Quickest Way to Get Rid of Cellulite

About 90 percent of all women are to some degree affected by cellulite. The beauty industry is well aware of this, which is why there are new treatments and creams on the market every year. Unfortunately, there is little scientific support for these beauty treatments. It still seems that your money is better spent on a gym membership and wholesome food.

Quickest Temporary Way

• If your goal is simply to look good when you walk in shorts on your winter vacation in the Caribbean, there are a few things you can do to look your best. Apply self tanner. Your cellulite will become much less noticeable if you have a tan. You can also use cellulite creams containing caffeine, as these might make a temporary difference. The Vanderbilt University psychology website quotes Linda Wells, editor-in-chief of Allure Magazine: "Caffeine is in every cellulite-reducing product that shows any benefit, because it helps blood flow to the skin and works like a diuretic, flushing moisture out of the skin and firming it, even if only temporarily." You may also find that massage temporarily improves the appearance of cellulite.

Quickest Permanent Way

• There is no quick way to get rid of cellulite permanently. The quicker and more drastically you can change your lifestyle into a healthy one, the quicker you are likely to experience a reduction and, later, even complete removal of cellulite. "The number one thing you can do to eliminate cellulite from your body is to begin supplementing your diet with a good, balanced blend of the healthy essential fatty acids," says Dr. Russell J. Martino, author of "Five Steps to Optimal Health." Take supplements containing these fatty acids. You can find EFAs in cold-water fish, nuts, raw seeds, whole grains and some vegetables. Avoid processed, fast foods and anything containing hydrogenated oils. Eliminate all sugary and high-carb foods, as these will raise your insulin levels. High insulin levels lead to production and storage of fat.
  Lose excess body fat in a safe and deliberate manner. Do not go on a fad diet and try to lose 30 pounds in a month. Instead, focus on losing a couple of pounds per week eating a healthy, low-calorie diet and exercising. It is very important that you do resistance training, as firm and well developed muscle certainly makes it harder for cellulite to survive and appear in the first place.
