Greetings, dear beauties. If you remember, I am actively struggling with excess weight. And I can boast about my result. I gathered my will into a fist, sewed up my mouth and switched to proper nutrition. In one month I was able to lose 12 kg. In principle, the figure suits me now. If it weren't for cellulite. It is on the legs, butt, and buttocks.
I’ve lost weight, but I can’t wear a short, tight dress. I urgently need a diet for cellulite. I can't look at this loose skin anymore.
General principles of a diet for cellulite on the legs and butt
Anti-cellulite nutrition involves introducing into the diet:
- fermented milk products (1–5% fat): kefir, homemade yogurt, cottage cheese;
- cereals containing fiber: buckwheat, rice, oatmeal;
- vegetables (raw, steamed);
- berries and fruits, except grapes;
- vegetable, fish soups;
- boiled chicken liver;
- legumes;
- greens: spinach, lettuce, parsley, dill;
- bran;
- cold-pressed vegetable oils: pumpkin, flaxseed, olive, sunflower.
Important!
Proper functioning of the body is possible only with a balanced diet with the required amount of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. None of these components can be excluded during an anti-cellulite diet.
Diet principles:
- Simple food made from natural products. Such food is well digestible and does not cause fermentation.
- Fractional meals. To speed up metabolism and normalize weight, we eat often, but in small portions.
- Foods that speed up metabolism.
- Liquid. Drink 2 liters of clean water. Metabolic processes will accelerate by 30%, constipation will be eliminated, and joint function will improve.
- Cooking food. We steam, boil, and bake the products in the oven. We monitor the compatibility of products.
Important:
- We consume no more than 40 g of fat per day;
- we use vegetable oils;
- We eat cereals and cereals before 13-00, and proteins and vegetable fiber in the afternoon.
The effect of taking vitamins, sports supplements, etc. on the elimination of cellulite
You can reduce the appearance of cellulite both with and without the use of additional vitamins, sports supplements and other dietary supplements. The fact is that when the body lacks certain elements, the metabolism slows down. If you are sure that you are getting everything you need from food, then you do not need to take additional medications. But in the case when a person eats few fruits, vegetables and protein, sports supplements and vitamins will come to the rescue.
When choosing protein, give preference to well-known brands, for example “ON”
Vitamin C, zinc, collagen, omega-3 fatty acids and protein play a special role in eliminating cellulite. You can buy protein at a sports store if your diet is low in meat and dairy products. It makes sense to pay attention to omega-3 fatty acids in capsules, soluble vitamin C, zinc tablets and preparations containing collagen.
Products that help get rid of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs
There are a number of products, the use of which will help reduce the appearance of “orange peel” on the butt and thighs:
- Bananas. Saturate tissues with fluid. Does not retain excess water.
- Sunflower seeds. Protect connective tissue from the formation of cellulite formations.
- Ginger, hot pepper. Suppresses the feeling of hunger.
- Greenery. Rich in vitamins and low in calories.
- Cabbage. Contains fiber, which removes radicals and toxic substances.
- Avocado. Contains glutamine, which helps the liver deal with toxins.
- Kelp. Eliminates swelling.
- Lean meat. Stimulates the body's production of elastin and collagen.
- Green tea. Speeds up metabolic processes.
- Nuts. They help get rid of cellulite deposits and support the vital activity of cells.
- Citrus. Makes the skin smooth and elastic.
Pharmacological effect
The drug has antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects for external use.
- Clioquinol (iodochlorooxyquinoline) is active against dermatophytes, yeasts and gram-positive bacteria. Strengthens the antiexudative effect of flumethasone.
- Flumethasone has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antipruritic, decongestant and vasoconstrictor effects. Reduces inflammatory exudate and the production of lymphokines, inhibits the migration of macrophages, reduces infiltration and granulation. Reduces the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The drug causes a reduction in the basic substance of connective tissue, weakens proliferative and exudative reactions in the skin.
The active components interact to suppress the development of inflammatory and allergic reactions on the part of the skin, complicated by bacterial and fungal infections. The fatty base has a softening effect, creates a waterproof protective film on the surface of the skin, so the drug can be used in patients with dry and thin skin.
