How Do You Get Rid of Cellulite?


Cellulite is really only a glammed up word for fat. It is specifically excess fat that expands and pushes against the connective tissue of your skin. This is what creates the infamous dimpled "cottage cheese" appearance. Cellulite is the result of excess body fat that, in women, tends to collect in hormone targeted areas such as the butt, thighs, hips and stomach. Because women have a higher body fat percentage than men, cellulite is more noticeable.

How Do You Get Rid of Cellulite?
Because of the way it's structured, cellulite can be much harder to eliminate than other forms of fat (see the picture above). Even supermodels have cellulite - it's just harder to see through all that computerized airbrushing.

You can get rid of cellulite by adopting a healthier style of eating. Replace processed junk foods with fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains. Limit your total fat consumption. Eat only "healthy" fats such as raw nuts, avocados and extra virgin coconut oil or olive oil. Limit your daily caloric intake to a healthy amount for your size and lifestyle. The average woman will need 1200-1600 calories per day depending on her height, weight and activity level. Take a multi-vitamin, and drink a minimum of 2 liters of water every day.

Exercise is Important!

While a change in diet will get you about 70-80% of the way to your goals, don't discount the value of exercise in helping to get rid of cellulite. The best option is a combination of strength training and cardio.

If you're forced to choose between strength training and cardio because you're pressed for time, ALWAYS opt for strength training! Muscle is more metabolically active and burns more calories even when you're just sitting around.

Foods That Get Rid of Cellulite


If you're trying to get rid of cellulite, one of the first questions you should ask is, "What foods should I eat to get rid of cellulite?"

It's true, some foods are just better than others at helping the body dislodge the fat and cellulite that accumulates on you hips, buttocks and thighs. Here is a short list of power foods that get rid of cellulite.

These vegetables and fruits should be on the top of your list to eat every day. The best option is to eat them raw, juiced
or as a smoothie


Carrots
Spinach
Curly Leaf Parsley
Cucumber
Celery
Watercress
Lemon
Grapefruit
Pineapple
Grape
Beet
Cantaloupe
Watermelon

I don't recommend that you try to eat every single thing on the list every day, but eat 3-5 on a daily basis rotating them for variety.

Here is an easy recipe to get you on your way. It not only helps get rid of cellulite, but is an excellent combination for removing PMS water retention.

Use a juicer
and juice the following in this order:

5-10 sprigs of Parsley (Begin with the smaller amount as the juice is strong)
Small handfull of watercress
2 stalks celery
2 carrots
1 cucumber
1 lemon

To the combination above, juice either grapes or pinapple until the mixture tastes sweet enough for you to drink. DO NOT ADD SUGAR .

If you have a smoothie maker
you can use the same recipe with even greater benefit as you will be keeping the fiber from all the vegetables and fruit.
