One of the most feared words by any woman is cellulite. Cellulite is a particular type of fat that has found its way to millions of female buttocks and upper thighs. Unfortunately for those who have it, cellulite is one of the most unsightly forms of body fat. Its appearance can best be described as resembling cottage cheese.
The sad truth is that cellulite is extremely difficult to get rid of once it appears. Cellulite is a form of body fat but traditional fat loss methods usually don't get rid of it. Even when following a strict diet and exercise regimine, cellulite will most commonly stay around your thigh and butt area preventing you from achieving the smooth appearance you desire.
Several different factors can cause the unsightly fat we know as cellulite. This type of fat is most commonly found among women which is why some experts believe that the hormone estrogen could play a part in it's development. Other experts have suggested that toxins in the body can be a leading cause of cellulite and/or simply carrying too much fat in the butt or thigh regions or other affected areas.
I have recently interviewed an internationally respected plastic surgeon about the topic of cellulite. He has performed infinite liposuction surgeries on women who suffer from this type of fat so his opinion is helpful.
He strongly believes that the appearance of cellulite is caused by the flexibility of the connective tissue. So he basically believes that, if your connective tissue flexibility is compromised, your fat cells can bulge upwards to the surface of the skin, giving the area the classic cottage cheese look.
Whether the cause of cellulite is from estrogen or toxins it's clear that there is no consensus of opinion on the topic. I personally think that the cause of cellulite is genetics but perhaps one of the theories mentioned above or a combination is/are the actual culprit(s)
The good news is that whatever the precise cause may be, I have developed a multi-faceted approach to virtually blowtorch the cellulite right off your butt and thighs! My system addresses all of the potential causes of cosmetic hardship. Here it is in a simple, step-by-step format.
1) Improve your collagen/elastin ratio. The easiest way to do this is to increase the number of foods you eat which contain high levels of Vitamin C and bioflavonoids. Oranges, strawberries, blackberries, boysenberries, and green leafy vegetables are particularly good sources.
2) Rid your body of excess toxins. The simplest way to achieve this is to increase your water intake; ideally consuming half of your bodyweight in ounces each day.
3) Decrease the level of toxins entering your body. Some toxins are unavoidable such as pollutants in the air, but most are easily avoidable. Cutting back, or cutting out, alcohol, cigarettes and/or unneccesary medications can help.
4) Be aware of your estrogen levels. To do this, ensure you are consuming plenty of cruciferious veggies. What are cruiferious veggies you may ask? Try broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower--these contain something called I3C which is a substance proven to affect estrogen metobolism in a postive way-they can also help to remove toxins in the body.
5) Ensure fat loss is done the correct way. When you are facing a battle against cellulite, make sure you are treating it as you would any other fat loss. Doing so will ensure quick, long-lasting, results.
Start with these tips regarding your diet: When facing the cellulite battle, make sure your insulin levels aren't too high-when this occurs cellulite isn't being burned properly. By eliminating processed foods, red meats, and sugar you are setting youself up for success! Ridding yourself of these foods will keep your insulin in check..now onto exercise!
As you may know, "traditional" fat loss methods don't rid you of cellulite. This unfortunate truth is evident by the numerous aerobics instructors I have come to know who teach classes all week and STILL have unsightly cellulite. Although aerobic workouts are good for you, they are not best for cellulite removal.
Rather than focus all of your efforts on aerobic activity, incorporate high-intensity sprint training. Doing so will work your hamstrings and glutes while increasing your metabolism.
If you combine both high-intensity workouts with reistence exercises you'll stimulate lean muscle mass and are guaranteed to lose cellulite quickly. Some of my favorite resistance exercises are KB Swings, Band Good Mornings, and Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts which, when combined with your high-intensity workout will be a powerful remedy to combat cellulite.
Cellulite doesnt have to be a permanent part of who you are. Start this plan today and lose your cellulite forever!
