Cellulite....the battle continues

Well Ladies,

now that sommer knocked on the door we all want to get in summer shape quick and of course get rid of this very unpleasant thing called Cellulite.
Yeah I know I also hate to be reminded of Cellulite, but we all have it (if you say NO, well either you are a very very blessed woman or a liar it is that simple).

Cellulite is an aesthetic condition that comprises superficial fat accumulation, skin laxity, fluid retention, inflammation, fibrosis (connective tissue internal scarring) and toxin accumulation on the female thighs and hips. Yes, I know I also don´t want to know this....to much information, or.

But what can we do to win this battle? How can we get a nice, smooth skin? How to get finally rid of Cellulite??

Well sorry to say this now, I know already that you will hate me but: "There´s no cure," says Neil Sadick, MD, a Manhattan dermatologist. Neil Sadick recently reviewed the science behind some of the most popular treatments. But there are new things out there that can really help.

OK at least there is hope out there. The battle is not lost yet...it is still on!!

But to be honest one of the true things that work is WEIGHT LOSS. Yeah OK I admit, that is a problem on it´s own. How many diets did we try and how stupid are they actually. I mean honestly there even exists a so called "cookie diet" where you are allowed to eat a cookie after every meal. So how small is the meal than?
Or how about one more crazy diet..the "sleeping beauty diet". OK, yes we all know that less sleep has a bad impact on our weight, so regular sleep is important. The solution is not to sedate yourself for days to make up for it. But that is exactly what this sort of diet reccomends...well OK you can´t eat when you sleep. 
So in this case would that not make sleeping pills a girl´s best friend??? Does not sound correct to me.

So, let´s come back to the subject. Gaining weight can add to your cellulite by making your fat cells bigger. More fat under the skin can make your legs look lumpier. Losing weight can reduce the look of cellulite, especially in women who have a lot of extra weight to lose. So losing weight is actually good, not only when we think of cellulite but also when it comes to summer and bikini outfits....hmm.

Second thing that might...but only might help are creams. Yes I already hear you moan and I can understand you. How many creams did we try already. All those commercials that influenced us to by this cream and this other cream with the hope of Cellulite being gone in only a few weeks. That hope was just a bubble and did not become a reality, well at least that was what I have experienced.
Also there has been a study by Johnson & Johnson that tested an unnamed anti-cellulite cream containing ingredients including caffeine and retinol. In this study the people had to take the cream twice a day. There was also a placebo cream involved. The results showed that those who took the real cream only had slightly better results than the one who took the placebo. So why are we actually buying all these expensive creams.
That makes me frustrated.

Oh and let us not forget about all the massages that promise to kill cellulite. They are really high in price but on the other side low in result. There also exists the possibility to just freeze the fat and remove also the cellulite. Sound OK if that really helps at a reasonable price but ... freeze my fat. That makes me think of an iglu.

Well and of course there still exists the possibility for surgery for all those out there with enough money.
But there must be a better and honest way to lose cellulite not just other fake promises. Of course eat clean, drink a lot of water and train hard are good options. I feel that there still should be some extra help, the so cold last push to win or at least really visibly reduce cellulite.
