How To Lose Cellulite Rapidly

“Cellulite” is a frightening term to most women. It is the ugliest form of body fat which tends to appear on or around the upper thighs and buttocks area and is usually described as looking like cottage cheese.

But perhaps the worst thing about cellulite is that once it finds its way to your body, it is very difficult to get rid of. Even though it is essentially just body fat, it does not go away with normal fat loss methods. Instead, staring in the face of a solid diet and exercise routine, it stubbornly hangs on for dear life, refusing to give your butt and thighs the tight, smooth appearance you are working so hard to achieve.

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.

In an attempt to get some clarity on the real cause of this problem, I recently interviewed a world renowned plastic surgeon about his take on the topic. His opinion does carry some weight (pardon the pun) since he has performed countless liposuction procedures on women who suffer from this very problem.

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.

Since there is no consensus of opinion on this topic, it is clear that the true cause of cellulite is not fully understood by the scientific community. Perhaps one of the above theories is correct. Maybe its a combination of all of them. Personally, I am most comfortable attributing it to genetics.

Regardless of what the exact cause of cellulite formation may be, I have construced a fool-proof plan of attack against the much dreaded cosmetic nightmare! Here is my protocol in an easy to follow 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) Decrease levels of toxins in your body. The fastest way to do this is to up your water intake by consuming half of your bodyweight in ounces everyday.

3) Eliminate unneccesary toxins. Although some toxins just cannot be avoided (such as pollution) others can easily be eliminated from your body–and life. Drinking, smoking, and taking unneccesary medications are avoidable toxins you should be aware of and cutting back or cutting out of your daily routine.

4) Keep estrogen levels in check. Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables daily. Cruciferous vegetables such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage contain a substance named indole-3-carbinol (I3C). This substance has been shown to positively affect estrogen metabolism. In addition to this effect, these vegetables also assist in detoxifying the body.

5) Make sure you are losing fat the “right” way. If you are losing body fat the correct way then the unsightly appearance of cellulite will surely fade.

Lets start by addressing your diet. You should use a diet that doesnt allow your insulin levels to get too high. High insulin levels prevent cellulite from being burned, thus making your fat loss efforts much more difficult. To keep insulin levels in the optimal range, you should eliminate sugar, red meat and processed foods from your diet. Now lets address the exercise protocol.

Its no secret that traditional exercise does nothing to reduce cellulite. In a desperate attempt to lose cellulite, most people perform daily aerobic workouts. Ive actually known aerobic instructors who teach 6-8 classes per day and still have that stubborn cellulite. This is obviously not the most effective approach.

Instead, you should engage in high-intensity sprint training. Sprinting works the hamstrings (back of the legs) and glutes effectively while elevating your metabolism a great deal.

A powerful workout program should also include resistance exercises. If you are stimulating lean muscle you will be able to lose cellulite quickly. There are so great resistance exercises out there but some of my favorites are Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts, and Band Good Mornings.

Cellulite doesnt have to be a permanent part of who you are. Start this plan today and lose your cellulite forever!
