The internet is chock full of information about body-beautiful products and cellulite products are definitely a hot item among them. ‘Cellulite’ is a popular term for deposits of fat that have a cottage cheese-like or puckered texture.

It’s important to note that medically, cellulite is not considered abnormal. Even so, many people don’t like the appearance of cellulite and would be happy to find a way to get rid of it.

As with any purchase, smart consumers do their research before deciding on a particular brand or product. Independent organizations such as ‘E-Consumer’ and ‘Consumer Health Digest’ provide reviews of products and services so that customers can make more informed buying decisions. Factors taken into consideration during the review are price, customer service, guarantee and return policy.

According to these analysts, a cellulite product called ‘Avotone Bodysculpt’ is the one consumers should consider. The reviewers find that it consists of high-quality ingredients and is very effective.

Significantly, the product is guaranteed to produce results in less than four weeks and comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. Avotone BodySculpt scored overall highest for quality, safety, success rate and customer satisfaction. The cost of this cellulite product is $69.95.

Another cellulite product highly regarded by the analysts is called ‘Revitol Cellulite Solution’. It is less expensive at $39.95 and, compared to the first product, scores almost as high for quality, safety, success rate and just as high in the customer satisfaction category.

‘Revitol Cellulite Solution’ has a longer period of guarantee – 90 days – and a higher customer service rating than the first product.

Consumer Health Digest, another consumer review service, identifies the 3 top cellulite products as ‘Extra Strength Lipo Sculpt Gel’ created by Sterling Grant Laboratories, ‘Ab Solution’ by VyoTech and ‘Transculpt’ by MedaBiotics.

These products, made of ingredients such as caffeine, vitamins and green tea extract, are recommended as low-risk, effective cellulite removal or reduction treatments. Price-related information was not rated.

For more in-depth information about cellulite reduction, there is a new book out written by a doctor called ‘The Cellulite Solution’. In it, Elisabeth Dancey looks at cellulite from a medical point of view, and offers recommendations to remove it.

Among other health-related topics, she explains why women are more prone to cellulite than men, the different kinds of cellulite and why even thin women have cellulite. Doctor Dancey provides advice including the proper combination of cellulite-fighting foods, exercises that target cellulite as well as aromatherapy, creams, and lotions.

It’s no secret that doctors recommend eating a healthy diet and keeping muscles toned by regular exercise. However, research has led to the availability of products and treatments that can reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin tone.

While these need not be discounted, it must be noted that not all products are created equally! A little time spent reviewing the consumer research will help you make a decision with which you are more likely to be happy.

Cellulite happens to us for many reasons. Some reasons– like genetics or hormones — you can do very little about. But cellulite is also related to a number of other factors that you CAN work with and improve.

Cellulite affects 90% of women and a much smaller percentage of men. The condition is such a complex one that no real cure is considered to be available. Some products, therapies and procedures do claim to be cures but the jury is still very much out on the subject of getting rid of cellulite.

The unsightly symptoms are found on the soft, fleshy parts of women’s thighs, buttocks, stomachs and upper arms. Though it is often associated with sedentary people, who are also overweight, the condition can make itself at home on the fit thighs and buttocks of marathon runners.

Opinions vary as to the exact causes of cellulite but most agree that something happens in the tissues to slow down and handicap the ordinary processes of lymph and blood circulation in the capillaries of the subcutaneous tissue. Some experts believe that excess fat will make the fat cells in the mesoderm swell, placing a strain on the surrounding connective tissue and resulting in a compromised microcirculation. Others believe that the situation is created by a genetic disposition coupled with hormonal imbalances.

The tissue responds to its embattled circumstances by forming extended tissue strands called septae that restrict the fat cells and cause the rippled, lumpy skin surface indicative of cellulite. The resulting sluggish and damaged microcirculation allows lymph fluid to leak into the surrounding tissue while hampering the transport of nutrients.

