Diet and Cellulite

Most people are familiar with the saying "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips". Most of us say this without realising how true it is, however, the danger lies in thinking that this applies to all the food we eat. Actually, this is not the case. The obvious point is that some foods will pile on unnecessary pounds faster than others, but which ones?

It's important to realise that starving yourself in a quest to be slim and get rid of cellulite simply doesn't work, and can even cause you to put on more weight and lumps in the long run. After all, nobody can survive on cucumber slices and fresh air for any length of time. Not only that, but the lack of nutrients will upset the finely balanced body functions, leading to unpleasant skin tone and plenty of health problems to add to your misery.

I think that a major factor in cellulite accumulating on the body is due to the increase in consumption of a delicious but addictive substance which is proving to be a modern day curse in the developed world. However, this substance is in so many things that we eat, we take it in most of the time without realising it, in things such as ready prepared meals. We also eat it in more obvious ways in the form of cakes, cookies, drinks, and a host of treats that we can't imagine life without.

Yes, you've guessed it, it's SUGAR.

Seriously, it is hard to emphasise in a blog how much of a disservice we do to ourselves by eating this stuff, and of course it is just as hard to follow a diet without it, with all the social pressure from people who say "Go on, a little of what you fancy does you good". Yes that is true, but the keyword is a LITTLE. At this point you need to ask yourself "Do I want that treat, or do I want to look better?"

Take it from me, I decided to cut out sugar from my diet two years ago. The fact is although I had some horrible lumpy cellulite, this wasn't the reason for ditching sugar. By the way, I am a 56 year old girl, so this seemed inevitable to me at the time. No, the reason I did it was because I had a poorly stomach which felt like an ulcer was developing, so I was unable to eat it anyway.

Some months down the line, I noticed that my tummy and thighs were becoming distinctly smoother, and I realised that there must be something to this! Now, I wasn't very overweight, but I also dropped 15lbs with no dieting whatsoever. I was so pleased by this wonderful side effect that I decided that sugar was going to be just a minor part of my diet.

You will notice that I have not said that I have cut it out altogether, I still enjoy a small dessert or slice of cake now and again. The point is that you don't have to have a miserable diet to enjoy the benefits. If you are still not convinced, I will bring you more horrible facts about sugar in future posts.
