The appearance of cellulite is caused by fat deposits created due to the accumulation of toxins, water and of
course fats. This is what makes it much harder to burn than other fat on your body. In order to live a cellulite-free life you need to address these 3 reasons for orange skin, as cellulite is also referred to.
Obviously, a cellulite cream or any other topical solution will not suffice; instead you can use one as a supplement to boost your efforts. What should these efforts be?
As I said cellulite is caused by the build-up of toxins, fats and excess water retention. This means that by finding the best ways to detoxify, burn fat and free your body of excess water, you will be on your way to getting rid of cellulite for good.
Step 1 – The Lifestyle
The first and most important step is to change your lifestyle.
Limiting your exposure to toxins is among these lifestyle changes. This means that you may need to stay away from processed and sugary foods, try to use all natural household products, drink less alcohol, quit smoking and other activities that may cause toxic build-up. Furthermore, eating foods with detoxifying properties like high fiber foods, raw fruits and veggies, and drinking plenty of water will also help eliminating the waste in your system. But more on diet in the next step.
Another crucial lifestyle change is adding the proper type of exercises and performing them at least 3 times a week. The right type of exercises will help burn the fats and tone the tissue in the affected areas. They will also help fight stress, which also causes the accumulation of toxins in your body. More on working out in step 3.
The third important thing you need to take care of is stress. Finding a way to release stress can really help you get rid of cellulite and improve your overall health. Many people do this by meditating; however, the key is not in doing what works for others, but what works for you. Just think about what made you happy and relaxed the last time. It may be that this is your best stress relief “medication” and that you should find a way to fit it in your busy schedule on a regular basis.
Step 2 – The Diet
This is a crucial step to winning the war against cellulite. The proper anti-cellulite diet can help all 3 components of the cellulite treatment.
First, as mentioned above, eating the right foods can boost detoxification and skipping the wrong foods can prevent toxic build-up in the first place.
The right foods (those that you need to consume in order to detox) include apples, citrus fruits, beetroot, ginger, basil, parsley, pineapples, nuts, onion, garlic, cinnamon, avocados, berries, legumes and other high fiber foods.
The wrong foods (the ones that contain toxins) include refined flour, sodas, processed salt, “fat-free” foods, GMOs, foods that contain high-fructose corn syrup and others unnatural foods. As far as drinking goes you can add green tea and increase water consumption.
Second, the right diet will get the right results in terms of reducing your body fat percentage.
Consuming a good amount of lean protein and healthy fats will improve your metabolism and turn your body into a fat burning machine. The best sources of protein include lean meats like chicken and turkey breast, egg whites, legumes and seafood. A good rule of thumb is that 40-50% of your daily calorie intake should come from lean proteins, especially if you are working out.
The so called healthy fats are the ones that are good for you and are also known as monosaturated and polysaturated. You can find these in olive oil, avocados, nuts, seafood, flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and others. These fats should account for up to 20% of your daily calorie intake.
The other 30-40% should come from carbs- mainly complex. There are two basic types of carbs- complex and simple. Generally the simple carbs are sugars and you should keep them low, and make sure that they come from natural sources such as fruits. The complex carbs are the ones that come from your veggies, nuts and grains, and are divided into two groups – fiber and starch. The starch is contained in potatoes, rice and lentils, while foods high in fiber include dark leafy greens, broccoli, avocados, squash, berries and others. As mentioned, fiber has a detox effect, and also it keeps you full for longer so the better part of your complex carbs should come from fiber.
The third way improving your diet will help fight cellulite is by reducing water retention. There are certain foods known as natural diuretics. These foods act to flush the water deposits and restore your body’s fluid balance. Great natural diuretics are carrots, beets, lemons, dark leafy greens, apples, and foods high in potassium like spinach, bananas and potatoes.

Step 3 – The Workout
Workouts have a two-pronged effect against cellulite. First they promote fat burning and second they tone the muscles and the tissue which decreases the appearance of cellulite. In fact, muscle atrophy is one of the main reasons for fat to be distributed in deposits that cause the dimpled effect of cellulite.
However, doing just any exercises won’t do the job. Most people think that endless cardio will reduce cellulite, but the fact is that you need specific, laser targeted exercises in order to do that. You need to target the areas where cellulite most commonly “hangs out”. These areas include the thighs, buttocks and hips. Exercises that will do the job include around the clock lounges, goblet squats, single leg Romanian deadlifts, single leg supine hip extension and burpees. Click here to find out how to do these exercises (videos).
Incorporate these exercises into a workout which you can do at home, outdoors, in the gym or wherever you find appropriate and do it at least 3 times a week. If you are not slackin’ you should be done in around 30 minutes. You can do it everywhere and it only takes a small part of your day a few days a week? You can’t really find excuses this time!
These 3 steps are all you need in order to be on the path to a cellulite-free life. As I said, cellulite creams, massages and other treatments are not the key, they can only be used as a supplement in order to improve results. Ultimately it all boils down to living healthy with a few special anti-cellulite tweaks added.
