STEP 1: Discover habits that promote cellulite and fat accumulation.

The first thing is to put on the table all those things we do wrong. Without realizing it, we can perform certain unhealthy habits on a daily basis, which favor the appearance of cellulite. Poor hydration, lack of exercise and poor diet favor the appearance of "orange peel skin".

The idea is to be aware of which habits we should avoid, so that we do not do them on a regular basis.

1.1. Foods that favor the appearance of cellulite

There are certain foods that have a negative impact on our figure and our health, which is the most important thing. Ready meals, salty snacks, deli meats and refined sugars, pastries, fried foods.... favor this unsightly problem, if they are part of our regular diet.

Fried foods

Its power to accumulate fat is such that it is one of the main reasons that cause orange peel skin. The thighs and buttocks are the most affected.

Foods to avoid if you want to get rid of cellulite at home

Alcohol

Far from hydrating, alcoholic beverages cause constriction of the blood vessels, aggravating the cellulite problem. If you feel like having a beer or a glass of wine from time to time, that's fine, but avoid drinking it with every meal, substituting water instead.

Sugar

Refined sugar accumulates in certain parts of the body and turns into fat. If you drink coffee, try to get used to not drinking it with sugar, avoid soft drinks with high sugar content and pastries.

Industrial pastries

This type of confectionery contains saturated fats and sugar, a bomb for your body. Ice creams with cream and sugar are also a calorie bomb, try not to abuse in summer.

Snacks

Avoid salty snacks, chips with fizzy drinks, for example. This snack is a fried food with a high salt content, and a soft drink has so much sugar that the liver is not able to process it and transforms it into fat and cholesterol.
