Every woman hates cellulite. God, I know I do!
The thing is not every woman knows what to do about their cellulite. The first trick is knowing what it actually is and how it forms.
Underneath your skin there is a thin layer of fat which is held in place by a honeycomb-like structure. When this strucutre breaks down or that fat increases it bulges outwards and causes the skin above to dimple.
So, what to do about it? Well, one of the main causes of cellulite is excess fat. But not all women who get cellulite are overweight. Some are actually very slim. For these girls there condition is caused by genetics and they are best to probably get specialized treament – more on that below.
For most of us, losing weight is the first step in learning how get rid of cellulite. The formula is therefore simple – eat less, move more. Get rid of bad foods, eat more of the good foods. Workout on both the weights and the cardio. Do it often as you can.
The trick is to stick to the routine. You can do it!
There are other cellulite treatments available as well. These include cellulite creams and lotions, radio therapy, laser therapy and body wraps. Cellulite creams are the most popular as they can be done at home. Self-massage where you try to flatten the fat and soften it up work well with cellulite cream.
Cellulite reduction isn’t easy. It takes a lot of effort to see results. If you can’t wait, there is always liposuction but you will then have to experience surgery – the results are fantastic though.
I had liposuction for my cellulite a little while ago. I have to say my treatment went well and I was really happy with the result. Maybe this is something you could explore but it isn’t for everyone, I know.
I have had several friends who swear by cellulite cream. I myself am a little skeptical. I do know that my cellulite reduced dramatically after I start eating better and working out more. I find that your should do weights plus cardio. The cardio reduces your fat content while the weights increase your muscles so you burn more calories during the day and the remaining cellulite has a firmer foundation. More muscles tone also means your skin is stretched more too, reducing the dimples.
I’ve known one or two women who went to a beauty spa to get cellulite body wraps done. There experience was that this cellulite treatment didn’t really work that well. But many spas swear by it. Maybe they’ve got the $$ in their eyes because it costs heaps and you have to keep going back.
My thought was to save all that money and just get liposuction done. Simple and easy. I still have to workout though and eat well, otherwise it comes back. But it was a lot quicker and easier than have all sorts of things done to my body.
Anyway, they’re my thoughts on cellulite.
