Why You Have Cellulite Genetics, age, pregnancy and hormone levels are among the causes. Some people are born with weaker tissue structures that collect fat deposits more easily. Others experience a weakening of tissue structures as they age. And some women produce high levels of estrogen that tend to break apart collagen tissue fibers allowing for fat to deposit in the form of cellulite.
Other factors that contribute to cellulite include bodyfat levels, poor circulation, sun exposure, and poor food choices. Poor circulation damages tissue which results in blocked air and trapped toxins from too much processed food or food allergies while sun exposure ages your skin and contributes to the breakdown of collagen tissue. The good news is you can control most of these factors with the tips below.
Build Fat Burning Muscle Building muscle changes your body composition and burns off fat stores faster than cardio or dieting alone. For every pound of muscle you burn an extra 50 calories a day even while you sleep. Building muscle also increases circulation and elasticity, which tightens your muscles and skin tissue from within.

Eat Healthy Fats to Lose Bodyfat This is right on track with the recommendation above. People have been brainwashed to believe that all fat is bad when in reality omega 3 and omega 6 fats found in olive oil, avocados, almonds, walnuts, and flaxseed oil, boost metabolism and unlock stored body fat. "Glucagon is a key hormone that enables your body to burn it’s stores of body fat. A diet rich in omega fats helps balance your insulin levels so that glucagon can be released to unlock your body’s fat storage banks and begin converting unwanted body fat into energy" explains fatloss expert Jorge Cruise. Avoid fats found in margarine, fried foods, refined vegetable oils, full fat animal products, and processed foods that contain the words partially hydrogenated on the ingredients list.
Boost Fiber Intake
Dr. Scott Conelly author of Body Rx, explains that "when fiber is digested, it is fermented in the gut and converted into short-chain fatty acids, which can be burned for fuel. The burning of fatty acids from fiber sends a signal to your fat cells telling them to release fat, which your body uses for fuel. The fiber in food also creates a sensation of feeling full, so you feel more satisfied after eating it". Most Americans only get around 5 grams of fiber a day when you should be getting about 25-30 grams a day. Get your 25 grams from fruits, veggies, and healthy grains.
