Style Lies: You can get rid of cellulite
Filed under: Fashion, How to Wear

Lie. We hate to break it to you but there is no good way to get rid of cellulite.
Not even diet, exercise, or liposuction? Nope.
According to Hollywood derm Dr. Howard Murad, whose input can be found on the trusty WebMD, "cellulite is not a fat problem, it's a skin problem. The fat that causes cellulite is not the same as the fat that takes us from a size 10 to a 14. That fat lies far below the skin, closer to our bones, and it is what the body burns as fuel for energy. Cellulite, on the other hand, is made up of fat cells that reside within the skin. They can't be burned as fuel so dieting, exercise, even liposuction won't help.
Another MD, Bruce Katz, tells us that the reason cellulite forms is because of a part of anatomy known as 'septa,' which are bands of tissue which keep these "other" fat cells in place. When we are young, the bands do their job well but as most of us know, as we age, our body breaks down. For many women, these "anchors" do not do their job as well as time goes on and the fat cells become buoyant, stretching between the fibers and resulting in lumps. It doesn't matter if your a size 0 or 18, if your body has cellulite, it just does.
Most medical experts believe that cellulite is inherited so if mom has it, you'll probably have it too. Though there are some temporary visual enhancers, there is virtually nothing you can do to stop or prevent it and almost all of us over the age of 20 have it or will have it sooner or later. We know, awesome right? Hey at least we're all in this together!

Hi! It might be hard to rid of cellulite altogether, but you can reduce the appearance of the 'orange peel' effect quite easily...Skin Kiss Caffeine Tights at http://www.tightsplease.co.uk have the ability to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the thighs as they are infused with micro capsules which boost the motabolism when the body heats up. This in turn burns fat and reduces the circumference of thighs by 2 1/2cm! They are definitely worth a try! Order them online at http://www.tightsplease.co.uk/index.php?page[product]=178 for 3pp!

I totally disagree with this article..to a point. I can say that i have had cellulite since I was 13. I absolutely can get rid of it through proper exercise and diet.
What I do agree with is that liposuction and those lotions are bogus. I considered liposuction several years ago and only went to reputable doctors with very good credentials that I investigated. My concern was with their before and after pictures. I was not impressed and so I never went for the liposuction.
I weigh 135 right now at 5'6" and I don't exercise on a regular basis. I currently do have cellulite. But....I will put money on this....If I am to walk 4 miles 5 days per week and drop my weight to 126 through proper exercise and diet ...I will get rid of the cellulite.
