question about celulite?

[riptorn]

My Girlfriend finds that when she starts to diet etc,that dinking about 5ltrs of water daily and using various other detox tricks. that the cellulite almost disapears.

All girls put on a layer of fat on the lower body area during puberty. (Yeah, life sucks.) Genetics plays a big part in it; fat cells can be shrunk/depleted, but they do not go away. (See part above about life sucking.)

My problem is different; my thighs are strong tho not perfect. I have good arm definition for an amateur weightlifter. My calves, on the other hand, are enormous. They have always been larger than average (strong, yes, but large) even when I was young and very lean. I'm doing unweighted calf raises at high reps. And to think all the guys at the Y complain about their skinny calves ... too bad we can't trade!

I"m with ya there DF -- my dad's calves are almost literally as big as his quads & I inherited them, along w/ my mom's fat butt. (No offense mom). I can "calf press" all day and I think my max for calf press on the leg press was 8 plates per side. Regular leg press, uh, not nearly. Man, if i just would've gotten mom's calves & dad's butt.

heavy leg workouts, clean diet, and yohimburn pretty much eliminated my GFs cellulite. Which of those (or all) did the most I can't say. But somewhere in there something did the trick.

Yep, Yohimburn works. Used it with a basically ketotype diet and lost about half of what I had, and am working on the rest.

Lots of water and skin brushing helps, too.

I didn't have ANY - not a speck of cellulite - til I had kids. Damned estrogen! Though I am not any bigger than pre-kids, I got tons of it during my pregnancy - particularly my second. I was dumb then, and ate a lot of junk along with the "good stuff".

Fawn

Yeah, I would like to know how that stuff from Avon works b/c I have seen commercials and have thought about buying it, so once you get the scoop on how well it works then please let us know. THANKS!!!
