It's certainly possible! Sugar is one of the chief suspects in our investigation. See, The Cellulite Investigation's Spotlight on Sugar. Please let us know if you're able to figure this one out. It would be interesting to see if you notice this cause and effect relationship again in the future. By the way, what is Haribo sweeties mix?!

I found your site today as my cellulite was really aching and I was wondering whether this was normal! I have been doing a lot of yoga this year and therefore I’m far more intune with my body than I used to be.

Yesterday I tucked into a tub of Haribo sweeties mix. I usually try to have a healthy diet (thanks to Weston Price and Sally Fallon) but fell of the wagon big time (I blame the colder evenings at home ;D). Anyway, I wonder if the aching today is related to my sugar overdose yesterday?

Thanks for the tips, Tee! This site looks fantastic: http://fitnessblackbook.com/ And yes, I’ve heard of Callanetics. It’s similar to Physique57 (I think P57 was based on callanetics). It does seem like an ideal exercise for cellulite. I wrote to the company and asked for a product to review on the site, but I didn’t hear back from them. It can quickly get expensive testing all these cellulite treatments so I really have to be selective when the company doesn’t provide a product to review for the investigation. Do you think Callanetics is worth it over Rumi or Joey Atlas?

Oh sorry, me again. Have you heared of Callanetics? It’s like pilates meets ballet training. It does apparently wonders in toning up and reducing cellulite and is less strenuous than HIIT. Google the before and after photos. If they are true, it’s amazing…
Another very good blog is the “Fitness Black Book”. The guy is very good with critical thinking regarding fitness myths and researching the latest fitness and nutrition finding.
I mean, hey, getting and staying in shape is a key element in reducing cellulite, right

These exercises are great because noo need of gym, you work with your own body weight and the workout is brutal (high intensity interval training) but short so you don’t overtrain = most efficent for fat loss and toning! But hasn’t Rumi still her free youtube videos, also on her page? If you type “cellulite” in the search engines of both sites it should give you all relevant exercises. they are all good, i thing most important are lunges, leg presses and hip extensions (http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/single-leg-hip-extension) they all target the cellulite zones especially. I would think either Rumi or Joey Atlas are worth the expense. But bodyrock gives you alot for free

Awesome, Tee! Thanks for the intel on this! So you noticed tender spots with the cupping, too? My calves were incredibly tender when I first started but now that has gone away completely. My upper thighs have several tender spots now. I hope that means the lymphatic congestion is working its way out through the normal lymph pathways. I just Googled workouts with Rumi and it looks like she is charging $40 now for her videos. Still seems like a good price considering she probably put a lot of work into them. Are they worth the investment? I love the tag line for the bodyrock site: The Home Workout Movement. That site is amazing! They have so many workouts. Do you have a favorite one for cellulite?

Yes, I have the Atlas programm and it is very good! It works your legs and butt from every angle and doing these exercises regularly does make shapely legs and hence the skin and fat stretches over the new muscle tissue. It works, to a degree. But, as we know here, exercise alone won’t do the trick, if your lymphatic system is troubled. Dry skin brushing with exercise was agood combination but again, not enough. I just got my bellabaci cups and started to do some cupping, and yes, cellulite is bloody painful! Let’s see, if this type of deep massaging brings further improvements. And if somebody wants great exercises for free, google “bodyrock.tv” and “Workouts with Rumi”. They have the best and most effective anti cellulite exercises and all for free (and damn, these women are beautiful and in shape)

Hi, Gunesh. Diet is SO important when it comes to an effective anti cellulite strategy. Here is a summary of what we've learned so far regarding the best and worst foods for cellulite: Treating Cellulite in the Kitchen. Sugar and transfats are bad. You might be pleasantly surprised to find that saturated fats, such as butter and coconut oil, are actually good for cellulite! They provide all the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids that the body needs to repair damaged fatty areas. It's also important to find out if you have any food sensitivities (gluten, dairy, corn, soy ,etc). These will sabotage you're anti-cellulite effort if you are sensitive to them.

Melissa, thank you, for this great information. I too, have been suffering with cellulite all my life. Could you, please tell us, what to eat, and what not eat, to help to minimize the condition? I have a good idea, about nutrition, however, I want to make sure, that what I am doing, is the right thing. Thank you, your help, will be greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day. Gunesh Asci.

What a meanie he is! Yes, it does suck. Fortunately there is much you can do to make them less sensitive! See How To Get Rid of Cellulite. Following the ideas on this page did the trick for me. My legs are no longer sensitive. Hooray!
