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.
Derivations from petrochemical waste products, which block absorption of healthy nutrients by your skin. 17 Tips on Creating a Home Bath Spa 5 Effective Strategies to Get Rid of Cellulite:
What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
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.
Before you throw in the towel or go under the knife or even purchase some elaborate, synthetic beauty product filled with acids and chemicals, try melting away inches of fat, smoothing fat deposits, and reducing inches by using natural products.

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...
I get massages every week and still i have cellulite!
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????
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

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!!!
