Hey everyone, my name is Carol, originally from the area, and I made this site to try to dispel some of the myths about cellulite.  First, about myself: I’m 5’5” and 130lbs.  I’m not exactly as heavy as most people that get the stuff, but for a while I had cellulite all over me.  Some kinda genetic thing, because my mom has had it too since my age.  Plus, it got worse around my inner thighs and tummy after I got pregnant. 

It’s tough because people tell you so many different things to do about it.  First I heard to try drinking more coffee… then it was avoid coffee… later I hear that exercise helps, and yet others say exercising won’t do squat!  Then there’s all the cellulite creams on the market, and who knows which ones actually work, right?

Well, after about three years of trying different stuff, I came up with two ways that work about the same.  The first way is more work, but is also free.  The second way isn’t free, but is much easier.

Method 1:

1.       Drink plenty of water.  3+ liters a day.  This flushes out leftover sodium that causes fluid retention.

2.       Exercise!  Both cardio and weights.  Gaining fat weight would only make it worse.

3.       Reduce stress and smoking.  These can both make cellulite worse.

4.       Ask a loved one for a massage.  This helps increase circulation.

Method 2:

1.       Use a cream called Cellulean, www.cellulean.com with a free trial.  I started with Body Solution, then switched to many other creams, now I prefer Cellulean which I think is one of the best.  Check out their website here for more info (ESSENTIAL)

2.       Vital RezV: I’ve been on this for a year now (www.freevitalrezv-100mg.com  to get the free trial), TV shows rave about it, and I love it! This will make sure your cellulite doesn’t get any WORSE, plus it has a whole bunch of other benefits.  Check out their website here (OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED)

I wish everyone the best of luck.  Follow one of my methods and I’ll see you on the beach this summer!
