Naturally, fat
and toxins come from what you eat.
By changing your diet you can erase some unsightly cellulite. There is no cure-all, quick fix cellulite diet. However, when you change your eating habits so that you are making smart choices everyday, you will fight cellulite in the long run.
Finding The Right Cellulite Diet
Processed Foods
Vegetables are healthy snacks that fight cellulite.
Healthlady.com points out that highly processed fats such as trans fats and hydrogenated oils are some of the biggest cellulite causing culprits. This translates to junk food and fast food. Cutting these highly processed foods from your diet will go a long way towards preventing and removing cellulite. It is a good rule to stay away from the inner aisles of your grocery store. Sticking to the outer edges will help you buy more produce and avoid cellulite causing foods.
Fats are an important part of your diet, but make sure you are consuming healthy fats. You can use olive oil instead of canola oil in your cooking. Eat nuts and seeds instead of salty chips. Also, replace butter on your bread and mayonnaise on your sandwiches with thinly spread avocado.
Healthy Snacks
Shape Magazine suggests that eating a small, healthy appetizer before your meal will help curb your appetite. When you eat more vegetables and fruits before and with your meal, you will be less likely to go overboard on meat and complex carbohydrates like bread. Keep unsweetened dried fruits or baby carrots close at hand to satisfy your snack cravings.
Flaxseed
Dr. Oz recommends enhancing your breakfast with flaxseed. Add 2 tablespoons to your cereal or yogurt every morning. Dr. Oz claims that flaxseed promotes collagen growth and “collagen is the main component of connective tissue; by strengthening the skin, it helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.”
Water
Drinking a healthy amount of water will help eliminate toxins in your body and improve elasticity in your skin, removing the appearance of cellulite. Carry a water bottle with you so you won’t be tempted to buy sugary sodas, coffee, or diet drinks when you are thirsty. Healthlady.com also recommends adding fresh lemon juice to your water. The lemon juice can help remove cellulite causing toxins from your body.
Kelp
Kelp is suggested, by Dr. Oz, to include in a cellulite diet. Kelp can be purchased dry and added to soups or stir fry. It can also be taken in capsules as a supplement. According to Dr. Oz, kelp effectively facilitates weight loss, which will reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Cultivate Healthy Habits
In the long run, healthy habits such as drinking water, eating vegetables, and skipping fast food will dramatically reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve your overall health. To give your cellulite diet an added kick try including kelp and flaxseed in your daily meals.
