Eating better to look after your figure and tackle cellulite: we all agree on the principle… But in practice, do you know which good habits to adopt for a healthier diet every day? Fresh produce, home cooking, fish, plant-based proteins, lighter cooking methods, herbs and spices: let’s break it down together with these 8 basic tips that are incredibly easy to put into practice!
Choose fresh produce
The golden rule for eating better: go fresh! That means seasonal fruits and vegetables, of course, but it also means steering clear of processed foods. Say goodbye to ready-made meals — far too fatty and salty, and packed with additives. The same goes for tinned goods, which tend to be loaded with sugar. By choosing fresh ingredients, you stay in control of what you eat and avoid unnecessary extras that are just as bad for your figure as they are for your cellulite.
Cook from scratch — the key to eating better!
One of the most important steps towards eating better is preparing your own meals! Try planning your menus on Sundays and batch-cooking dishes to freeze for the week ahead. That way, you can be sure of eating well every single day, which is a real plus when you want to tackle dimpled skin! Mix things up with soups, quiches, salads and more. Keep it simple with wholesome, straightforward ingredients.
Opt for fish
You can enjoy white meat (several times a week) and even red meat (once a week)… But try to eat more fish, which provides the body with healthy fats. Sardines, mackerel, tuna, salmon, cod… Fish is rich in protein, just like seafood: crab, prawns, mussels and more. And swap the mayo for a squeeze of lemon! You’ll load up on essential nutrients while looking after both your figure and your skin.

Embrace plant-based eating
Plant-based proteins can also replace animal proteins at certain meals, helping you eat better with ease. Pumpkin seeds, oats, tofu, soy, olive oil, walnut oil, dried fruits and nuts… Don’t hesitate to incorporate them regularly into your diet: it’s a good habit for a more varied plate when you want to tackle orange-peel skin!
Steam your food
When it comes to looking after your figure and tackling cellulite, the cooking method is often the real issue! And there’s no getting around it: it’s best to limit cooking with butter and oil. Instead, opt for steaming — it preserves the natural flavour of your ingredients beautifully: vegetables, fish, meat… Time to get your pressure cooker out! Tiered steamers are also a great option for cooking several ingredients at once.
Grill your way to better eating
Another great cooking alternative: the grill or barbecue with no added fat. An electric plancha is also a brilliant investment for cooking your meats and vegetables. And in some ovens, the grill function actually helps draw out the fat from food — another win for healthier eating!
Use fresh herbs
It bears repeating: it’s best to go easy on the salt, and you can easily do without it with a few simple tricks! Using fresh herbs can help you cut down on your salt intake. Try parsley, chives in pasta, thyme and rosemary with fish, basil and so much more. These herbs will bring a whole new dimension to your dishes!
Spice things up
The great thing about spices is that they add flavour and colour to your dishes in the simplest of ways! And the choice is yours: cinnamon, curry, cumin, nutmeg, couscous spices… You can use them to season couscous, pasta, rice, vegetables and even meats like chicken! These ingredients are a simple way to liven up your anti-cellulite diet on a daily basis.
