The Original Cellulite Home Remedy

When reviewing information contained in The Cellulite Cure by Karen Sessions recently, I was reminded of a simple fact about cellulite and why so many of us have it. Unfortunately, it's a fact few women want to face but it's absolutely necessary if you really want to get rid of cellulite. Once you understand this basic truth, you'll have all the information you need to develop your own cellulite home remedy.

Karen refers to cellulite as toxic fat. She arrives at this term by reasoning that cellulite is basically caused by 2 things: excess fat and toxins that become trapped in the body. Let's look into the topic of excess body fat a bit further…

Excess fat accumulation close to the skin's surface results in that dimply, cottage cheese-like appearance we commonly refer to as cellulite. But if that's true, why do so many people who are thin or average-sized have cellulite? That's a common question asked by many women who are puzzled by their cellulite.

Can You Be Skinny AND Fat At The Same Time?

The best way I know to explain this situation is by referring to the concept of a "skinny fat person" – personal trainers sometimes use this term. Your body is composed of 3 main components: water, fat and muscle. Of course there are other things in there too, but fitness levels are typically measured using body fat percentages based on these 3 components. You've probably seen this with the body fat scales that became popular a few years back. They not only measure your weight but also the percent of body fat you're carrying.

If you've ever used one of these scales, you might have been surprised. You see, it's not uncommon for a thin person to have a relatively low percentage of muscle in their body, which relates to a corresponding high percentage of fat. When you look at someone, it's difficult to tell what their body composition is. You just take a quick look at say they're skinny, normal or fat.

Cellulite isn't usually a problem for someone when they're young, but as they get older it's a different story. From a body fat perspective, the best way to protect against and combat this problem is by increasing your muscle strength and size. You don't need to become a bodybuilder, but you would serve yourself well to build some lean muscle mass and lose any excess body fat.

Losing fat and gaining lean muscle consists of 3 basic steps:

1. Proper nutrition
2. Cardiovascular exercise
3. Strength training

Karen discusses all three of these components and a lot more in The Cellulite Cure. In it, she provides exactly what you need to plan a cellulite home remedy to your exact specifications.
