Like everyone else who has posted, I have had cellulite for years too. I’ve always been very athletic and am currently training for a marathon. I disagree with the doctor’s assertion that all women have cellulite. I have seen women out there with no visible cellulite on their legs. (Ok, well maybe it’s on their butts. I wouldn’t know! Anyway, maybe we shouldn’t obsess so much but society (and photoshopping) make it difficult. But Mel-a top marathoner! That is impressive. I felt sad, though, when I read that you’re embarassed by your “ugly legs.” I wish it was easier to embrace and celebrate our strengths, and minimize our “flaws.” Anyway, that’s my 2 cents. Thanks to the Doc for his great words, and this helpful site!!

There has to be something available to curb this horrible condition! Please can anyone help me?

I appreciate this blog post because I constantly beat myself up over the cellulite on my legs. I am an elite marathon runner, I’m the top 10% of all female marathoners. I am 35 years old and run at least 60 miles a week and spend another three days in the gym with weight training. I eat very well, even though I could probably afford to splurge a bit…and guess what, yes, I have cellulite. My body fat is about 15%, which is normal for an athlete. My legs are thin, but yet, I still have this. My mother has horrible cellulite, way worse than the average person, so I’m quite convinced that this is poor genetics which I inherited. I’ve tried everything, however, I’m finally coming to terms with the fact. I would happy to find a good cream which reduces the appearance temporarily so at least I can run in shorts and not worry about my ugly legs.

Do certain foods worsen cellulite? For example, I have hard that foods that are high on fat increase cellulite.

I have suffered from cellulite for a really long time now and if I have discovered one fact it’s that diet and exercise is the the only proven way to decrease it.

I think that the best cure for cellulite is to exercise. It burns off extra fat and weight and tones your legs leving themf irmer. I know this from personal experience. These are good tips too though

[...] Cellulite is a normal secondary sex characteristic of women. It is the result of thin connective tissue in women’s skin. Massaging the cellulite (with coffee, tea, grapes, cream cheese, or chocolate frosting) pushes the fat back into the skin, temporarly improving the appearance. There is no science behind using coffee to treat this normal condition. [...]

A few years ago I did the Fat Flush Diet (by Ann Louise Gittelman, PhD). No wheat products, no dairy. A focus on lean proteins, lots of vegetables, flaxseed oil, plus I also had a wee bit of oat bran cereal, a slice of sprouted grain toast and protein shakes made with whey protein and frozen berries. I trained with weights 6 days a week, and did cardio. I jumped on a mini-tramp 5 to 10 minutes a day. After 8 weeks, every last little dimple evaporated from my derriere. (My body fat was pretty low.) I can tell you, if you do the right things, you CAN get rid of cellulite. And, I was 47 at the time!
