The Challenge
It’s Day 22 of the “My Body Challenge”.
As every day from now on: don’t forget your large glass of water (ideally with lemon) and your cold anti-cellulite shower (explained on Day 4).
For breakfast, we suggest the recipe for a quick & light chocolate fondant
Ingredients (serves 8)
– 200 g chocolate
– 2 eggs
– +/- 2 tablespoons sugar
– 1 tablespoon flour
– 1 tablespoon butter
Recipe preparation:
Melt the chocolate over low heat with a little water.
Stir in the butter.
Remove from heat and let cool for a few moments.
Preheat your oven to 220°C.
Add the eggs, flour and sugar to the mixture. Pour everything into a round cake tin (lined with baking paper).
Bake for 20 min at 190–200°C (test with a knife – the batter should no longer stick to it).
Then leave to cool in the refrigerator.
Tip: serve very cold with a vanilla custard sauce or an organic raspberry coulis.
And to go alongside your breakfast, here is the recipe for a Green smoothie
Ingredients (1 mug):
– 1/2 avocado
– 1/2 banana
– 1 cup romaine hearts
– 1 handful of baby spinach
– 1/4 cucumber
– 2 celery stalks
– 1/2 cup ice or 100 ml very cold water
(optional: 1 teaspoon chia seeds, juice of 1/2 lemon)
Preparation:
Rinse the baby spinach and remove the stems.
Rinse the romaine, cucumber and celery, then peel the avocado.
Blend all the ingredients, optionally adding a teaspoon of chia seeds and the juice of half a lemon.
Enjoy 🙂

The daily pinch-and-roll massage
To tackle cellulite, the pinch-and-roll technique is the most effective massage method out there.
This technique involves kneading the skin to stimulate lipolysis, which helps release fat from adipose cells while boosting both venous and lymphatic circulation.
These actions help combat cellulite and the orange-peel effect, as well as reducing water retention. Ideal for eliminating toxins beneath the skin, this massage can be performed with a device, by a professional, or by hand.
The movement should always go from bottom to top to improve circulation. Even if this technique can sometimes be uncomfortable, it is remarkably effective against all types of cellulite. A few basic principles should nonetheless be followed:
The massage should always be performed on an area that has been oiled beforehand.
The pinch-and-roll technique should not be used on skin with open wounds, as this risks aggravating injuries and hindering proper healing.
