IN my opinion the best things for cellulite are dry skin brushing and regular saunas if you can manage it. If you can't manage the sauna, tak a very hot bath twice a week with epsom salts after dry skin brushing. Combine these with a healthy diet that works for you and it's a winner. Super cheap too. A body brush only costs around $10-20. I have a portable infrared sauna I bought on Ebay for around $300AU and use it twice a week. I found that my skin which was already smooth from dry skin brushing became even softer and smoother, like satin. However even without the sauna or epsom salts baths, dry skin brushing alone will really help clean out the lymph system.
If you have really bad cellulite you could also take herbal teas that support the lymph system such as yellow dock and burdock, and investigate reflexology to stimulate the lymph system. Reflexology can be done on the hands as well as the feet which means you can sneak in a treatment any time you have a spare couple of minutes.
Also unsweetened cranberry juice is hard to find in Australia which makes the gittleman plan difficult for us to follow.
Sugar cravings - Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar which will help with cravings. A quarter teaspoon taken once or twice daily will do it. The mineral chromium is known to help reduce sugar cravings. The richest food source of chromium is brewers yeast. Many people swear on eating a small amount of protein with each meal to regulate blood sugar and get rid of cravings. Almonds are an excellent source of vegetarian protein and make a great snack. Their fat content keeps you full for ages also. Sometimes people dieting and avoiding fat will get sugar cravings. |
