ATTACK OF THE CELLULITE!!!

I have heard dry brushing your skin before a shower helps. i've also hear coconut oil is supossed to help. I just started doing these so I have no idea if they work with cellulite but I will say in the 2 weeks that i've been doing it my skin is super soft!!

Eating the Coconut Oil or rubbing it on you?

i know people that eat a tablespoon of it a day. I just rub it on my skin and don't currently eat it...I notice that my skin is soft and has a healthy glow now.

Bump. I have responded to cellulite posts before. Yes, you CAN get rid of it. I am going to find my previous post and post it here.

Hi, this is a long response, but I have responded to cellulite posts before, so here they are.
This was my first response to “Ugh…cellulite”:

You can get rid of it, I should know, I have done it! I used to have it. Then I trained hard in college (crew--rowing team) and it was GONE. Couldn't believe it, cause I thought it was forever.
Then after children it was back. I fasted (water only) for 9 days, it was GONE. I noticed during the fast, after about a week, all the areas of fat got kinda tender and warm...my body was going after it to metabolize it, I guess.

Now after 2 more children ( I have 5). It is back, but I am not worried.

Currently, I am going for massage to circulate that hardened, dry fat that gets stuck in there. My massage therapist knows what she is doing. For my case, my lymph system had gotten clogged, also my digestive track had tended toward constipation...Also I would tend to be constantly dehydrated....naughty eating habits...not exercising and wah lah...cellulite.
Also, of course, I am currently diet/exercise intensive. But that cellulite gets sort of encapsulated in there, and it takes your body metabolizing it to get it off...It does come off!!! I don't really care what anyone else says...It will go! So right now, I am building up to being able to get a good hard workout (just cause I love fitness and the burn of a good exercise session and being able to play hard!), plus changing to awesome diet habits, plus drinking adequate water, plus massage (ahhhh!). Later I may choose to do a water fast.
I hope this gives you some encouragement and some useful information!

And my second response:

In working with my massage therapist, what we have been doing, on me, is to open my lymph drainage areas (for example,at the knees, groin, under the breasts, at the armpits---basically where you sweat) and then to massage the clogged cellulite areas to bring circulation, to help break up those deposits, and to encourage it to move on out. I love how it feels for days afterwards--I feel the circulation to those cellulite areas. We have done it using two methods. We pick one or the other per session...one is "gentle" in that it encorporates light rapid stroking in the direction of the circulation, light pressing on the lymph drain points to begin to open them. The other method she and I "affectionately" call "Tough Love" and that one also involves pressing gently on the sweat areas (lymph drain points) to encourage those points to begin to open up, but also when she massages the congested cellulite areas she is more aggressive and it...well...hurts. It hurts for a minute or two while initially it begins to break up. Subsequent massages there is often a more "itchy" feeling in areas where the clogging is being cleared up. Now those clogged areas are circulated better and can be metabolized out by the body. Currently my cellulite areas feel much more soft instead of bumpy. I know from experience that the next step is that the weight loss thru proper nutritioni/fitness will trim my body very nicely. And I will be happy with what I see! My massage therapist says lymph massage therapists are maybe not as common?

As far as fasting goes, I know that this brings many pictures to peoples minds, and much mis-information as well. One way to begin to understand the concept is to read the research and practical application of fasting by someone who applies scientific technique to see if /how something works. May I suggest the writings of Herbert Shelton. You can google him. A personal note on fasting from me is that I have done it many times, and love using fasting periodically for its many, many benefits. As far as gaining back the weight, you definitely would, if you failed to use self-control for the first week-2weeks after coming off an extended fast (longer than 3 days).
