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.

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.

- Roselee Stehle

2 Consumption of Wrong Types of Fats

The metabolism of women's bodies is disrupted by consumption of trans-fats and processed vegetable oils.

3 Lack of Essential Fatty Acids in the Diet

Which are found in fish, butter from grass-fed cows and gouts, and tropical oils.

4 Use of Lotions Containing Mineral Oils

Derivations from petrochemical waste products, which block absorption of healthy nutrients by your skin.

5 Effective Strategies to Get Rid of Cellulite:

1 Eat Only Right Fats

Never use cheap oils and any of the junk foods containing them. When cooking, use butter or unprocessed coconut oil. Put only extra-virgin olive oil or organic sour cream in your soups and salads.

When you do not eat enough fiber and cellulite is a problem, your diet may contain more of the foods that can cause cellulite. Any salty or fatty foods will go straight to your hips and thighs if you do not use fiber to prevent this from happening.

Fiber acts like a scrub brush for the body. Fiber will improve circulation and improve your skin's appearance from the inside out.
- John Degram, Cellulite Treatment

2 Include Duck and Oysters in Your Menu

Both are highly praised in traditional French cuisine for their skin-smoothing and aphrodisiac properties.

3 Stay Away from

Any foods containing unfamiliar substances in the list of ingredients:

For an anti-cellulite diet to be effective, changes must be made and toxins must be stricken from the diet. It's important to know that cellulite stems from numerous sources; the greatest of which being toxins and calories from "harmful" foods.

These toxins and calories get stored in your body's fat storage cells, which eventually leads to the accumulation of cellulite. By removing and keeping these toxins out of your system, you can potentially avoid cellulite build-up.

Like organic massage oils:

Dee The problem is that most of us don't even realize that cellulite is only word. It's not even a substance or a thing per se. The only thing to reverse the cause of the dimples and shadows is with the right TYPE of exercise movements. Just look for the free 'truth about cellulite' video from joey atlas. Hopefully more women will see it and learn what to do, like I did. ~ Dee
Anne Great article and comments! I'm going to try a wet washcloth , then add olive oil and add used coffee grounds in the center,,,gather the edges and massage in circular motion after a hot shower. Wish me luck! :)
Anonymous Im confused... Many ppl say that exercise wont improve cellulite. I been working out 7 months and see no improvements. However, I just recently about 3 weeks ago started eating healthy. My cellulite is really bad. Help please. Does exercise really work?
- Anonymous Hi Thanks 4 response. So u personally would say to keep working out. I been working out for 7 months & see very little resuls. I dont know if 7 months is still little time, but im Very desperate now. My cellulite is really bad. I dont wear shorts or anything
peachy I get massages every week and still i have cellulite!
- Denise 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 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).
Debbie What about estrogen overload! I am 53 and use estrogen patches and progesterone cream. I tried to get off my estrogen and started losing my hair on my head and getting hair on my face , I am not overweight and I run 20 miles a week and workout with weights. But my cellulite is getting horrible! Any ideas I am going to try honey ! Deb
Sally 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 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".
- Anonymous Do you eat healthy? Did you get rid of eat or just built more muscle and now cellulite dont show?
Me So what is the best way to get rid of cellulite on my bvm?
caramel I had cellulite aprox. 1 year ago! Even I was exercising & eating quite healthy, it just appeared:( The only reason I found was that I was using birth control pills. Anyway, now to the good point! I get rid of it! How? By having honey massage every second day! You can do it at salon, or at home by yourself (or - ask your friend to help!). I did it at home, so here will be, how! You'll need honey (the liquid one), which you massage into palms. Then push your palms to the cellulite area and take them off with rapid moves, do like that for approx.30 min. (every second day for 2 month). It might be quite painful, but it is worth it! I have no more cellulite (also when I squeeze the skin)! good luck!
Sheeva I also forgot to mention that taking your daily vitamins and or supplements helps you to absorb the nutrients in your foods.
Sheeva Hi everybody just wanted to chime in and say that the only way to go is fresh organic foods in all forms if possible, When I eat this way I stay so slim with very little exercise I wasn't "skinny fat" either I was well toned because my body was getting all the nutrients it needed size 3 four days after having my second child you take baby weight off easily with this type of diet also. I am no physician but this is what worked for me and i am full of energy all the time. The key is listening to your body and it's needs you "eat to live not the other way around only eat when you begin to feel a little hungry not when your starved and will grab anything that is quick in sight preferably an organic piece of fruit from the frige and it's okay to eat more that one piece of fruit, would you rather a banana, plum, honeydew slice for less than 50 calories or a bag of chips for 175 calories with no nutrients and saturated fat collecting up as cellulite on your thighs. I also have an exercise routine that I follow rigorously I don't play around with jiggly thighs you must fit this in, you must burn more calories than you consume which is relatively easy if you have an organic diet, you burn 200 just sitting around breathing, heart pumping and taking in this atmosphere. If your calorie intake is a little higher than yesterday then work out a little more today if your sedentary than your only burning the 200 you need for survival.It's like this your already burning 200 calories just living now say you want to lose 10 pounds and I'm just counting 1 pound of fat=3,500calories IF you consume I'd say 1,500 calories of whole foods then each time did something to burn it off you would actually telling your body how much fat to burn, every time you eat you signal your body to burn the fuel you've just consumed so that is what you must do use the fuel. Use the 1,500 you've consumed to burn and you can easily gently and naturally lose a pound of fat once a week, that means it would only take 1month and a week to lose 10 pounds isn't that quick! You won't continuously feel hunger because you will provide your body with everything it needs organic whole fats and oils and butters, antioxidant, fiber, rich phytonutrient rich your b-12 vitamins your iron fiber minerals and everything else. Sorry for rambling for so long but I love it.
Shelley I hadn't gained a pound when I started developing cellulite. I wasn't overweight to begin with, either. I tried different types of lotions, serums, massagers, etc... I even tried anti cellulite shorts. What finally worked for me was exercise. I really didn't have to change my eating habits.
lora eating
jo i believe that the best detoxing for getting rid of cellulite is to drink plenty of water, also using body lotion daily and really massaging it into your problem areas will increase sluggish circulation and fluid retention. also regular exercise and a healthy diet is the obvious one, but not always the easy option. the best way to help prevent a build up of cellulite is to eat as least processed foods/fluids as possible. hope this helps!
lunic512 um i have a chunky buddy i've tried to loose weight but it is kinda difficult or i have'nt tried 100% but i realy hate the cellulite on my legs its not horrific but it is'nt atractive either...so do u know if body butter helps in any way????
Melissa Most articles about cellulite treatments are so generic. Not this one. I loved it! You even got it right about the butter!! Thanks for giving me some more material to add to my case on cellulite...
- Sheila Hey Melissa, thanks a lot for the appreciation. glad that you liked the post. Do keep coming back!
Theo yea! I read so in the post...I had no idea :(
Theo Tyra banks did a show on that and showed a bunch of creams. Do you think those are very effective? I don't want to waste money. Also, I didn't know that some creams actually caused this. How outrageous! :(
- Sheila Hey Theo, I wouldn't really know much of them personally, but I would trust tyra on it. Not that she would be an expert on it, but I really doubt she'd risk losing her credibility over a couple of creams! Some creams do cause it!?? wow that IS outrageous!
Beau I read online that actually using caffeine and rubbing it on your cellulite can help. Mix wet coffee grinds with olive oil. I learned the hard way you can't keep it in the fridge for later though!!!
