Let's back up and review exactly what cellulite IS: the condition of cells swelling out and around surrounding connective tissue resulting in that classic 'orange peel' look. Why do you think
your cells are so swollen? While some of it will certainly be hereditary (I, myself, come from a long line of cellulite-prone women.
) and predispose you to the condition at the least provocation, the GOOD NEWS is that you CAN figure out just what that provocation IS. In the early chapters of FF are reviews of "false fat" aka: water-logged cells. Various dietary choices contribute to this condition.
It will be not only what you are (or are not) eating, it will be also how stressed your liver is (cellulite is one sign that it's over-loaded). A diet on the sweet side will stress the liver and I'm talking all sugars, including the fake ones often found in soda. Caffeine is a liver stressor - and many sodas are high in that, too.
So YOU will need to change.
Change what/how/when you eat and drink
Or learn to live with cellulite.
And for everyone who says you cannot get rid of the condition, point 'em to my picturetrail. After almost 30 years of cellulite-laden thighs, FF helped me wave bye-bye and I remain cellulite-free 5+ years after starting FF.
