Women, have you noticed that your cellulite (if you have/had it) improved or got worse on a raw food diet. Thanks = )

1)worse
2)improved
3)gone

Regardless of the answer, please tell me what you ate that you believe contributed to your outcome.

YES GONE!

I'm 5'2" and 120lbs so not skinny but nevertheless I never had thigh cellulite - EXCEPT when I tried the Atkins diet a few years ago - I lost weight but when I looked in a dressing room 3-way mirror I noticed, to my horror, that I had horrible horrible thick tree-trunk legs cellulite. It was gross.

Then on my regular diet (not so much meat) - my cellulite went back to normal - i.e. only on my butt, not thighs.

THEN to my shock and amazement - I thought it was just the lighting so I've checked several mirrors - on the raw food diet I now have NO cellulite. The butt cellulite I thought I could never get rid of is GONE. Yey!

So my conclusion is that amount of cellulite we have is probably directly proportional to the amount of toxins in our diet.

Ironically, Sunshine, I never had cellulite until I started the Adkins diet too. I think it was too much protein, because I was eating protein like crazy!

It improved and then went away. It became less prominent and gradually turned into normal healthy looking skin. When I relapsed into old habits it returned and when I resumed healthy eating the process repeated itself.

Wishing you vibrant health

i developed cellulite in my early 20's - it wasn't bad but it was certainly there - and now in my late 20's (after 3 years of high raw even with occasional days of unhealthy foods) it is almost nonexistent.

Eating raw and heavy-duty uphill hiking has helped a tremendous amount.
