what is Cellulite?

Let's first look at what Cellulite is, well it is simply FAT!
Cellulite is a condition that occurs in men and women (although much more common in women) where the skin of the lower limbs, abdomen, and pelvic region becomes dimpled "cottage cheese appearance", first signs may appear after puberty. Women are more likely to develop cellulite due to composition and behavior of women's fat cells and the connective tissue that holds them in place. Very simply, a woman's connective tissue is very inflexible, so as females gain weight their fat cells expand, and tend to bulge upwards towards the surface of the skin, giving the classic orange-peel or appearance of cellulite. In men, not only is there generally less fat on the thighs, but also the outer skin is thicker and thus obscures what is happening to any surplus fat below.

So how do you get rid of it?

Diet has been shown to affect the development and amount of cellulite. Excessive amounts of fat, carbohydrates, salt, or too little fiber can all contribute to an increased cellulite. Increasing protein should help add collagen and build muscle to burn fat and contain your fat levels.

Some Say Cellulite is Hereditary

Life-style has the biggest influence to your pending chances of developing cellulite. An inactive life-style results in the fibres tightening their hold on the fat cells which then leads to that inevitable, ugly dimpling we call cellulite. However hormones play a dominant role in the formation of cellulite. Estrogen is the most important hormone. It seems to initiate, and aggravate cellulite. Other hormones including insulin, the catecholamines adrenaline and noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin have all been shown to participate in the development of cellulite.
