6 Reasons You Have Cellulite True or false...Cellulite accumulates from being overweight? False! Yes, body fat is a contributing factor, but its just not that simple (as you’ll discover below) But first... what exactly IS cellulite anyway? Simply put: cellulite is fat directly beneath your skin. Think of each cell as a honeycomb. But instead of being filled with honey, its filled with fat. The more excess fat that accumulates into these cells, the more it pushes up against your skin creating that “cottage-cheese” look. The reason why the fat looks lumpy and “dimply” is because excess estrogen tends to break down collagen, which weakens the skin. What are Probable Causes for cellulite? 1: Stress hormones like cortisol 2: Metabolic changes (dieting, starving then binging) 3: Poor circulation 4: Lymphatic system not draining well 5: Eating too much processed salt 6: Breakdown of collagen in the skin Cellulite actually shows up in 85 to 95 % of females after puberty. Now you can see why. And, yes, men get it too! No wonder the cellulite removal business is a $1.4 billion dollar industry!
