I've been trying to gain weight lately, because I was too skinny (I have a fast metabolism, and it was getting unhealthy). So, I upped my calories and started doing more weight type workouts instead of running. It's working, and I've gotten to a healthy weight. I'm actually happy to say that alot of that weight has gone to my butt :) lol. But, now I'm getting some cellulite around there. Everything online recommends cutting calories and generally trying to lose weight to get cellulite to go away. But, I don't want to lose the weight I tried so hard to gain! I'm 5'5 and about 115-120 lbs, and I eat very healthy!

ReplyDeleteYou don't have a fast metabolism. That's a myth. You're lean because that's your genetic soma type. Unfortunately, cellulite is not something you can get rid of. Here's the story.
ReplyDeleteHere's the sad truth about cellulite. Cellulite is not fat, it's a genetic-based condition involving an uneven distribution of adipose and collagen tissues and once you have it, you will probably have it for life. However, because cellulite involves fat, you may be able to reduce the prominence of it by burning fat. Unfortunately, cellulite seems to present in those areas where fat tends to leave last...buttocks and thighs. So, reducing the cellulite effect will, for most people, require burning excess fat to a very low body fat percent....something which usually means a serious lifestyle change and commitment to proper eating habits for life with no guarantees.
Exercise won't help beyond burning a few more calories so plan your workouts around fitness goals such as excellence in a sport or occupation, strength, endurance, flexibility, systemic fitness, general health and well being, body sculpting, body composition, etc. Don't exercise with the hope it will help make cellulite disappear because it won't.
Here's an excerpt from an article from the US National Institute of Health, the people your doctor listens to.
"A great deal of money is spent by people who want to rid themselves of cellulite, but no amount of weight loss, exercise, massages, wraps, creams, supplements, or surgery has proven to effectively eliminate it once you have it. Liposuction, for instance, is not recommended for cellulite, and may even make it look worse."
