Cellulite Loves These Foods

Cellulite occurs in almost everyone, but in some it is especially visible. It can be reduced with exercise, but diet also plays an important role. Cellulite loves some foods that are probably part of your diet! Read more in this article about what cellulite-boosting foods you should avoid.

Cellulite treatments may not work if you can’t avoid the foods cellulite loves. In this article, we’ll tell you about those foods that make cellulite worse.

What causes cellulite?

Cellulite is caused by the structure of the fat cell chambers under the skin. The top layer of fat consists of numerous, as if upright adipose cell chambers separated by a thin connective tissue. From these fat cell chambers, small fat cell islets protrude into the bloodstream.

The resulting unevenness and irregularity of subcutaneous fat gives the skin above a bumpy appearance called cellulite. Cellulite typically occurs in the buttocks, thighs, hips, and abdomen. Of course, it can also form on other parts of the body.

The biggest reasons are e.g. digestive problems, improper or excessive nutrition, heavy use of tobacco and alcohol, stress, and disturbances in venous and lymphatic circulation due to lack of exercise, postural defects, tight clothing, or poor ergonomics.

What foods does cellulite love?

If you want to reduce the amount of cellulite in your body, avoid the following foods that increase cellulite:

Candy

Candy Day is the highlight of many working weeks: candies are combined with relaxation and delicacy after a long and heavy week. Many learn the beauty of candy day as a child and continue the habit until adulthood.

A small amount of candy does not pour into anyone’s diet, nor does it immediately create new cellulite. One gourmet a week is perfectly permissible, but we recommend substituting sugary candies with other delicacies such as dates or a few pieces of dark chocolate.

Sugar increases the amount of fat in the body and at the same time increases cellulite.

In addition to candies, biscuits, pastries, chocolate and other sugar treats should be placed on the banned list. If you don’t want to let go of candy day completely, just buy a small bag of candy and share it with your family, or pour only a portion of the bag into a bowl and save the rest for the next week.

Avoid using sugar in beverages such as coffee, tea and smoothies. Sugar is not converted into energy in the body, but accumulates in different parts of the body, especially the legs, thighs and abdomen. Replace sugar with stevia, raw sugar, or some other sweetener.

Fat

Junk food is high in fat and is not good for the body. Burgers, pizza, deep-fried food, sausages, french fries and other fast food make frost all over the body.

Junk food increases the amount of adipose tissue in the body and quickly forms new cellulite, which appears as bumps, especially in the thighs and buttocks. Also avoid fatty dairy products such as cream and butter.

Limit the amount of frying fat when cooking, measure the oil and fat in a pan or oven pan before cooking so you know exactly how much fat you need. Avoid red meat and fatty meat products such as salami, ham, sausage and bacon.

Salt

The body needs a small amount of salt, but most modern diets contain a considerable amount of it. Salt causes the accumulation of fluids, which in turn quickly leads to an increase in cellulite. Only 1.5 grams of salt a day should be ingested, no more.

Replace salt with other spices, feel free to use spice cabinet flavors such as turmeric, herbs, pepper and other flavors. Do not keep a salt spreader on the table while eating, as it will tempt you to add salt to your meal.

Choose coarse sea salt or other large crystalline salt grades instead of the traditional finely ground salt. Avoid popping French and salty cheeses.

Carbonated beverages

Carbonated drinks are not good for teeth, skin or body health at all. Cola drinks and other soft drinks contain a lot of sugar or other sweeteners.

Replace carbonated drinks with water. If the water feels dull, you can drink freshly squeezed juices or even iced tea. You can add lemon, orange or berries to the water to give it a new taste.

Coffee

Avoid heavy coffee consumption. You can drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day, but avoid adding sugar to the coffee. Coffee grounds can be used to make a cellulite-breaking exfoliating cream that makes the skin soft and smooth.

Mix the coffee grounds with olive oil and peel it through the thighs, buttocks and abdomen: caffeine speeds up the metabolism, removes swelling and makes the skin smooth.

Bleached flour

Wheat flour is part of many people’s daily diets. White bread and pasta are the biggest sources of wheat flour and should be avoided. Replace wheat products with whole grains and significantly reduce the incidence of cellulite. Wheat causes cellulite because it contains a lot of yeast that is difficult for the body to digest.

If you can’t live without bread, opt for whole grain products and rye bread instead of French Patong. You can also make fresh bread yourself.

Sauces

Mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, hot sauces… Traditional sauces can be found in almost every home, and cellulite loves them! Especially ketchup and mustard are part of the weekly diet of many families and are used to flavor a variety of meals. Avoid these as they are the cause of cellulite.

Make salad dressings yourself using herbs, lemon juice and other healthy ingredients and avoid salad portions drowned in mayonnaise.

Do not buy ready-made tomato mixes with pasta or other dishes to eat at the store, but prepare the tomato sauce yourself. Don’t add mayonnaise to the foods you eat, or prepare it yourself from scratch with egg and lemon juice for a healthier alternative. Mustard can also be made from mustard seeds themselves.
