<B>What About Cellulite?</B>

<I>QUESTION:</I> I wanted to ask if there is a natural way, through diet or exercise to rid the body of cellulite? Are there particular foods to eat or avoid and possibly particular exercises that would help to work this problem out? I try to exercise between full time work and part-time school, mostly the treadmill at home appx 2 miles - 4/5 x's a week, and 1-3 times at gym on weights, depending on my schedule.

<I>ANSWER:</I> Cellulite is a word that was popularized by marketers of "cures." Some promised cellulite will disappear by using some herbal body wraps. Others promised pills and capsules would do the trick. Still others sold creams and massagers. Not a single one of these products worked . . . despite sometimes very aggressive marketing campaign with claims that "research had proven" some cellulite reduction. Even large companies such as Rexall (heard of them?) tapped into the "get-rid-of-cellulite" market by releasing over the counter supplements such as Cellasene. The claims they made were unsubstantiated and in 2000 the FTC filed a lawsuit against Rexall Sundown. As one gets shut down, however, new ones emerge, all promising to be the solution. What they all failed to tell consumers was . . . body wraps, pills, massagers, etc. do not rid the body of fat . . . and cellulite is nothing other than fat. The reason cellulite looks "different" than most fat when viewed through the skin is because in the thighs that adipose material (fat) might get caught between pockets of connective tissue. Each pocket becomes bigger as long as the fat remains in place. I wish I had some better news for you, but all I have is the truth . . . the truth cellulite cure sellers won't share. The only natural way to get rid of fat . . . including cellulite, is through supportive nutrition and a combination of resistance training and moderate aerobic exercise. I know you're already attempting this, but it's important that the exercise program and the eating plan match the goals. You mention that you do "mostly" the treadmill. Aerobic exercise alone may actually feed off of muscle tissue, especially if it's not supported by the adequate protein and carbohydrates and essential fats. Weight training 1-3 times per week is barely enough assuming the 3 times is more common. If you are more leaning toward working out once per week, you will be disappointed in the results.
You might look into one of my programs as they all outline the path to putting the body in a state where it is willing to release fat . . . cellulite included! Cellulite may appear to be "stubborn" but as systemic fat is decreased . . . it will go!

I honestly wish I had a shortcut. I wish I had magic. What I do have is a commitment to honesty, a passion for helping people, and the power of the true technology to change the human body. If you look at your history, and it shows that you might have bailed out too soon, only because you weren't seeing "pounds melt away," maybe you'll come to grasp with the reality. If you want to get to your destination, and that destination has anything to do with a lean, toned body, you're going to have to play by the rules of nature and science. If someone does changes nature, and invents the "miracle" pill, product, or device that melts fat or drops pounds permanently and healthfully, believe me I'll be the first one to shout at the top of my lungs to spread the word. Until then I have only the truth. It may not be as glamorous as hyped up promises . . . but it's served me and hundreds of people who have found results with my programs. It can serve you as well.
