Cellulite is any woman’s worst nightmare. And no matter how skinny you are or how in shape you are, cellulite is something that you sometimes can’t avoid— no matter how hard you try. If you notice that you have cellulite and cellulite creams simply aren’t cutting it, it may be time to look at your diet. Although diet can’t cure cellulite, it can definitely help you to cut down on the appearance of cellulite around your body. Read on to learn more about foods you should avoid in order to keep cellulite away.
Excess Sodium
Think twice before grabbing that salt shaker at dinner tonight. Salt can cause water retention in the body which can also cause your cellulite to look worse than it actually is. Although reducing your sodium intake won’t rid your body of cellulite, it can definitely help to reduce the appearance.
Sugar
Too much sugar isn’t good for anybodys health. Not only can an increased amount of sugar lead to diseases like diabetes, but it can also cause your cellulite to look larger than it actually is. By storing itself in the fat cells and causing them to expand, sugar can make your cellulite look that much bigger— something nobody wants to see.
Fat
Fat turns into fuel” said no-one ever. In fact, fat simply turns itself into more fat. If you eat a diet high in fat such as fast food burgers, fries, and onion rings, you might want to reconsider. No matter how “good” you think your metabolism is, these sorts of fatty foods can make your cellulite look that much worse and can even increase your body’s cellulite as well. The next time you go out for fast food, opt for a salad instead— your body will thank you later, especially around swimsuit season.
