CELLULITE: WEIGHT LOSS PROBLEMS

• Beer guts and big bottoms

Estrogen programs the cellulite to collect on a woman’s hips, backside and thighs, where fat is stored in readiness for childbirth.

Testosterone programs the cellulite to collect on a man’s stomach, chest and underneath the arms.

Women complain about big bottoms. Men complain about beer guts.

• Spot reduction doesn’t work

Spot reduction doesn’t work. So don’t go wrapping your body while exercising, whether Jerry Hall does it or not! No wetsuit either. Fat will come off once you start an exercise routine accompanied by correct eating habits.

Fat does not come off ‘in spots’ but equally all over the body. The only reason people believe it can be targeted to certain parts of the body is because it is more noticeable in certain areas where there’s less in the first place, like the face.

• Better buy a smaller bra!

‘Am I going to lose my breasts?’ Yes, when you lose weight, you also lose your breasts – because breasts are largely fat!

However, if you are worried about losing your breasts, there are ways of compensating. For example, you can have better looking breasts with exercise -*by developing the muscle tone underneath the breast to support it better.

• Stretch marks are not associated with weight loss

Losing weight off your stomach, your breasts or anywhere else, should not result in stretch marks.

If it were true that weight loss produces stretch marks, you would get stretch marks everywhere when you lose weight.

• Sweat is not essential for weight loss

Give us this day our daily sweat is an exaggeration. You do not have to sweat every day in order to lose weight, and to lose cellulite.

Exercise will break down the cellulite. When you exercise, you probably do sweat. And if you exercise every day, you probably sweat on a daily basis. But it’s a myth that activating the sweat glands is associated with weight loss. Exercise is what makes you sweat, and exercise gets rid of cellulite
