Reduce cellulite with diet
June 11, 2008
Cellulite is basically fat that is localized in one or more areas of the body. Some people have more of it than others (thanks to their genetics). Women often have more cellulite than men, partly because of the way the fat cells are lined in our bodies (there is nothing we can do about that ladies). Studies in fact show that women have more irregularly patterned and discontinuous connective patterns of tissue beneath the skin, resulting in a dimpled appearance.