Harmful foods that cause cellulite
While following a diet, we exclude foods that provoke the appearance of “orange peel”:
- chips, crackers, lemonades;
- fast food;
- sausages, smoked meats, store-bought minced meats;
- fats of animal origin (confectionery fats, lard, lard);
- fatty fish and meat;
- margarine, cakes, buns containing transgenic fat;
- white bread, baked goods;
- canned food, homemade and purchased;
- energetic drinks;
- instant coffee;
- waffles, candy bars, chewing gum, candies;
- sauces, dressings, mayonnaise;
- store-bought yoghurts, ice cream.
Important!
We drink only natural coffee and no more than 2 cups a day. We also limit the amount of black tea. It is recommended to exclude alcohol and cigarettes or reduce them to a minimum.
Features during pregnancy
Cellulite often appears during pregnancy, but in order to get rid of it and not harm the baby, expectant mothers should take into account a number of features:
- Often, cellulite is accompanied by swelling - it is a consequence of a violation of water-salt metabolism and interferes with the implementation of anti-cellulite measures. To get rid of it, you should supplement your diet with dried fruits, herbs and legumes;
- you cannot adhere to a too strict diet - nutrients must enter the body in full;
- healthy fats help keep the skin elastic, which is important for cellulite;
- fresh fruits, berries and vegetables contain many vitamins, the proportion of which in the diet also needs to be increased;
- drink at least 2 liters of water daily.
Proper nutrition is the basis of anti-cellulite measures; without a proper diet, cosmetic procedures may be useless. In addition, nutrition will gradually remove cellulite without resorting to lipolytics and surgical intervention.
How to prepare for a diet?
Proper preparation is the key to a successful diet without harm to the body:
- Coping with the feeling of hunger. Cross out diets that offer fasting.
- Hearty breakfast, lunch, dinner. But don't overeat until your stomach hurts. The optimal serving size is 300 g.
- Two snacks: fruits, dried fruits, nuts or kefir.
- Fluid intake: 20 minutes before or 40 minutes after the main meal.
- Eating on a schedule. Keep a food diary and plan your day.
- After 18-00, be sure to eat the foods from point 3.
- We cook with a minimum of salt, spices, herbs. They whet your appetite.
- 1 day a week – fasting. Eat 2 kg of fruits or vegetables, a liter of kefir or 500 g of meat and fish. Choose 1 product.
Important!
Eating foods containing fiber helps you feel full. Fiber increases in volume and fills the stomach.
Reviews
We have selected some reviews from people who have used Lorinden S ointment:
- Anna. Everything turned out quite banal for me: an allergy “came out” to washing powder (I decided to try a new one, on my head, or rather, my hands)), unbearable itching, red spots, peeling. I immediately contacted a dermatologist because I try to take care of my health and not lead to complications. after all, the sooner you take measures to eliminate the problem, the faster and easier the recovery will come. They prescribed me antihistamines, vitamins, and Lorinden S. The treatment took a little more than a week, the skin was perfectly cleansed, Lorinden not only pleasantly cooled the skin, it also “removed” the itching quite quickly, the flaking spots subsequently also disappeared . I hope that this won’t happen to me again) although I recovered quite quickly, it’s better not to get sick at all).
- Elizabeth. I never thought about how sensitive my skin is. Especially on the arms and stomach. As a child, I had a problem with allergic rashes from tomatoes. Then they treated me with iodine, and it was not pleasant. Now I treat any irritation or acne with Lorinden S. I like that it does not have an overly greasy texture or disgusting aroma. On the contrary, the smell is almost neutral, there is no color, which allows you to smear it on your face/lips. I treat blisters from allergens on the chest/neck/stomach, pimples on the hands from nerves and even initial herpes on the lips with Lorinden S ointment and recommend it to everyone with sensitive skin!

Eliminating cellulite is a complex of measures consisting of diet, sports and cosmetic procedures.
A healthy diet during anti-cellulite massage is an integral part of the measures taken to improve the condition of sagging skin and get rid of excess fat.
Massage is an effective procedure in the fight against “orange peel”, but it is only effective if you follow proper nutrition. To enhance the effect of massage, you need to include foods that help burn fat in your diet. Such products include grapefruit, lemon, herbs, ginger, and avocado. During the period of anti-cellulite massage, the need for protein increases, so the diet should contain it in sufficient quantities (pike perch, cod, eggs, cottage cheese, chicken).
