Cellulite detox
There are many possible reasons for cellulite to appear. Besides the inherited affinity to accumulating cellulite, our habits play a huge role. What we do, eat, and even how we feel, may have affect.
There are some food that might be helpful for getting rid of cellulite, but it's also useful to know what food you should avoid to prevent cellulite.
Basically, you should avoid too sugary and too oily food. Everything super processed is bad. Deep fried - don't even think about it. List goes on, but I'm sure you catch my drift. :)
For the detox part, on one hand you have to reduce the input of said food, and on the other hand, you should try implementing as much fruit, vegetables, unrefined and even raw food.
Especially good for detox are teas (like green tea), but don't add sugar, use honey instead. Also, juiced fruit like grapefruit, oranges and lemons, (or all of them together!) are really great.
It's nice to make a "detox day" at least once a month. Menu for such day would tipicaly look like this:
Breakfast (in early morning)
Juiced grapefruit (pure, no sugar, lots!)
Yogurt (instead for looking at the supermarket for the low fat one, try your luck at farmers market with some home made organic yogurt)
Bananas
Lunch
Soup (just veggies, no pasta, no cream)
Raw salad (sprouts, avocado)
Juiced fruit
Dinner (at least few hours before you go to sleep)
Green tea with honey
During the day (between the meals)
Green tea (or some other kind) - few cups
Fruit - apples, pineapples, grape, citrus, ...
Raw vegetable - tomatoes, cucumber, celery, ... (anything that could be eaten raw)
This is just one example, you could try many variations. Also, remember - it is "detox day" - after one day of detoxification you should continue with a normal diet.

Cellulite and pregnancy
Could pregnancy induce more cellulite? Well, you'll surely gain some weight - that should not worry you; 80% of that newly gained weight you'll lose in the first few months after the birth. The good news is, you have no reason to think that you'll be more prone to cellulite during pregnancy than in any other period of your life.
However, pregnant or not, cellulite is something that is easier to prevent and cure.
While pregnant, many diverse methods of getting rid of cellulite can not work for you - you can not go on a diet, use any kind of "magical" pills (which I would not recommend anyway), go to arduous treatments, etc.
Here's the list of things you could do, easily at your home, for preventing and reducing cellulite while pregnant:
1. Walk. If there is no complication with your pregnancy, or not advised by your doctor otherwise, walking is a good way of preventing and reducing cellulite. It's recommended to walk for at least half an hour a day, but if you have enough time, even 2 or 3 hours a day would be great.
2. Massage. This specially goes for those areas already affected with cellulite.
3. Relax & enjoy. It's seriously considered that one causes of cellulite is stress. Pregnancy might be stressful for some, so try to enjoy in good sides of it. For relaxation you might use some steamy baths with salts, oils and essential oils like lavender, orange, grapefruit, rosewood, ... . Here you can check the list of home made cellulite remedies!
4. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. They contain necessary vitamins and minerals, as well as dietary fibers. Some of the best fruits for preventing cellulite are grapes, banana and pineapple.
5. Drink lots of water, unsweetened tea, juiced fruit like orange, grapefruit, yogurt.
These might sound a bit simplistic, but the hard part is making it all a habit. Simply said, there is no miracle, sophisticated, complicated way of preventing and getting rid of cellulite, but simply doing your best to adopt these habits as much as possible.

Affordable ways to reduce cellulite
Q: Are there any affordable ways to reduce cellulite?
I realize cellulite is merely fat, but aren't there treatments that can help compress or smooth the appearance of cellulite? I am not overweight, and I exercise regularly. Other than dieting down from a size 6 to a size 1, aren't there any affordable products or home remedies that can help? It's not unbearably hideous, but it does make me reluctant to wear shorts in public.
Incidentally, I've tried cellulite creams, but most are too expensive for me to use on a daily/nightly basis. I've noticed that caffeine and seaweed are frequent ingredients in cellulite creams, however. Are there any home remedies involving caffeine that might help?
A: You've got it all right - the dieting (not starving!, but choosing wisely what to eat), exercising and using good, cheap and effective home remedies will help you to reduce cellulite.
You can find here:
Feel free to look around, and find even more useful advices. Good luck!
Difference between cellulite and stretch marks
Q: What's the difference between cellulite and stretch marks?
I have white marks at the top of my thighs - I can't tell if their stretch marks of cellulite. Their white, as mentioned, and they protrude slightly.
Could someone clear this up for me as I need to know so that I can find a cream to reduce the visible appearance!
A: That what you're describing is stretch marks. Cellulite is often described like orange peel like skin or cottage cheese. It's dimpled, and you can see little bumps and lumps on skin.
Picture of stretch marks (although those ones are pretty strong):
Picture of cellulite:
You cannot completely cure stretch marks, but you can make them less visible by using body lotions and oils. That is also the way to prevent further stretch marks to appear. Also, if they bother you too much, you can have them treated with laser.
If you're worried about cellulite, too, here's the list of food that helps fighting cellulite.
For reducing cellulite, as well as for losing weight I recommend you to do these things:

