– Contributed by – Joey Atlas, Women’s Body Enhancement Specialist — M.S., Exercise Physiology Cellulite has often been termed “the curse of women” because so many suffer from the annoying orange peel skin dimples and fat deposits on their hips, bums and thighs. Unfortunately, too many women also throw thousands and thousands of dollars down the drain on totally ineffective “treatments” and useless products. That is because most people don’t really know what “cellulite” is, or what causes these odd dimples on the lower body trouble zones…  

Gotu Kola

Gotu kola is an herbal remedy suggested by Roberty Rister, an active nutritional supplement formulator. This nutrient contains an active ingredient known as forskolin, which functions to break down the substances that hold fat cells in place. You should take this treatment as a daily supplement. Coffee is the ultimate weapon against cellulite! I am 18 years old and due to a small weight gain i noticed i was getting cellulite on my legs. Ive always had some but its gotten alot more visible. I hated wearing shorts and skirts that showed my legs. So one day i read about using used coffee grounds on your cellulite trouble spots. I decided to give it a try i had nothing to lose except cellulite. So i took the used coffee grounds from my coffee maker mixed it with lotion to give it a consistency that will make the coffee cling to my legs. You can also use oils such as coconut oil or olive oil. Whatever floats your boat. (: I applied it, left it on for about 10 mins and then massaged my legs (with the coffee still on them), rinsed it off, looked in the mirror and instantly the skin on my legs looked "firmer" and there was alot less cellulite "indents" hah. It absolutely works. However remember, the appearance of cellulite can be reduced for a certain time period. It does come back eventually. I suggest do the coffee treatment 2 or 3 times a week. Do not overdo it especially if you have sensitive skin because you will break out in little red spots, nothing too serious however. Goes away with a little application of ACV or on its own in a few days. Combine with exercise and overall reduction of body fat (if necessary) and you will have the smooth even looking legs every female wants. Tess from San Francisco, California writes: "After a colonoscopy last month I was suffering from constipation for the first time in my life, so I started taking psyllium (bought in bulk from a natural foods store). At first I had a lot of gas and some abdominal discomfort, because I was taking too much. I found out that it is better to start slow--about a teaspoonful in 8oz of water, gradually building up to 1-2 tablespoons. I have been taking this amount daily for the past month and am noticing a significant decrease in waist size and LOSS OF ABDOMINAL CELLULITE.I am thrilled! NB: For the past year I have also followed a low fat diet, mostly plant based, no processed foods. I also do 30-45 minutes of cardio (swimming or running) 5-6 days per week. But still couldn't completely shed a pot belly and cellulite. Then I started taking psyllium. WOW. At the age of 54 I figured I was stuck with the dreaded "spare tire" around the middle. Not so! I am not sure if the effect would be so dramatic if I were not exercising and eating such a healthy diet... Also there is some impressive scientific research, very reputable, indicating that psyllium can lower high blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and high cholesterol. It contributes to improved cardiac health by reducing atherosclerosis. Psyllium has been used for centuries in Indian and Chinese medicine to fight gout and inflammation. Wonderful stuff which is similar to Bentonite, for its detoxing abilities, and started a protocol to try to reduce my bodies toxic load before getting pregnant. After about a month, I was just stunned to see that my cellulite was disappearing, and at that point I had just given up on caring about it anymore. Update: 12 months later, my cellulite is the best it has ever been since I did the detox before getting pregnant, and this is the 9th month. Women around the world complain that pregnancy makes their cellulite worse. I think that Zeolite detox protocol can have amazing long term results for hard cellulite. Hard cellulite is not subcuntaneous and needs a targeted protocol that can penetrate deep within to remove the underlying toxins. I was also using an infrared sauna and drinking lots of Penta water to aid the flush. I would also assume that for cases worse than mine, using an ultrasound method of fat liquidation, like Dermasonic or Lipo Ex would further assist in the process. Rock on I've had cellulite on my buttocks pretty much all my life, even though I'm quite thin. Wasn't too worried about it. Started on powdered zeolite a couple of weeks ago for an overall detox and was pretty surprised to note a dramatic reduction in cellulite in my problem area. Zeolite helps remove toxins from the body and I've read that cellulite is little more than trapped toxins, so it makes sense. Very pleased with the progress and look forward to the results getting even better with time. Who do you believe? This video contradicts the first article.
