Lose cellulite while sleeping

2009-02-09T13:36:00.001-08:00

Sounds like a miracle, joke or just bs, doesn't it? Well, Biotherm Celluli Night Patch is a new cellulite treatment that promises results in just 10 nights - yes, you understood well - it is supposed to work while you sleep!

The product launches a four pronged attack on orange peel skin:

fights the transformation of sugars into fats
fights trigger of the fat storage process
slows down drainage mechanisms
stimulates cellular renewal for enhanced receptivity and smoother skin

Celluli Night, an overnight treatment for the reduction of visible cellulite areas, works specifically in synchronization with the body’s biological clock.

Cellulite deposit time line:

Time	Your body
6am - 10am	The body awakens progressively. Drainage processes are facilitated.
10 am - 4 pm	The body is fully active. Fat-burning enzymes are working to transform food into energy.
4 pm - 8 pm	The body begins to tire and expends less effort. It is storing energy for later.
8 pm	More of what is consumed is transformed into fat. It is storing energy for later.

Celluli Laser Night should be applied to the affected areas in the evening. For additional benefits Celluli Laser Day is also available.

Is cellulite preventable?

2009-02-08T13:41:00.000-08:00

Q: What is cellulite? Is it preventable, or is it all in the genes like stretch marks? I've just noticed maybe a tiny weeny bit of what I think MAY be cellulite, on my thigh. I'm not sure though, I'm 18 and I've never really understood what it is. Is there anything I can do to prevent more forming?
A: Here's an article that explains what exactly cellulite is:
It's easiest to explain if you compare cellulite to fat.
> Regular fat provides protection to the organs and muscles, and insulates the body. Cellulite has no positive use.

> Regular fat, when squeezed, is smooth in texture. Cellulite appears to have ridges, lumps and irregularities, when squeezed.

> Regular fat could occur anywhere on the body. Cellulite appears only in some parts of the body such as the thighs, arms, buttocks and breasts.

> Regular fat can be accessed by the body as an energy source, while cellulite cannot be used as an energy source.

Also, the causes of cellulite are:

poor nutrition
physical inactivity
genetics
stress
bad circulation
hormones

Best way to tone butt and make cellulite disappear

2009-02-04T13:05:00.000-08:00

Q: What is the best way to tone my butt and make cellulite disappear?
Just wondering if anyone has a favorite butt toning exercise...or if anyone knows how to make cellulite disappear? I have heard that cellulite is genetic to a point...and I have tried a lot of exercises to tone up and make cellulite less noticeable, and I eat pretty healthy (with the exception of splurges now and than) but I still have this problem. Any suggestions would really help! Thanks!

A: One good small exercise at home is: stand close to the wall, push your back against the wall and just lower your body until you come into position similar to sitting "in air". Hold that position as long as you can, say 3 minutes. Do it few times a days, every day. It'll make your thighs firmer.

Natural and very effective ways to reduce cellulite

2009-02-03T12:56:00.000-08:00

Q: Are there natural and very effective ways to reduce cellulite?
I'm 5'6" and I weigh 121.5 pounds. I'm 18 years old, and I'm still in college. My waistline is 28.5" and my hips measure 33.5", in case it helps.

My stretch marks appear behind my thighs, near my butt, and on the top, front part of my thighs. They aren't very obvious, but it's visible when I wear a bikini.

I've tried using Nivea's Goodbye Cellulite for about a month, but I stopped because I didn't really see any difference, and because I misplaced it.

So, are there any proven methods you use to reduce cellulite? Something natural, for example, oats or the like. Or a massage technique perhaps? Personal experience would be highly valued. Thank you very much!

(It's actually kinda lumpy where there are stretch marks on my behind.)

Affordable ways to reduce cellulite

2009-01-31T12:22:00.000-08:00

Q: Are there any affordable ways to reduce cellulite?
I realize cellulite is merely fat, but aren't there treatments that can help compress or smooth the appearance of cellulite? I am not overweight, and I exercise regularly. Other than dieting down from a size 6 to a size 1, aren't there any affordable products or home remedies that can help? It's not unbearably hideous, but it does make me reluctant to wear shorts in public.

Incidentally, I've tried cellulite creams, but most are too expensive for me to use on a daily/nightly basis. I've noticed that caffeine and seaweed are frequent ingredients in cellulite creams, however. Are there any home remedies involving caffeine that might help?

A: You've got it all right - the dieting (not starving!, but choosing wisely what to eat), exercising and using good, cheap and effective home remedies will help you to reduce cellulite.

