Cellulite is a word that most women don’t like to hear, and even less like to talk about. Even fitness fanatics and avid gym goers like my self can have trouble shaking off stubborn cellulite. It can be disheartening when you are training in pump classes at the gym and exercising, doing everything your supposed to to burn calories and stay slim but the unsightly rippling cellulite just won’t go away. The fact is some women just can’t shake cellulite no matter what they do.

In some cases the cause of cellulite is hereditary, it can also be caused by hormonal changes, over production of estrogen, poor circulation, poor diet, lack of exercise and poor hydration.

Connective tissue near the skin stretches, becoming weakened or inflexible causing cottage cheese like ripples.

The occurrence of cellulite happens in the fat layer just beneath the skin, cause by changes on a physical level. Changes can including aging, poor hydration, bad eating habits – too much processed food, saturated fats and sugars, an unhealthy or inactive lifestyle. The fat layers in women are shaped and organized differently to men, which explains why it occurs more often in women. In men the little fat chambers sit flat beneath the skin, in women they sit more upright, sometimes causing small dimple patterns in the skin.

I’ve nominated myself as the guinea pig to find out if any of these creams or other non surgical methods of getting rid of cellulite actually work. I was really skeptical because I haven’t seen any real proof that any of these products worked. There has been a lot of publicity about the anti cellulite creams and treatments that looked very promising. What better way to find out than to do my own test.

It causes fat cells do deflate like a balloon. Clinical trials have been conducted proving that it actually works. So I was interested to see if it lived up to these claims.

Here’s a news report about Cellulean.

After using this anti cellulite cream  for 4 weeks I was pleasantly surprised at the results. It’s a little embarrassing to admit that I had a problem, considering that I was already going to the gym 4 days a week. But any way, my skin had become much smoother and the cottage cheese pattern had all but gone. Of course I don’t owe this entirely to the cellulite cream, I was still working my butt off at the gym, the Cellulean seemed to shake off that stubborn cellulite that I couldn’t lose despite my best efforts.

Revitol is another well known and popular anti cellulite cream. On their website they claim that Revitol
