Contrary to what is expected, celebrities like Michelle Keegan and Elle MacPherson showing their perfect bodies do not inspire women to stick to their diet. In fact, more than half of the respondents (54per cent) say they are more likely to give up because they feel that they will never measure up.

 

According to a new study, a further 57per cent complained that even when they lose weight, they will not be happy with their pictures taken on a holiday because they will appear fatter that they had hoped. 

 

A spokesperson for Forza supplements, who commissioned the research, said: 'It’s no surprise that women find the "perfect" pictures of Michelle Keegan and other celebrities such as Elle MacPherson and Gwyenth Paltrow a bit depressing.

 

'How can real women, without personal trainers and macrobiotic diets, hope to compete?

 

'The truth is they can’t and they shouldn’t. They have far more important things to do like getting on with their careers and running their families.'
