If You Lose Weight Will You Lose that Ugly Cellulite?

Finally, we have a professional answer to the question of whether he can get rid of cellulite if you lose weight in the area where cellulite has appeared. And like all honest official answers, the answer was sometimes. If you are part of the 15 percent of women who have no experience with cellulite, then you are indeed blessed. For many of us, especially those who are veterans of the wars in weight, however, we know intimately. If you look in the mirror of all, no missing fat deposits under the skin that resemble orange peel, usually in the hips, buttocks and thighs. It is more common in those of us of the female persuasion. This occurs because there is fiber lines as collagen tissue that connects skin to underlying tissue and create compartments for our fat cells. When fat cells enlarge, excel compartments and the effect of dimples. The more fat in fat cells, bulkier and you can guess the rest. But it also seems to be a genetic component that helps determine if a person goes to show cellulite or not. Some women have thinner cellulite marked in certain areas and some women who are medically classified as morbidly obese do not show any at all. People who have a thicker skin seem to have less of it, too. Moreover, other hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy and aging can lead to a weakening of the collagen fibers and thinning of the skin, which can lead to more cellulite. There is no clearly defined adverse health effects of cellulite, other than cosmetic, so the magazine of the American Medical Association (JAMA) indicates that there is no medical condition known or described as cellulite in this country for almost 20 years. So there is no cure for this unpleasant phenomenon, but it certainly seems to have a lot of products and processes in the market with the stated aim of combating it. Despite all these considerations, the conventional wisdom is that weight gain is directly associated with the appearance of cellulite in our bodies. If that is true, then the loss of weight should help get rid of it. In the August 2006 edition of the Journal of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Sam Speron, of Chicago, describes a study of 29 women who were enrolled in programs of medical supervision loss of weight. Programs vary from low fat meals to the liquid diet for prescription drugs to surgery. The average weight loss in these patients was 30. 5 pounds, but ranged between 2. 3 to 102 pounds. At the end of the study, seventeen of these patients had an improved appearance of cellulite in the affected areas, but nine actually seemed worse. Cellulite is not completely gone in one. The dimples becomes smaller in patients looked better. So what made the difference? According to Dr. Speron, patients who have lost large amounts of weight, especially fat in the thigh area, had greater improvement in their cellulite. These are also the patients who had the highest rate of departure of body mass index (BMI, a measure of weight for height) and the worst of cellulite, for starters. The cellulitis worsened as he began to lower BMI, lost less weight, and not to reduce its percentage of fat in the thighs. Another important factor was related to the appearance of skin elasticity. If not tighten skin after weight loss, cellulite looked worse. So what is a body to do? It seems that the key is to reduce the percentage of fat in the thighs or where cellulite is emerging. Does anyone have any idea how to do that? It seems that all the experts say there is no way to get rid of subcutaneous fat in one area. You can build the underlying muscles by doing exercises that emphasize the use of those muscles, but that does not reduce the fat in them unless they lose fat everywhere. So it's time to return to sound diet and exercise routine each day. What price health and beauty?
