Cellulite Diet

Weight loss is one of the major contributing factors of elimination of cellulite because the less you weigh, the less cellulite you have and so the less noticeable it is. And a cellulite diet can help with weight control AND general health as well.

Exercise is also a vital step in removing cellulite, but without dietary control, it won’t help at all.

You see, cellulite is on the inside, so the food you consume is vitally important. As your diet was the major contributor to your cellulite, it’s also a major contributor of getting rid of it.

As you learn more about cellulite and all the products and treatments available, you’ll find that none can get rid of cellulite completely. Only a good cellulite diet and regular exercise can rid you of it – for good!

Begin at the Beginning
Cellulite is formed when you have excess fat in your body. Your tissues are squeezed together which makes the fat deposits bulge under your skin. The fat also collects and stores toxins so your cellulite is slowly poisoning you without you even noticing.

To eliminate these poisons and get rid of cellulite you will have to detoxify your body, paying special attention to your liver and colon.

During detoxification you need to cut out ALL of the following foods –

~ all fried and roasted foods
~all red meat
~alcohol
~chips
~chocolate
~caffeine
~dairy products
~margarine
~pies, tarts & pasties
~anything containing sugar
~tinned fruit
~pizza
~mayonnaise & salad dressings

At the same time you are eliminating these foods, drink plenty of water to help flush out your system. But do not drink water or any liquids during a meal, because they will dilute your digestive juices, and they need all the help they can get at the moment.

And remember to drink little and often rather than in large bursts. If you find water to boring to drink all the time, try herbal teas from your health food store.

Diuretics
Your fatty cellulite deposits are also full of stored water which needs to be eliminated. For this you’ll need to eat foods that are natural diuretics, that is, they remove stored water from your cells.

Some of the most common foods that are natural diuretics are apples, cabbage, leeks, onions, broccoli, watercress, grapes and pineapple.

You can also use diuretic herbs in your cooks such as cumin, sage, fennel and thyme.

Stubborn Fat
Cellulite is a very stubborn fat to remove so you can help to burn it off by eating iodine, which is a very powerful, yet natural, fat-burner.

Eat plenty of iodine-rich foods such as bananas, artichokes, carrots, brown rice, garlic, grapes, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, rhubarb, spinach, turnip, strawberries and egg yolk.

Seaweed contains high amounts of iodine so eating sushi can help.

Try following a cellulite diet for just 7 days and you’ll be amazed at the difference in not just how you look, but how you feel.

And you’ll look and feel great.
