Tips on How to Lose Cellulite

So, how do you get rid of cellulite? Well, you can’t really get rid of something unless you know how it came to existence, so let us first discuss how these cellulites are formed. Cellulites are basically those “dimpled skin” look that mostly shows up in the thighs and buttocks, usually to women who just had their first child. Usually, those fatty tissues directly under the skin are smooth. However, after some time, these fatty cells will weaken and will start to sag, producing the “dimpled” appearance which is now referred to as cellulite. As mentioned, cellulite usually appears after a woman has had birth or around the age of 25 and above.

Step 1: Lose the Cellulite

Now, if you want to learn how to lose cellulite, then you have to rebuild these sagging cell walls. For this, you will need Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) which is the primary structure component of the cells. In layman’s term, they are the foundation needed to keep the building standing erect. You’ll find EFA in goods like raw seeds and nuts, vegetables and whole grains and vegetable oil. Now here comes the best part, EFA is actually present is some of the fast food products we love today. However, they are “distorted” or have been chemically altered, which means that instead of helping with the removal of cellulite, they can actually make the situation worse. So if you really want to learn how to lose cellulite, then your first step would be stay off fried foods. I suggest that you just skip using creams and lotions since they won’t really help in the long run.

Step 2: Decrease Body Fat

But that’s not all! The reason for cellulite might be cell problems, but that doesn’t mean that ingesting enough EFA will fix the problem. In fact, it’s just the start. Your goal would be to reduce total body fat if you really want to get rid of those cellulite permanently. You see, if you lose the extra fat, the weakened cells will be eliminated as well. Plus, with the EFA having fewer cells to work on, you won’t really have to eat as much.

However, be aware that spot reduction is impossible. That’s why the step says “Decrease Body Fat”. The reason for this is that fat loss will be done to your whole body, not just the thighs.

Step 3: Thigh Exercises

Build up your thigh muscles because muscles are actually very good fat burners. They require energy even while dormant, so once you have them, the problem of losing fat won’t be much of a problem anymore. I know you’re probably thinking if fat spot reduction doesn’t work, then why do inner thigh exercises target just one area? You see, here’s the catch. Targeting fat loss is not possible, but targeting muscle development is! So inner thigh exercises are not really a waste, they’re meant to stimulate the muscles while cardio and diet will help you lose the fat.

One inner thigh exercise that is very effective is the Crossover Knee Raise where you lie down on all fours. Keeping your arms straight and your knee at a 90 degree angle, slowly raise your knee upwards until your feet are pointing towards the ceiling. Hold it for a moment and then slowly bring it down beyond the other leg’s calf. You can do this a dozen times before switching legs.
