Nearly all women know how stressful having dimply, unsightly cellulite rippling across your bum and legs can be. And it’s fact that this irritating stuff is very difficult to remove. However, by exercising regularly and eating an anti-cellulite diet, not only can you help remove, or at least improve the condition of your body, you can also give yourself a new lease on life, improving everything from your hair and skin to your sanity.

You Are What You Eat

Cellulite is basically fat that has a dimply appearance due to poor circulation, diet and / or hormonal imbalances, most commonly seen in women of Western society. And if you look at the staple diet of this culture, you can see that in general it is excessive and full of refined carbohydrates (such as cakes and pies), fats (and mostly “bad” or saturated fats) with few vitamins and minerals. So by incorporating a “cleaner”, anti cellulite diet, along with incorporating regular exercise, not only will you lose weight, tone up and reduce the look of your cellulite, you’ll be pleased to see a number of other health benefits come your way.

Look And Feel Better

By eating an anti cellulite diet, you’ll be improving body circulation, inducing “feel good” hormones, improving coordination and flexibility, reducing stress and hence blood pressure levels, heightening your body’s immunity to fight disease and illness, not too mention looking and feeling terrific! By eating the recommended intake of vitamins and minerals, you’ll have improved skin, hair and nails, as well as giving you a zest for life that you never knew you had.

What to Eat

A typical anti-cellulite diet should consist of plenty of water (to find out how much, halve your body weight in pounds to give you your daily intake in ounces), an abundance of fresh vegetables (try to make your plate “colorful”), lean protein with every meal (such as tuna, chicken or lean red meat) as well as a small amount of “good” fats and oils, as these are great for skin and nails.

An example of lunch in an anti cellulite diet would include a large, leafy green salad with capsicum, sprouts, tomato, cucumber and carrot, mixed with ¼ avocado and a tin (100 – 180g) of water-packed tuna, with half a cup of brown rice. An anti cellulite diet should also consist of eating around 6 – 8 small meals per day, as opposed to 3 large ones. This will help speed your metabolism and circulation, helping you to burn more fat and shedding more cellulite along the way.