For reducing cellulite, as well as for losing weight I recommend you to do these things:
- Walk, swim, run, dance...
- Exercise at least half an hour a day
- Drink lots of water - improves blood circulation, makes cellulite less visible
- Eat health food - you can check more on the above link
- Brush and massage - also makes cellulite less visible, helps removing it, boosts circulation and skin looks healthier
- Moisturize your skin
- Take cold showers
- Relax - stress could also cause cellulite accumulation
And avoid doing these things:
- Junk food - it has "bad" calories (your body is not able to use them up, instead it stores them in form of fat, and fat becomes cellulite if pushed away from cells)
- Alcohol, cigarettes - generally they're very bad for your skin tone, and improve the appearance of cellulite. Alcohol also dehydrates your body.
- Physical inactivity - less physically active you are more calories don't end up burned but stored. Also inactivity makes your circulation worse, and so cellulite can form more easily.
- Tight clothes - those are not good for your blood and lymph circulation, so avoid them if possible.
Cocoa butter for cellulite and stretch marks
Q: What does cocoa butter do to cellulite and stretch marks?I just bought some cocoa butter and put some on on my knees, behind my knees, and on the bottom of my butt. Does coca butter do anything to stretch marks and cellulite for who, who has tried it? How long are the results going to take to show?
A: Cocoa butter contains natural antioxidant, thus is good to be applied on your skin. Whether it could influence cellulite removal is not clear. Cocoa butter is in use by many pregnant women in order to prevent stretch marks, and proved to be useful.
For its smoothness, nice smell, high antioxidant level and convenient temperature of melting, it has been often used in body creams.
What makes a good cellulite diet?
Experts claim that proper nourishment is a main solution for cellulite. So, what that means is that you should change your dietary habits to a more natural, healthier food.
This is what your diet should look like:
- Balanced and proper nourishment rich with vitamins, minerals and fibers.
- Liquid - 2,5 liters of water a day - to make the elimination of the toxins easier.
- Avoid smoking, sweets, sugar added drinks and alcohol.
- Avoid salt.
- Blueberry and pineapple juice - especially recommended for those whose bodies seem to retain many liquid.
- Consider consuming food additives - like multivitamins and minerals.
- Especially those who contain extracts of birch-tree, marshmallow and ginkgo balboa - those improve substance transition, induce circulation and lymph drainage, and reduce fat.
- Vitamin C induces creation of collagen, so the skin will be toned.
Things you can start doing about cellulite - TODAY!
There are some things in cellulite prevention and reduction you can already start doing, as they take no big preparations, or money, or free time, but only your good will.
First, to begin with, you should be optimistic. It is something you can and will solve. After all, it really is not a big deal - it's an aesthetic problem. Just for a little part of story it would be more healthy to have less cellulite than more. Why is that so?
Cellulite is a type of body fat that is pumped out of fat cells, and therefor could not be used to produce energy from it. It's kind of a burden your body carries around and gives no advantages to its owner. But, other than the fact that cellulite simply is not useful, it's also harmless.
Eating habits - less alcohol, tea (other than green tea), saturated fats and carbohydrates (or simply said sugar) is better.
Is consuming coffee beneficial to cellulite reducing or not is still a big debate, where all the opposite opinions could be heard. For sure, caffeine is used in many anti cellulite creams (like for example Sesderma Celulex Anti-Cellulite Cream
), as well as coffee is used in many cellulite home remedies.
All in all, your altogether consumption should be around 75 % of fruits, vegetables and cereals, while the rest could be meat, eggs, fish and fruits like almonds, walnuts, peanuts...
You must exercise regularly! You can make plenty of excuses, but even if they're all summed up together and multiplied with 42, they wouldn't make up an excuse enough. If you have no extra time to go to gym don't watch TV either, or you could cycle on something like this Elliptical Cross Trainer with Computer
while watching TV.
The power of massage. Other than taking massages from professionals, you can give yourself a massage also. It's best to take shower with short, gentle massage and finnish it with cold water rinse up. This should help reducing cellulite as massage helps circulation and prevents cellulite accumulation.
Analise your daily routine - what are the things you should change to adopt more positive pattern - a pattern that helps you preventing and eliminating cellulite. Analyzing your daily habits will also make you see something you may not have hoped - that already you are doing a lot of the things from the list. Then, I hope, you'll understand that it is not really so hard at all to change your habits, and start reducing cellulite.
Once you become aware how much your own behavior influences the accumulation of cellulite it should become easier for you to understand that finally you are that same person that can make a choice, and stand for it, - continue with habits that are bad for our body, or try the opposite - do something good for your body.

Make your own sea salt anti cellulite peeling
Sea salt is very useful for your skin care and cellulite prevention and reduction - it contains many minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, iodine, iron.
Use sea salt and oil peeling in a 100°F bath (38°C).
Ingredients:
- Salt - crystal, non-refined salt
- Oil - it is best to use olive oil
Note:
- Simple kitchen salt will not do, as it is pure sodium chloride whose molecules strongly attract water from body cells, and thus slows their vital functions. Crystal salt, besides sodium chloride consists of trace elements, minerals, vitamins and amino acids that are good for your skin because they help matter exchange in skin and under skin.
- Don't use vegetable oils (sunflower, soy...).
Use sea salt and oil peeling in a 100°F bath (38°C).
Sea salt and oil peeling benefits detoxification of body. It prompts metabolism, extraction of toxins, and eliminates excess water from the skin and connecting tissue, helps removing cellulite and has anti aging effect.
Sea salt acts on the principle of osmosis which is important for matter exchange in cells. cell liquid transfers from one cell to another, depending on which cell has greater salt concentration. Tissue is trying to achieve the equilibrium, and with water it extracts toxins also, and keeps minerals and other useful ingredients from the salt.
After this bath, you'll feel relaxed, rested. It will stimulate your blood and lymph circulation. All those effects are extremely positive for cellulite reduction.
