The easiest way to lose cellulite in a timely manner (two weeks)

Q: What is the easiest way to lose cellulite from the back of your thighs in a timely manner? I am going to be a counselor at a summer camp in about 2 weeks and I have some cellulite on the back of my thighs that I would love to tone down a little bit before camp starts. I am not what you call a big girl, pretty much just average but, I can't seem to fix that unsightly area. Any ideas? Any would be appreciated :P

A:In just two weeks it's impossible to lose your cellulite, but you could work on reducing the appearance of cellulite. The best express ways of doing so are:

• tanning - if you tan a little bit your lumps will be less visible, but don't go overtanning as it might look even worse
• water - take good care not to dehydrate, as dehydration reveals cellulite even more
• massaging, exfoliating, rubbing - do that while taking shower; your skin will immediately look smoother
• use some home remedies for reducing cellulite during these two weeks
• avoid alcohol and cigarettes - they dehydrate you, and make your skin look unhealthy
  

The fastest way to lose cellulite

Q: What is the fastest way to lose cellulite?
Or HOW DO YOU lose cellulite (other than creams/miracle diet stuff/surgery/detox/or whatever) on thighs and buttocks? I have a really bad problem. Well, my upper body is thin but when it comes to my thighs and buttocks, I have a lot of cellulite. Plus, it doesn't look so nice because I am 5"5 1/2 and I'm flat chested. HELP, please.

A: There are many ways to lose cellulite, all of them are a part of the story, and it's not enough to insist on only one.

1. Consume liquid. It is most recommended to drink pure water. Water helps in detoxification of your body. Many studies showed how essential it is for our body to consume enough water.

2. Regularize your eating habits. Cut down on fat rich food, proteins of animal origin, simple carbohydrate (e. g. ordinary sugar). Consume more fruit and vegetable, complex carbohydrates (e. g. rice, cereals). Avoid eating too late in the evening, and make breakfast your central meal. Rather have more small meals during the day than few big ones.

3. Vitamin C, potassium and sulfur rich food. Those help removing "bad" substances from your body.

4. Avoid coffee and alcohol. They help reducing water form your body and therefor should be avoided. From other hand, some say that consuming coffee is good for getting rid of cellulite. So, take the coffee thing with a grain of salt, i. e. if you like it and think it benefits you than drink it, otherwise don't.

5. Avoid salted and spicy food. Salt is one of the main causative agents of cellulite accumulation. Try adding less and less salt, as cutting it instantly will make your food taste really grouse.

6. Detoxification. For detoxification through urine use herb teas, especially nettles tea. It is also recommended to use dried plums, wheat sprouts, flax seeds and oat meal - you know what kind of detoxification this is :)

7. Oxygen - spend your time in nature. Breathing clean air is... well, do I really have to explain why is this good for you?!

8. At least half an hour of exercising daily. It stimulates metabolism and helps extracting toxins. Physical inactivity is one of biggest causes of cellulite accumulation. Swimming is considered to be the most useful physical activity for preventing and solving cellulite.

9. Massage. Gentle massage of critical parts of your body stimulates blood and lymph circulation, and so helps reducing cellulite. There's no need for rough pressing or crude massage, as cellulite layer is situated only 3 -5 millimeters under your skin.

10. Relax. Many consider stress as one of main causes of cellulite accumulation - so, relax! If that would be as easy as they say it!
