Detox, fat-burning, antioxidant-rich… Some of the foods that find their way onto our holiday tables are particularly effective at helping us get rid of orange peel skin. To help you make the right choices, here’s a look at the top 9 anti-cellulite foods to enjoy during your holiday meals!
Of course, these foods won’t work miracles on their own — they need to be paired with at least some physical activity and your pinch-and-roll massage sessions… That said, they make perfect complements to help prevent fat storage and the appearance of cellulite. So don’t hesitate for a second to put them on your plate!
Sommaire
Lemon — one of the best anti-cellulite foods
Lemon is one of the best fat-burning foods thanks to its detoxifying action. It also helps boost metabolism and supports digestion: it helps the stomach break down fats, which prevents fat storage and the appearance of cellulite! Try adding a few drops of lemon to your holiday dishes: fish, seafood, vegetables… Lemon is also a great way to cut back on salt, one of the worst culprits for cellulite. To help your body eliminate fats over the holidays, you can also start each morning with a glass of warm water and the juice of one lemon, right after waking up.
Coffee
The caffeine it contains helps stimulate fat burning in the body and prevents the build-up of fatty deposits responsible for orange peel skin. It also helps keep you well hydrated, which is essential for fighting cellulite. You can enjoy a cup at breakfast and another one after lunch.
Apple
To take care of your figure and reduce cellulite during the holidays, fruit is your best friend! Apples in particular help burn fat and are rich in fibre and vitamin C. They also make an excellent appetite suppressant to curb snacking, which leads to fat storage. The pectin found in apples has the power to trap fats directly in the stomach, preventing them from being stored and reducing the appearance of cellulite. So don’t hesitate to finish your meal with a crisp apple!
Salmon
Among the anti-cellulite foods to enjoy during the holidays, salmon is a natural choice — and it’s often already on our tables. The great thing about it is that it contains healthy fats and omega-3s, which are great for fighting the storage of bad fats and the appearance of cellulite. Ideally, prepare it steamed, baked, or en papillote with a little lemon to make the most of all its benefits!
Red berries — essential anti-cellulite foods
Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries… As well as helping to break down fat, red berries help fight water retention, the main cause of aqueous cellulite. Don’t hesitate to enjoy them during your holiday meals, on their own or in a fruit salad.
Vegetables
Vegetables should make up at least half your plate at any meal — even a festive one! All vegetables will help you fight cellulite, but if you have the choice, go for bell pepper or leek for their detox effect, or cabbage to combat water retention and orange peel skin. Aubergine also absorbs fats and helps eliminate accumulated toxins.
Tea
Remember to drink plenty during a holiday meal to promote a feeling of fullness, flush out toxins, and improve blood circulation. Tea is ideal for rounding off a meal as it helps eliminate excess absorbed fat and prevents water retention. It will help drain your body and rid it of toxins. A large cup of green tea is a must-have end-of-meal ritual for fighting cellulite!
Spices
During a holiday meal, spices can also help you break down fats and limit the appearance of cellulite. Think cinnamon, chilli, or curry. Spices can also be used as a substitute for salt, which promotes fat storage and water retention!
Onion
Great news — onion is used in so many dishes! It acts on fat cells and helps lower blood sugar levels. And that’s not all: it also eliminates toxins and drains tissues to combat retention. So don’t hesitate to include it in your meal to reduce cellulite.