With this deeper understanding of exactly what is happening beneath the skin of the affected areas we can make informed decisions on what to do to alleviate the symptoms and revive the skin.

Here are some important aspects of a comprehensive cellulite reduction program:

Losing the Excess

Any plan to alleviate the symptoms of cellulite must include a healthy weight loss program for those carrying more than their healthy body weight. Excess weight causes fat cells to swell contributing to the tissue strain that results in the orange peel effect.

A diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as a good eight glasses of water a day to flush toxins, will begin the restorative process of proper nutrition at the point of origin. Making sure that your diet includes plenty of all the necessary vitamins especially B for stress, as well as C, bioflavonoids and minerals is a good way to begin the recovery process.

Eating Right

Vigorous exercise is an absolute necessity. It will help to stimulate sluggish circulation throughout the body as well as targeting the troubled areas. Regular exercise, at least three times a week for 40 minutes or more, will have far reaching effects on many of the body’s systems, firing up metabolism and getting the lymph and blood flowing.

Laying on Hands and Lotion

Milder cases of cellulite can be ministered to by means of a good massage regime using one or other of the reputable creams and lotions on the market. Many creams contain natural botanical ingredients that are tissue decongestants as well as stimulants for the microcirculation.

Consider having a few deep tissue massages from experts and learn some tips. Go home and practice on yourself. The more attention the problem areas receive the more dynamic and alive the tissues will become. Circulation will improve and toxins can be convinced to evacuate.

Consulting the Real Experts

Serious cases of cellulite may benefit from the advice of real experts. You will have to employ serious discernment when figuring out whom to turn to. The Internet offers you unprecedented opportunities to check and recheck claims. Procedures can be thoroughly researched before deciding which program to go for. Be skeptical. In this day and age it is the reasonable response to the plethora of false promises that threaten to take advantage of the vulnerable.

Most people don’t want to try an anti-cellulite diet, because they think it will be hard work and deprive them of the foods they love. But changing your diet to eradicate cellulite is simply that – a change.

 

Losing weight and getting rid of cellulite is easy with the correct information about how diet can help. And the best part about it is that once you know the secret to easy weight-loss and cellulite elimination, you’ll be able to see amazing results in as little as 30 days with no calorie counting or starvation needed.

 

Using your diet to eliminate cellulite is the most natural treatment there is to cure cellulite once and for all. So don’t be mistaken in thinking that an anti-cellulite diet means only eating low-fat boring foods, because it doesn’t.

 

The only real secret to getting rid of cellulite is to eat only natural foods. This means eating more home-made meals and less processed foods. And that’s it! It really is that simple.

 

You see, cellulite is a build up of fat and toxins which your body stores just under your skin. This problem is also further aggravated by water being stored around these hard, fatty deposits, which causes the much loathed cottage cheese’ or ‘dimpling effect.

 

So to lose cellulite you need to stop eating fat and toxins so that your body will stop storing them. And most processed food contain large amounts of fat and chemicals. Highly processed foods are usually high in salt (sodium) too which encourages more water storage in your cellulite.

 

Eating more natural foods also helps you to eat less. You see, your body understands what natural foods (vegetables, fruit, pulses, beans, eggs, etc) are and when you’ve eaten enough, your body will tell you that you are full so that you don’t over-eat.

 

But when you eat highly processed foods, your body isn’t always sure what the ingredients are and so doesn’t recognise them as food that is filling you and so cannot tell you to stop eating.

 

Couple this with the fact that these foods are saturated with fat, salt, sugar and chemicals, and you’ve got a real problem.

 

So start making your own pies, pizzas and other meals. They’ll not only be lower in fat and be chemical-free, but they’ll also taste better and help you lose weight and get rid of your cellulite at the same time.

 

But you don’t have to deprive yourself of your favourite foods such as donuts, chocolate and takeaways. 

