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.
