut to being thin. Those are qualities we attribute to celebrities.
We want to read about celebrity weight loss, and actually believe it. If they did it, can’t we do it too? After all, everything they did to lose weight is written right there in black and white for anyone to follow.
There are no mentions of surgeries. In fact, most celebrities will outright deny ever having had surgery. Instead, they’ll tout their very own celebrity weight loss plan as the secret to their success.
Of course, we know better. Celebrity weight loss is a scam perpetrated by the publishing industry to sell more magazines. That’s not to say that all celebrities “cheat” by having surgery, and then claiming to practice self control, and discipline. I’m sure there are some legit celebrities that are practicing good healthy habits, and they have bodies to prove it.
But, I would venture to say that most celebrity weight loss plans include surgery, but you’ll never read about it. Very few of them will admit it. Don’t be fooled.
