Is it enough to go on a diet to lose cellulite?

No, it is not enough of a slimming program to remove the famous orange peel, since cellulite is not necessarily linked to overweight.
As everyone knows, we never lose (unfortunately) ever where we would like!

Generally, we quickly lose upper body ie breasts, arms and belly .
The fat on the hips or thighs is very difficult to eliminate because it has a role: it is an energy reserve to meet the requirements of pregnancy and lactation !

The fight against cellulite is therefore won over the long term, combining a balanced diet , regular physical activity and targeted action on the areas targeted "abs-glutes" to firm and strengthen (draining self-massages and disinfiltrants and cosmetic care slimming).

Why does cellulite affect only women?

Men can also have cellulite , but they are estimated at only 2% . Lucky !
Why cellulite concerns women?

The reasons are multiple.
- Hormonal reasons : the development of cellulite is regulated by female hormones (estrogen).
- Physiological reasons : fat lobules are larger in women and they are perpendicular to the dermis, while in humans they are oblique and therefore form much less cellulite!

Finally, we also note that adipocytes are distributed differently in men and women.
For the fairer sex , they are on the stomach, buttocks and hips while in these gentlemen , they are mainly on the abdomen!

Note : this aspect "orange peel" is explained by the finesse and fragility of "female" skins that have more ease to deform ...

Why once eradicated, does cellulite come back?

We are unfortunately programmed as well !

A shock treatment can significantly reduce cellulite. But the most difficult thing is to make sure to limit the return of our sworn enemies: capitons!

And there, no mystery: only the regularity pays.
It is therefore necessary to apply specific care, massage the rebel zones, monitor his plate and practice regular physical activity .

Which sports keep cellulite at bay?

The first thing to remember is that the body only draws on our fat reserves after 30 minutes of physical effort .

If you want to lose fat , it is therefore important to focus on endurance sports such as cycling, jogging, swimming or aerobics, in addition to targeted exercises to regale and firm areas prone to the appearance of cellulite (gym, stretching, yoga ...).
