Causes of CelluliteThe main causes of cellulite are a great debate ... research has not been conclusive and there are many different theories about cellulite, what causes it and how to treat it.
Cellulite has got to be one of the most frustrating problems facing women today. Cellulite is that unsightly orange-peel fat that attacks not only over-weight women, but slim women as well. Some men also have problems with cellulite, but overall it seems to be a woman’s problem. What exactly is cellulite? Research doesn’t seem to be conclusive, but the general consensus seems to be that cellulite is a form of fat that traps fluid and possibly toxins within the fat cell. Combine this with inflexible connective tissue called septae (which connect the skin to underlying layers of tissue), and the result is the "orange-peel" look that we have come to think of cellulite as. (A simple explanation is to compare it to a quilt or mattress where thread or string pulling down on the material cause "tufts". When the connective tissue called septae connects the skin to underlying layers of tissue, fat pushes up in between the connective tissue causing the "tuft" or bumpy "orange-peel" look.) On-going research still hasn’t found a cure for cellulite, despite the plethora of cellulite creams, pills and potions on the market all claiming to be the magic formula to eradicate cellulite.
Do you know what your percentage of body fat is? Obviously, reducing fat stores is going to have a positive effect on cellulite. The problem is that, even if we are following a diet, it is hard to know whether the weight loss is fat loss or muscle and water. Using a body fat analyzer like the Tanita Body Fat Scale is the only way to be sure that we are really losing fat (and therefore cellulite) and not just muscle and water. The Tanita Scale successfully monitors both your body fat and your overall weight and is ideal for tracking your weight loss and fat loss and making sure you are on track with your personal fitness goals. The Tanita Body Fat Scale is particularly ideal for personal use because of its ease of use, inexpensiveness, high accuracy rate and the fact that it can be used in the privacy of your own home without the need of very expensive, specialized equipment and experienced technicians.

"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing all of your thorough research on what I believe to be my very own physiological dysfunction. My overweight girl friend keeps trying to convince me that we both have a mental problem with food addiction...I know I'm not crazy, and I don't think she is either." ME, United States
"Thank you. I was able to download the books and was so impressed. I became very ill several months ago and have had the drs find all the problems discussed in your books one at a time. I don't feel like a freak now and know that all these problems combined seem to be a syndrome that can be lived with or cured. I was just about to give up and found you by entering the 3 major disorders they had diagnosed me with into a search engine and the link to your site came up. Thank you and God bless." LM, United States
"From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for saving my life. I mean that literally -- I have been been following dr. atkins diet for 25 years and in the past year I thought that I was losing my mind. ... Some one convinced me that the high protein diet might be causing the problem. Through some research, I found you - AND I downloaded your books! Within 3 weeks I am sleeping through the night (2 years without sleep) and my hot flashes are totally gone. I am waking up in the morning and I want to live again!! My friends and fiance cannot believe the change in me. With everything that is in me, I thank you folks SOOOOOOO much. MY brain was lacking so much serotonin!!" DH, Canada