 

Just make them a special treat once a week  or, better still, once a month

 

And be kind to your body, because in the end it’s you who will reap the rewards.

The revolutionary Ion Magnum machine is reported to reduce cellulite in one session. It is a high-tech muscle-building machine created by Gerry Pollack, the co-creator of the pacemaker in the 50s. Using electrical currents, the machine tricks your body to build muscles and you can simulate a weight training session or a run just by adjusting the controls. According to Dr Christine Cheng, a 30-minute session on the Ion Magnum is akin to 10 hours in the gym and burns 5000 calories! This is truly a coach potato’s dream come true! To prove her point, Dr Christine Cheng adds, “The CEO of the company is a 54-year-old woman who has rock-hard abs and a super-firm bottom!”

Treatment process: 

The Ion Magnum is a pretty intimidating looking machine with lots of wires. Cold metal plates attached to these wires were strapped all over my thighs and I was forewarned by my therapist, Joey, that I will feel as if “there are ants crawling up my legs”. She started off with mild electrical currents which felt ticklish and made me giggle non-stop. As Joey slowly increased the power, my legs started jerking involuntarily and the vibrations became much stronger. It became mildly uncomfortable in the last 10 minutes and I was relieved when the session ended. 

To prove the effectiveness of the Ion Magnum, my thighs were measured and these are my initial measurements:

Left thigh – 50.9cm (top), 47.4cm (bottom)

Right thigh – 50.8cm (top), 47.8cm (bottom)   

Here are my measurements at the end of the 30 minute session:

Left thigh – 50.6cm (top), 47.4cm (bottom)

Right thigh – 50.5cm (top), 47.2cm (bottom)

I checked my cellulite and it looked like there was indeed some improvement. Examining my after pictures, Joey pointed out that my saddlebags had also decreased and my bottom was slightly lifted. Wow! This is pretty amazing results from just one session.

Cellulite in the thighs and **** are one thing, but leg cellulite, a very visible spot, is another irritating thing. While many women and some men look for answers to cure leg cellulite, one very simple life-changing method can eliminate leg cellulite for good.

The answer: Leg cellulite and other cellulite-infected areas can be eliminated through exercise. Since cellulite is just a bulked form of fat, you can undeniably cure yourself from these unsightly bulges from your skin.

The bulky, dimply look and feel of cellulite is caused by bands of tissues, which connect fats to the skin. With people aggravated by cellulite, these connective bands of tissues appear in a honeycomb-like pattern, making it bulge through the fibers. As the fats push against the skin, the bulging causes leg cellulite or other areas affected by cellulite.

While everyone wants a quick fix for that ugly-looking leg cellulite, there is no magic potion to treat your problem. Although creams, lotions or dietary supplements have claimed to give positive effects for cellulite, they cannot cure the underlying fat problems that are located under the layers of skin.

In addition, dietary supplements have no scientific study to prove their claims that taking pills can eliminate, or even reduce, cellulite permanently. According to medical experts, these claims are unsupported to date. Therefore, you should be careful about buying the next new leg cellulite treatment products in the market.

Be aware that the best way to eliminate cellulite also provides long-term results. By following a proper exercise regimen, you develop and tone your muscles, making your skin tighter and therefore, eliminating cellulite.

A Long-term Cure for Leg Cellulite

According to many fitness experts, the best way to get rid of leg cellulite cannot be bought in stores. Instead, you have to work you way for a long-term effects of cellulite elimination. This can be done through building muscles. When you replace the fats within your leg cellulite, your skin automatically becomes smother and firmer.

However, exercising to cure leg cellulite is not as simple as you may think. Be aware that there are specific exercises in targeting the hips, thighs or leg cellulite. Unfortunately, targeting one cellulite-affected area will not be solved overnight. You need to change your diet programs and exercise regimen to lose fat while building muscles.

Remember that the long-term effects of exercise for treating cellulite is incomparable, safe, healthy and will not cost you a dime.
