The reason I say that getting rid of cellulite is much
harder than building muscle and losing fat is because it involves doing both,
plus adding the additional need of detoxification. Yes that’s right, many
health experts and nutritionists nowadays believe that cellulite is caused by a
buildup of toxins, most of which come from your diet. This means that carving
the sexy cellulite-free legs, arms and butt will only happen by carving the
proper diet.
So here is the list of magnificent foods that will help you
detox, lose fat and get rid of cellulite!
Whole grains
Thanks to their lower glycemic index (relative to refined
grains) these foods don’t cause a jump in your insulin levels, which is also
known as an insulin spike. Insulin spikes contribute to your cellulite by
making your body store more fats. Moreover, whole grains are a great option
thanks to their low fat and high fiber contents. The fiber has two great
effects- first it cleanses your body (exactly what you need) and it also fills
you up faster and keeps you full for longer.
Of course keep in mind that
although whole foods are much less likely to cause an insulin spike compared to
refined grains, they can still do it if consumed in great amounts.
Raw foods
The reason raw foods are preferred to just going vegan (or
vegetarian) for a couple of days, is because cooking your food robs it from
much of its nutritional value.
I also do a raw food diet for 3 days occasionally and it
feels great! It was only hard the first time, now it’s just a walk in the park
so don’t look so terrified! Just give it a go.
Water

First of all, water helps you eliminate the waste in your
system. As we pointed out above, toxic buildup is one of the major reasons for
cellulite.
Second, when you don’t get enough water, your liver has to
jump in and help with the detoxification process, which distracts it from one of its
main duties-the metabolism of fat cells. This means that drinking more water =
more burned fats!
Another reason to drink more water is to prevent yourself
from drinking the wrong type of beverages. Sodas, fruit juices
with added sweeteners, alcohol and so on, contain loads of sugar (insulin
spike!) and toxins so you need to avoid them at all costs! If you really want
to get rid of cellulite that is…
Oranges, limes and especially lemons are known to be great
detoxifiers. In fact this is the very reason nutritionists around the world
recommend beginning your day with a glass of water and freshly squeezed
lemon in it.
lemon in it.
Natural diuretics
As I pointed out consuming more water is one of the keys to getting rid of cellulite; however, water is actually one of the main reasons for cellulite in the first place! As I mentioned in the beginning cellulite is caused by fat and water deposits. We’ve mentioned a few good ways to reduce the fats, but what about the water? The only way to flush out these water deposits is through minimizing water retention in your body. Instead of drinking less water you should go for foods that remove the water and restore your body’s fluid balance. These foods are known as diuretics. Some great diuretics include carrots, celery, leafy green veggies, peppers, beets, lemons, oats and apple cider vinegar. Also you may want to consume foods high in the mineral potassium. Such foods include bananas, potatoes and spinach.
This was the last entry in our list of foods that will help you get rid of cellulite. Besides these you should also include foods rich in antioxidants such as berries, carrots, peaches, plums, grapes and others. They fight free radicals and get rid of toxins.
Tomatoes

Tomatoes are also very rich in the skin healthy vitamin A
and in antioxidants that directly fight toxins.
Herbal teas

Nuts and seeds

All fats are not made equal! Saturated fats will add to your
cellulite, however, the fats in nuts, seeds, fish, avocado and olive oil, are
known as healthy fats. They don’t contribute to your cellulite; in fact they
may help you get rid of it thanks to their fat burning effect. Yes eating fats
can help you burn more fats! Only if you don’t get carried away with them that
is...
Follow this healthy diet and you will not only cleanse your
body from the toxins, but also burn more fats. And of course, to top it all
off, don’t forget to do the top 5 cellulite reducing exercises! Also, I invite you to read my The 3 Crucial Steps That Truly Get Rid of Cellulite post