Q: I'm a thin girl but I have cellulite and stretch marks and it makes me feel well not pretty and guys like air brushed barbie doll models and with my cellulite I'm the furthest thing from a beautiful model. People say that the cellulite creams don't work and I don't know what else to try I do yoga and I do work out and I have noticed a difference but if anyone knows something that may help me please let me know.

Q: What's the best way to get rid of cellulite on your thighs?
It's bathing suit season, and I have cellulite. I've tried the creams and lotions for skin smoothing--they don't work. I work 12 hour days sitting at a computer 5 days a week. I'm pretty exhausted when I get home, so I've had a hard time being motivated to workout. I'm about 20 lbs overweight, I know, but I was wondering if there were any simple exercises that target the thigh area, specifically to tone and flatten that cellulite. I want to wear my bikini confidently--not covered by a pair of long shorts... Any suggestions? Advice? Help?

A: Practically any exercise that makes your legs move would be good for you. Maybe you could try some new things that you'd like and so exercise more than usual - for example take a dancing class.
But also running, jumping, swimming... would do it too.

One good small exercise at home is: stand close to the wall, push your back against the wall and just lower your body until you come into position similar to sitting "in air". Just try to be in that position as long as you can, say 3 minutes. Do it few times a days, every day. It'll make your thighs firmer.

Causes of stretch marks and cellulite

2008-11-19T21:06:00.000-08:00

Q: What are stretch marks and cellulite caused by?
I have a friend who is extremely skinny. She's 5.2" and weights 97 lbs but she has cellulite on the backs of her upper thighs and stretch marks on her buttocks and the backs of her knee. I don't get it. I'm 5.5" and I weight 120lb and we both don't work out and I don't have cellulite or stretch marks. I don't understand. I thought only people who gained a lot of weight rapidly got stretch marks like in pregnancies. She's too skinny, and she hates her legs. What could she do? Her mother who doesn't know she has this problem bought her a bunch of short shorts and she wants to wear them, but she wants to get rid of the cellulite and stretch marks. What can she do? Btw, she does not have fatty foods or any red meats in her diets. she only eats vegetables, fruits, pastas and white meat.

A: Her skin lacks vitamins E and C. She should use a body cream or lotion for stretch marks prevention that are rich with vitamins. She can try making some home remedies, as well.
Stretch marks are there to stay, but could be less visible if treated with creams or lotions, of which specially good is cocoa butter based creams and lotions, or cocoa butter itself.
If the stretch marks go really bad she could recover her skin's appearance with laser treatments.

For cellulite removal she has many options. Here you can find many tips for getting rid of cellulite. Also, feel free to look around, there are many useful articles, tips and advices around here.

There are many other ways to lose cellulite.
Here's the list of food that helps fighting cellulite.

And, the 10 useful advices in preventing and solving cellulite:

1. Consume liquid. It is most recommended to drink pure water. Water helps in detoxification of your body. Many studies showed how essential it is for our body to consume enough water.

2. Regularize your eating habits. Cut down on fat rich food, proteins of animal origin, simple carbohydrate (e. g. ordinary sugar). Consume more fruit and vegetable, complex carbohydrates (e. g. rice, cereals). Avoid eating too late in the evening, and make breakfast your central meal. Rather have more small meals during the day than few big ones.

3. Vitamin C, potassium and sulfur rich food. Those help removing "bad" substances from your body.

4. Avoid coffee and alcohol. They help reducing water form your body and therefor should be avoided. From other hand, some say that consuming coffee is good for getting rid of cellulite. So, take the coffee thing with a grain of salt, i. e. if you like it and think it benefits you than drink it, otherwise don't.

5. Avoid salted and spicy food. Salt is one of the main causative agents of cellulite accumulation. Try adding less and less salt, as cutting it instantly will make your food taste really grouse.

6. Detoxification. For detoxification through urine use herb teas, especially nettles tea. It is also recommended to use dried plums, wheat sprouts, flax seeds and oat meal - you know what kind of detoxification this is :)

7. Oxygen - spend your time in nature. Breathing clean air is... well, do I really have to explain why is this good for you?!

8. At least half an hour of exercising daily. It stimulates metabolism and helps extracting toxins. Physical inactivity is one of biggest causes of cellulite accumulation. Swimming is considered to be the most useful physical activity for preventing and solving cellulite.

9. Massage. Gentle massage of critical parts of your body stimulates blood and lymph circulation, and so helps reducing cellulite. There's no need for rough pressing or crude massage, as cellulite layer is situated only 3 -5 millimeters under your skin.

10. Relax. Many consider stress as one of main causes of cellulite accumulation - so, relax! If that would be as easy as they say it!
