5 Effective Strategies to Get Rid of Cellulite

One day I was looking through the pictures in the photo album of my Granma, and was highly intrigued by the look of women’s bodies in that time. Women on the beaches of Florida and the Bahamas, often fashionably full-figured, DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF CELLULITE!

Cellulite is not specific to overweight people but excess weight may worsen the condition.

- Dr. Rob Oliver, Plastic Surgery 101

Trying to understand what has so dramatically changed in our environment and diet since those glorious times, I have studied piles of boring scientific literature and even interviewed my Granma and other happy old folks. And here are my discoveries!

4 Things That Cause Cellulite:

1. Estrogen overload

Women’s hormones are easily influenced by chemicals in food and medication, making fat cells change their structure and produce highly undesirable “orange peel” appearance:

Women’s bodies organize fat in connective tissue that runs perpendicular to their skin. This creates a “pulling down” effect that creates bumps in the skin’s surface or what you see as cellulite.

      I have a few questions:
      How are your eating habits and food choices?
      When you say you see very little results, do you mean with regard to your cellulite or your weight in general?

      You can’t get rid of cellulite through massage. They are thought to be caused by anything from hormonal factors, to genetics, diet, lifestyle, and other predisposing factors. I think at this point, there really isn’t ... See more any cure or treatment for cellulite. Massages can reduce the appearance of dimpling but they can’t get rid of the real problem (which is inside your body).

    I got rid of all my cellulite just by exercising. It really is that simple. Focus on interval cardio (15 – 30 mins) then exercises to firm problem areas. Do this 3 ... See more times a week and you’ll get rid of it. It also helps if you are not a complete pig and only eat as many calories as you need. It is not rocket science ladies – don’t be fooled by all of the quack “cures”.
