They are all over: the special creams, diets, and exercises that are meant to target the nastiest of all nasty fats cellulite. Well, whatever they are selling, don’t buy it, because cellulite is actually a myth.
In the end, it’s no different than any other fat cell, and it doesn’t require any special treatments to get rid of it. When fat cells immediately beneath the skin enlarge, sometimes the strands of fibrous tissue that connect these fat cells don’t stretch.
This gives ordinary fat a lumpy appearance on the hips, thighs, and buttocks, which has been given the mythical name cellulite by gimmick diet promoters.
In a recent study conducted at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, fat biopsies were taken from people with lumpy fatty tissues (the mythical cellulite) and from people with regular fat deposits. The result: all of the biopsy specimens were identified under the microscope as ordinary fat cells.
There was no tissue identified as cellulite!
So don’t be fooled by the cellulite myth and buy any special cellulite treatments. And don’t be discouraged if you notice that the fat on your hips, thighs or buttocks has a lumpier appearance than elsewhere.
The truth is that cellulite is ordinary fat that you can fight through ordinary means. A low fat diet combined with a regular aerobic walking program will melt away fat wherever it is located on your body.
