Getting Rid Of Cellulite
It doesn't matter how thick or thin you are, most women are
prone to deposits of cellulite. These are gender specific
(that's right for women only!) deposits of dense fat that
are caught in the network of fibers that make up the structure
of the body.
To understand this you have to picture your body as being
enclosed in a large network of tissue that looks like a fish
net of interconnecting tissue. How much this tissue can expand
is non negotiable. Since the connective tissue is not as elastic
as the skin,it will only stretch so far while being acted
on by the force of expanding fat cells. When fat deposits
become trapped beneath this network, called the superficial
fascia, the net is stretched and its fatty contents bulge
out in an unattractive way that is often described as looking
like cottage cheese, orange peel or gravel.
Why don't these stubborn deposits of fat just melt away like
regular fat? The law of Mother Nature in this case is that
the greater the area of fat concentration the harder it is
to get rid of. The minute your total body fat exceeds 25%
in a woman, you will develop cellulite.
Sometimes you can get rid of the fat but not the gnarly connective
tissue that was created to accommodate the extra fat cells
in the first place. Areas of the body that have a high ratio
of fat to muscle (for example the thighs, hips and buttock
area in women) are particularly hard to smooth out once they
have become pocked with cellulite.
Getting rid of cellulite is not as easy as exercising and
limiting your caloric intake. As many women know you can get
extremely thin, almost skeletal and still have lumps of cellulite
showing In fact, if you lose too much weight the cellulite
bumps and dents can be even further highlighted.
Usually getting rid of cellulite requires a complete lifestyle
overhaul. This usually starts with some kind of detoxifying
or cleansing diet and then a permanent modification of your
exercise and eating habits. Circuit training that involves
an hour of aerobic exercise and weight training is thought
to be the best cure for this common problem. Drinking tons
of water and eating fruits and vegetables that are water dense
may also help get rid of these stubborn deposits of fat.
If you do have cellulite you might just have to live with
it. There are no pills, miracle creams or rubber garments
that can correct cellulite. If the cellulite is going to go
away it is going to go away on its own. The problem is that
it is not just a matter of eliminating fat, it is a problem
that involves the body's interconnecting tissue. Disappointing
as it is you might have to resign yourself to the fact that
there is no way of fixing connective tissue that has been
distorted or twisted by excess weight gain from the past.
