Cellulite Woes

Noticed a few days ago the cellulite on my thighs are HORRIBLE. I know they are always there for many years of my life, but this is the first time I realise how horrifying it looks like. HOW??

a website suggests apple cider vinegar

Oral Remedy
•Mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into an 8 ounce glass of water.
•Optionally add a small amount of honey as a sweetener.
•Drink this once each morning.
Topical Remedy
•Mix 3 parts apple cider vinegar with one part of your favorite massage oil.
•Gently knead this solution onto affected skin areas twice daily.
•This massage treatment will help to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Another website suggests not to eat high carbo together with high protein, drink a lot of water and eat less salt and caffeine (nnnooooo!!!).

"process called conscientious food combining - not eating concentrated proteins and carbohydrates at the same meals - is thought to help keep cellulite at bay"

This website suggests to eat grapefruit!
"Ken Fujioka, MD, of the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, California observed obese study participants, who were not dieting, add a half of one grapefruit before each meal for 12 weeks. Participants lost an average of 3.6 pounds even without any additional dieting effort (note that the study was sponsored by the Florida Department of Citrus).

What's even more compelling is the fact that grapefruits contain the enzyme bromelain, which is both anti-inflammatory and skin-cleansing. Bromelain is also shown to help cut cellulite quickly.

If you’re going to indulge, make sure you eat it separately from other food groups. All fruits should be eaten alone, without the presence of other food groups such as vegetables, fats, or proteins (with the exception of leafy greens). Wait at least 20 minutes after eating a grapefruit before eating other foods.

Combining fruit with other groups inhibits digestion, causing food to improperly break down. This leads to fermentation in the stomach, causing gas to be formed. This also implies fat storage: if our bodies have trouble breaking something down, it means it also has a hard time expelling it. A food “in limbo” is thus converted to fat and stored in the body."
