It doesn't matter how thick or thin you are, most women are prone to deposits of
cellulite. These are gender specific (that's right for women only!) deposits of
dense fat that are caught in the network of fibers that make up the structure of
the body.

To understand this you have to picture your body as being
enclosed in a large network of tissue that looks like a fish net of
interconnecting tissue. How much this tissue can expand is non negotiable. Since
the connective tissue is not as elastic as the skin,it will only stretch so far
while being acted on by the force of expanding fat cells. When fat deposits
become trapped beneath this network, called the superficial fascia, the net is
stretched and its fatty contents bulge out in an unattractive way that is often
described as looking like cottage cheese, orange peel or gravel.

Why
don't these stubborn deposits of fat just melt away like regular fat? The law of
Mother Nature in this case is that the greater the area of fat concentration the
harder it is to get rid of. The minute your total body fat exceeds 25% in a
woman, you will develop cellulite.

Sometimes you can get rid of the fat
but not the gnarly connective tissue that was created to accommodate the extra
fat cells in the first place. Areas of the body that have a high ratio of fat to
muscle (for example the thighs, hips and buttock area in women) are particularly
hard to smooth out once they have become pocked with cellulite.

Getting
rid of cellulite is not as easy as exercising and limiting your caloric intake.
As many women know you can get extremely thin, almost skeletal and still have
lumps of cellulite showing In fact, if you lose too much weight the cellulite
bumps and dents can be even further highlighted.

Usually getting rid of
cellulite requires a complete lifestyle overhaul. This usually starts with some
kind of detoxifying or cleansing diet and then a permanent modification of your
exercise and eating habits. Circuit training that involves an hour of aerobic
exercise and weight training is thought to be the best cure for this common
problem. Drinking tons of water and eating fruits and vegetables that are water
dense may also help get rid of these stubborn deposits of fat.

If you do
have cellulite you might just have to live with it. There are no pills, miracle
creams or rubber garments that can correct cellulite. If the cellulite is going
to go away it is going to go away on its own. The problem is that it is not just
a matter of eliminating fat, it is a problem that involves the body's
interconnecting tissue. Disappointing as it is you might have to resign yourself
to the fact that there is no way of fixing connective tissue that has been
distorted or twisted by excess weight gain from the past.
