It is almost impossible to hide cellulite, so many people prefer to fight it with diet. Certain foods help cellulite sufferers reduce the subcutaneous deposits of specific fat, thereby improving their overall appearance and appearance by reducing volume and evening out the surface of the skin, which becomes smoother and firmer. In addition, a person becomes more energetic and stops reacting if he needs to be naked on the beach while on vacation.
The anti-cellulite diet is a very effective remedy if strictly followed. Remember that your favorite eclair can instantly turn into another unwanted lump. It's best to think about vitamins concentrated in grapefruits, vegetables, cereals and other cellulite-reducing foods.

What can't you eat?
You should carefully study the list of foods that should not be on the table. It is advisable to accept as truth that the foods listed below should be excluded from the diet forever.
List:
- alcohol, any except good quality red wine;
- pastries and fresh bread;
- ready-made juices and carbonated sweet drinks;
- animal fats;
- canned food;
- ready-made sauces, ketchups, mayonnaise;
- instant drinks (coffee and tea);
- confectionery and sweets, except dark chocolate;
- smoked meats and pickles.
Sugar and salt in their pure form are kept to a minimum, but it would be better to exclude them. Salt is considered essential, but many people believe that the salt found in meat and plant foods is sufficient for the functioning of the body. In any case, its amount per day should not exceed 5 g, this is a level teaspoon.
The issue of bread requires special attention. Many nutritionists believe that gluten contained in cereals contributes to weight gain and the development of cellulite. This opinion is considered controversial, but if you wish, you can try excluding bread and cereals from your diet for 2-3 weeks and see the result.
Bananas are also a controversial product. They have a lot of potassium, plus they have the property of enveloping the stomach, which promotes rapid saturation. But the high sugar content requires limiting their consumption when fighting cellulite.
Potatoes are usually on the list of prohibited foods, but baked or boiled they can be consumed no more than 2 times a week.
It is recommended to regulate the consumption of dairy products, taking into account your individual characteristics. Nutritionists recommend spending 2 weeks without them and recording the results. Then 2 weeks with them - compare. If weight gain has not occurred, you can leave dairy products in your diet, but only low-fat ones.
What you need besides diet
Based on the lists above, you can create a delicious and varied menu for yourself without resorting to hunger strikes. Without a diet, losing weight is also possible, but at a slower rate. If you accept the bans forever, the weight will gradually decrease and will not return.
If the goal is to get rid of the external manifestations of cellulite, then you will have to use one of the diet options. It must be remembered that hunger strikes will not help, since metabolic disorders can only be cured by a balanced diet. Therefore, strict mono-diets are immediately excluded. To obtain an obvious result, an integrated approach is required, which implies:
- diet;
- physical activity;
- special massage (anti-cellulite massage uses creams and ointments designed to smooth problem areas of the body);

A diet for cellulite on the legs and butt suggests that a person must monitor his diet more carefully, then you will notice how your buttocks again acquire an attractive appearance. The basic rules are:
- You should not overeat or eat rarely. Over the course of a whole day, a person should eat about 5-6 times with an interval of three hours. But this does not mean that you have to overeat; portions should be small and nutritious. At first it will be difficult to get used to this, but over time a person will get used to it.

- Do not overload on fruits, a maximum of three medium fruits per day. This is especially true for those with a lot of sugar.
- Bread is included in the list of what you should not eat to avoid cellulite, as it provokes the appearance of orange peel.
- Cook food only by steaming or in foil. Frying or stewing provokes the formation of fat cells.
Authorized Products

- Water. The first and most important product to use. To get rid of cellulite, it is very important to consume enough fluid. In this case, a person should drink up to 1.5 liters of ordinary water, this does not include sweet drinks, coffee, tea and the like. A big advantage of drinking liquid is cleansing the body of harmful toxins and substances; if the body receives a small amount of water, then these harmful substances will poison the internal organs.
- A number of acceptable and recommended foods include: fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, dried fruits and other foods that contain a large amount of fiber. Fiber also helps the body remove all kinds of harmful substances, thereby breaking down fat deposits.
- Protein products include low-fat fish, lean meat, eggs and low-fat dairy products. Protein foods are great for post-workout consumption.
- As for obtaining fats, vegetable fat in the form of olive and flaxseed oil is allowed in small quantities. You can also allow consumption of fatty fish, nuts and seeds.
- Consumption of dried fruit decoctions and herbal decoctions is highly recommended. As part of an anti-cellulite diet, it is very useful to prepare juices from fresh fruits, but they must be consumed in limited quantities. They will saturate the body with essential vitamins and minerals. It is also useful to take vitamins after and before training.
Prohibited Products
A diet to get rid of cellulite involves excluding the following foods from your diet:
- It is strictly prohibited to consume salt, animal fats and sugar.
- Smoked meats, sausages, sausages, sausages, canned food. Products that contain large amounts of preservatives, dyes, sweeteners and other chemical additives.
- Dairy products whose fat content exceeds 1.5%.
- Excessive consumption of alcohol and caffeine, all due to the fact that they retain water from the body, thereby causing harmful substances to accumulate more under the skin.
- For the same reason as coffee and alcoholic drinks, the consumption of pickled vegetables and marinades is allowed.
- The use of margarine and all kinds of spreads is strictly prohibited. They contain a large amount of fats, which are harmful not only to the figure, but also to human health. Hence it follows that you cannot consume baked goods and other products that are made on their basis.
If you are serious about the fight against cellulite and are choosing an anti-cellulite diet, then initially you must calculate your daily calorie intake. The approximate result can be calculated using a formula that is easy to find on the Internet. At the start, it is worth reducing the diet by 500-1000 calories, this will stimulate the body so that it begins to actively burn fat in order to replenish the body with the necessary energy for normal functioning.
The daily diet should consist of 40% protein foods, 20%. Allocated to carbohydrates obtained from fruits and vegetables, 30% are slow carbohydrates. The remaining 10% can be classified as fats, but only of the plant type and from dairy products. This distribution of nutrients will allow you to get rid of obvious signs of orange peel in just a few months, it will also stimulate you to lose extra pounds and even out the surface of the skin.

What is cellulite and how to fight it
The anti-cellulite diet was created by nutritionist Nicole Ronsard; it is balanced, long-lasting, and less harmful to the body than other diets.

Cellulite: concept
Cellulite is fat that is unevenly distributed in tissues (“orange peel”), looking like pits and bumps that spoil the appearance of the skin.
Even if you go on a diet, any part of your body will lose weight, but cellulite will not disappear.
Cellulite can appear in any woman, as it appears due to the improper distribution of fat in the tissues.
In order to defeat the “orange peel” you need an integrated approach: following an anti-cellulite diet, massage, body wraps, physical activity, etc.
Causes of cellulite

- unbalanced diet,
- improper drinking regime,
- sedentary lifestyle,
- accumulation of waste, toxins in the body,
- impaired metabolism,
- small amount of bile,
- fluid retention in the body.
Preparing for the anti-cellulite diet
Cleansing the circulatory system and lymphatic system of the body. Then the fat accumulated in the body, including from areas affected by cellulite, will “go away” faster.
