YOUR ONE DAY CELLULITE-BUSTING MEAL PLAN
Whatever your body shape, cellulite probably isn't on your summer "must haves" list. While your cheek dimples are cute, they're probably not so desired on your derrière. So how can you get rid of cellulite?
The secret's all in your nutrition: with the right cellulite-busting foods, you can kiss your dimples goodbye and smooth out that orange peel.
As well as eating right, it's essential that you stay hydrated; did you know dehydration makes cellulite more visible? Drinking enough throughout the day and nailing your eight glasses goal is esssential.
Have your phone give you hourly reminders, or try Ulla (£25, ulla.io). Put the sensor around your bottle and it detects when you take a drink, to remind you when it's time for another sip. In the evenings, opt for peppermint tea. It's not only refreshing, but it also aids digestion. Bonus.
97 percent of women with cellulite say they want to change something about their bodies, while 79 percent admit to wearing clothes that hide their cellulite. But summer is here, so don't let dimples keep you from dusting off the hotpants lurking in your wardrobe.
Try out this cellulite-busting plan and you'll be well on your way to a smoother behind.
BREAKFAST
Start your day with a bowl of natural yoghurt topped with flaxseeds and berries. The addition of flaxseeds will help to regulate your oestrogen levels, which, if they're too high, can worsen the appearance of cellulite.
LUNCH
For lunch, take a mixed pepper frittata and a generous handful of rocket to work. Not only will the eggs keep you full throughout the afternoon, but they're a good source of protein and collagen-promoting amino acids.
SNACK
Craving something crunchy? Snack on water-rich vegetables, such as celery, cucumber or courgette, to curb those cravings and keep your hydration levels topped up. Be sure to drink eight glasses (or more) of water in order to keep hydrated and avoid making the appearance of cellulite worse.
DINNER
For dinner, go for steamed wild salmon, brown rice, broccoli, olive oil, cayenne and lemon. That healthy dose of omega-3 helps tp improve the fluidity and stability of cell membranes, stopping them from breaking down and resulting in an uneven skin texture. source:www.womenshealthmag.co.uk