It is not recommended to eat food an hour before the procedure. After a massage session, the result lasts for some time, so you should refrain from eating for another hour.

Is there a connection between the appearance of cellulite and nutrition: what causes it?
The cause of cellulite is not always excess weight. In some cases, the development of the disease is accompanied by an unbalanced diet, frequent consumption of processed foods, fast food, and baked goods. A sedentary lifestyle, combined with bad habits, slows down metabolic processes in the body and leads to the formation of cellulite on the stomach and buttocks.
Diet for cellulite should be balanced and contain a sufficient amount of fiber.
To combat cellulite, you must follow a drinking regime and take additional measures.

The role of vitamins in the fight against cellulite
It is advisable to supplement the anti-cellulite diet with vitamin complexes. Proper nutrition in combination with the complex allows you not to supplement your diet with expensive dietary supplements. In addition to the vitamins listed in the table, it would be useful to increase the content of microelements - calcium and potassium.
| Vitamin | Anti-cellulite effect | Where is it contained? |
| A (retinol) | Increases skin firmness and elasticity | Liver, carrots, spinach, pumpkin seeds, eggs |
| Group B | Negatively affects the composition of tissues - it is a supplier of nutrition to cells | Cereals, potatoes, bran, meat, eggs |
| PP (nicotinic acid) | Speeds up metabolism, smoothes crust | Tuna, swordfish, lean beef and chicken |
| C (ascorbic acid) | Allows you to maintain youthful skin longer, as it synthesizes collagen | Citrus fruits, rose hips, bell peppers, black currants, broccoli |
| E (tocopherol) | Breaks down fat, removes varnish and toxins | Legumes, almonds, sea buckthorn, walnuts, Brussels sprouts. |
Basic diet and sample menu
To remove the unpleasant orange peel from your thighs and at the same time lose weight, the basis of your diet should be porridge. This is a nutritious, light and healthy dish. Almost any type of porridge is suitable for the diet, as long as it is prepared in water. Boiled meat and fish are also a great way to saturate the body without causing the development of cellulite.
We must not forget about the importance of greens and vegetables, which can be eaten either on their own or added to a variety of casseroles or stews. Finally, your diet should include fruits like bananas and avocados. Dried fruits will replace the usual sweets.
Stages of the disease
Most often, cellulite is found on the thighs and buttocks. Some do not consider this phenomenon a disease, but it has four stages, which indicates a clear pathological process:
- in the first stage, the skin becomes less elastic; if you crush it with your fingers, it does not straighten out immediately, which indicates swelling of the subcutaneous tissue;
- on the second, subcutaneous changes become noticeable to the eye, slight bumps and depressions are present, the skin is uneven, the pores are slightly enlarged;
- on the third, the skin becomes flabby, ugly in appearance, all the bumps and depressions on it are clearly visible;
- on the fourth, the defects intensify, spots and bumps cover your thighs and buttocks, the pores are enlarged, the skin is cold to the touch, and nerve conduction is disrupted.
The latter option is rare, and in this case it is better to trust your doctor. Self-medication, the use of starvation or low-calorie diets will only do harm here.
What's the problem?
Normally, a person of any gender has a certain amount of fat cells under the skin, in the so-called hypodermis. This is not only a reserve, but also shock absorption and protection against temperature changes. In women, the subcutaneous fat layer is better developed, because they need protection more than men. Especially during pregnancy.
No one argues that the fat layer should not turn into lard and grow in exorbitant quantities. But our fat does not always provoke cellulite, or is a sign of this phenomenon.
Cellulite is degenerative structural changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue caused by deterioration of blood supply and lymph outflow. It affects the connective tissue that surrounds the fat cells, because of this they begin to accumulate unevenly, forming knots and irregularities.
Against the background of excess fat, the defect will be more visible, but this does not mean that by losing weight through a diet, you will be able to get rid of cellulite.
Reviews of anti-cellulite diets most often say that poor nutrition helps little or does not help at all. Doctors say: you need physical exercise and massage. And they are absolutely right. Gymnastics and stretching will help restore normal lymphatic drainage and blood circulation.
