Its no wonder so many women and young girls are to be seen on the beaches today wearing shorts and biking tops instead of a full bikini and the reason is simple; they haven't discovered how to lose weight and cellulite and so they prefer to cover it up. Cellulite is no one's friend and that ghastly and unsightly dimpling of the thighs is embarrassing to say the least!

Cellulite is basically fat that is sticking out into the dermis from lower layers in the skin. It gives that dimpled look, sometimes known as a cottage cheese or orange peel appearance to the skin. Nearly all women have some amount of cellulite on their bodies. It is more common in white females, and it also seems to have some type of hormonal factor about it, because men rarely become afflicted with it. It can sometimes be reduced by weight loss, but not eliminated. As you would expect, there are many so-called remedies on the market that claim you can lose fat and cellulite or eliminate it altogether. Lotions, gels, and even pills are sold by cosmetic companies to consumers every year and much has been written about cellulite and its causes and many treatments have been promoted.

A low fat diet:

Eating in a healthy manner in an effort to lose weight and cellulite is always a good idea and a low-fat diet is usually recommended as part of a weight maintenance lifestyle; however the notion that you can smooth out dimples by eating less fat makes as little sense when it comes to cellulite as it does when it comes to flabby thighs.

Dietary supplements:

Several of these products have been marketed and contain a variety of ingredients such as ginkgo biloba, sweet clover, grape seed bioflavinoids, oil of evening primrose, fish oil, and soy lecithin. These preparations claim to have positive effects on the body such as boosting metabolism, improving circulation, protecting against cell damage, and breaking down fats.

There is still time to try and do something to those orange peel thighs to prevent a thunderous approach to the waves and at Shapelife, using the latest in advances in skin care technology, their Herbalife specialists have discovered a new way to lose weight and cellulite and to reduce the appearance of orange peel skin.
