Cellulite Talk with Nutritionist Magie Tamraz

My Dearest Beauties,

Most of us ladies dread it! I do not blame you, cellulite is a nightmare. For that reason I thought I would share the solutions of a professional. 

Cellulite is mainly caused by the accumulation of saturated fats, that are generally found in animal products. It doesn't stop there. It is also caused by many other mistakes we commit in our everyday life. Mistakes like:

1. High consumption of simple carbs (like soft drinks). When consumed in excess, these convert into fats.
2. High salt consumption and drink water during meals. This causes water retention which expands the fat in our body.
3. Low consumption of fruits and vegetables. 
4. Lack of physical activity.

It is easier to think of solutions once you know the causes. Avoid these mistakes and you will experience less cellulite. Start by, substituting butter, ghee and lard with olive and canola oil. Reduce saturated fats, you can always opt for 0% fat cuts of meat and diary products. Try to season your food with less salt and avoid water during and immediately after meals (wait for an hour). Substitute your simple carbs with whole grain products and diet drinks. Add more veggies, fruits and exercise to your everyday life.

At this point you might be asking yourself if cellulite reducing massages are of any help. Well, they are, if and only if you stick to the solutions above.

I hope you have found this post interesting and helpful. You can always visit Magie for a more personalized look at your fitness inquiries.
