Get ride of Cellulite

Lifting and getting to a lower bf% has helped mine. It is not as noticeable, but some is still there and it really bothers me. In my case it is genetic and I don't think it will ever completely disappear.

Niner is right. The cellulite will never ever be "gone". The appearance of it can be minimized by reducing body fat. The lower your body fat, the less likely it will be apparent because the fat cells aren't being puckered against the overlying skin. It's not the cells themselves that's the problem, it's the connective tissues between the cell walls of the fat cells. That is why you can't get rid of it. It is a genetic thing. Reducing your body fat and increasing your lean muscle mass in the area will reduce the visibility of it. Increasing muscle mass will cause the overlying skin to pull tighter to the body and reducing body fat will lessen the expansion of the fat cell upward against the skin.

I heard a supplement Gotu Kola is suppose to help. I just started taking it. Not sure yet.

Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) has been used to treat many conditions for thousands of years in India, China, and Indonesia. It was used to heal wounds, improve mental clarity, and treat skin conditions such as leprosy and psoriasis.

Some people use it to treat respiratory infections, such as colds, and in the past it was used for that in China. It has been called "the fountain of life" because legend has it that an ancient Chinese herbalist lived for more than 200 years as a result of taking gotu kola.

Historically, gotu kola has also been used to treat syphilis, hepatitis, stomach ulcers, mental fatigue, epilepsy, diarrhea, fever, and asthma. Today, in the U.S. and Europe gotu kola is most often used to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where blood pools in the legs. It is also used in ointments to treat psoriasis and help heal minor wounds.

In other words, Gotu Kola is not for burning fat. In fact, I wouldn't take it OTC unless it was doctor recommended because of the issues it's supposed to cure. No issue = No taking it.

Back to the OP, as other's have said, genetics. That thing we have no control over. Follow the other advise of strength for helping the appearance as best as you can otherwise!
