12 Facts about Cellulite

If you or anyone you've loved has ever been a victim of cellulite, then... that's normal. But one can one do about it?

Well, much I like I like to wage war against the fitness industry of con men and myths, I'll help you wage war against this evil curse known as CELLULITE.

1) What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is dimples in your fat. That's it.

It's nothing more than fat under your skin that's pushing out and creates the ugly cellulite look.

2) How to Get Rid of Cellulite

Get rid of the fat, you'll get rid of the cellulite.

Yep, that's it. That simple, yet that difficult for many.

3) Don't use Liposuction

Liposuction only sucks out the fat, not the cellulite underneath. And will actually make it look worse.

The horror stories of post lypo work will be an article unto itself.

4) The Cellulite Industry wants to Rip You Off

There is no evidence that Cellulite Creams, Rollers, or whatever else work. There is scientific proof that they can have harmful side effects. All Risk-No Gain.

The only guarantee I can give you about any of these products is they will cost money.

5) Once Again, The Only Cure is to Nutrition and Exercise

Remember what I said earlier about the only cure is to lose the fat, I meant it.

6) Cellulite Will Be More Prominent in Some Areas, Thus Will Be Harder to Fight

You can't choose which part of your body you lose fat from. You'll have to lose all the body fat necessary for you to lose that fat from that area, the area that has the the Cellulite.

7) You're a Victim of Your DNA

Like almost everything in fitness, some are more genetically inclined to have it than others. So some will have much more fat and no cellulite, while others can be relatively lean and still have some cellulite.

8) Cellulite is Immortal

It never truly goes away, just harder to see when you lose the weight.

9) Women are Screwed

Once again, women are screwed in the fitness department as women predominantly put on more cellulite than men.

10) Just Add Bad Habits

10) Think of Cellulite as plant. If you'd like it to grow just add bad diets, fad diets, no sleep, smoking, etc.

As if you needed another reason to not do the above. Remember as I said before, Cellulite is an immortal monster. Don't feed the beast.

11) Massage Won't Cure Cellulite

You may have heard massage therapy can make make cellulite diminish.

It's true, but only temporarily, then it goes back to normal.

Chose massage therapy for all the other benefits, not for cellutlite.

12)  Lasers and Science Can't Help You

"Can't the latest research and newest lasers destroy cellulite?" Maybe one day. But today is not that day.

Like I said many times, the only cure is to GET RID OF THE FAT.

FINAL THOUGHT

Cellulite is a lot like stubborn body fat, slow metabolism, small body parts you wish were bigger, etc. It's just your genetic make up. You can choose to make it better or worse, but basically it's part of you and how you deal with it. Accept defeat and let it takeover, or fight the good fight and keep it in it's place. Yeah, some people have it easier, but you have it easier in other departments.

That's it for this week. Keep sending those questions in and yours may become the next blog post.

5 Myths Debunked

1) HIIT is Better than Moderate Cardio

There's no evidence that high intensity cardio is better than moderate cardio. Purely anecdotal.

Yes, you can burn more calories in a shorter period of time when increasing intensity. But when intensity increases, volume and frequency must decrease. So since you must do less, it all averages out about the same.

Moderate cardio is easier on the joints, CNS, recovery, and is proven to be effective.

Yes many lean people do high intensity cardio, but to paraphrase Lyle McDonald "Many lean people do HIIT, but they're most likely lean because people willing to do HIIT consistently are most likely willing to follow a diet."

2) Low Carb Diets are the Best Diets

Low carb diets force people to eat more protein, and make it hard to overeat.

Whey you're left with only meat to eat, you'll be getting more than enough protein.

It's also hard to overeat and snack on rib eye steaks and grilled chicken.

Which is the only reason it works.

If you wan to do it go for it, but it's miserable and unnecessary.

It's just a food restriction.

3) Gluten Causes Fat

Again, just like the keto/low carb/paleo/Atkins/ect. diet, all the foods that have gluten are the foods people overeat.

Get rid of those foods and it's hard to overeat. Yep, the same as the low carb diet.

Only people the few people on earth that are allergic to gluten need to avoid it.

Just another new thing to demonize and market some stupid book. And the're plenty of idiots that capitalized selling this to other idiots.

4) High Reps Mean Lean Muscle

There's no such thing as lean muscle. Terms like toned, and lean muscle are nothing but marketing terms that don't actually mean anything.

Purely used to sell fitness to women because they're often scared to get too bulky, which again, is not something real.


Women like this, who swear they're drug free natural lifters are what scare women. They're on plenty of steroids, but since they say they're not women are scared they'll end up looking like this from lifting weights.

Muscle is muscle, unless you are on steroids you don't have anything to worry about. Keep your body fat low, lift weights, and you'll be lean with muscle.

5) Ab Workouts for Six Pack

Abs are small muscles, working them only helps with core strength.

Core strength is great, but won't help you with a six pack or obliques.

Losing body fat is the only thing to reveal your hidden abs and shed your love handles.

They'll be plenty of scammers marketing abs books, ab workout bootcamps, etc. for those stupid enough to believe it. If you like overtraining a small muscle and wasting money and time, don't let me stop you.

The Fitness Industry is 98.6% Bullshit. So beware at all times.
