To say goodbye to cellulite, exercise, massage and a healthy diet are all essential. As you know, what you eat plays a key role in the appearance — or disappearance — of cellulite. We’ve already covered the best anti-cellulite vegetables, but do you know the worst foods — the ones to cut from your plate if you want smoother, firmer skin? Let’s break it down!
Sommaire
Sugar: the #1 worst food for cellulite!
We’re talking about white sugar, the number one enemy in the fight against cellulite! White sugar provides no useful nutrients for the body. It encourages fat storage, cravings and weight gain. White sugar is therefore firmly on the list of foods to avoid if you want smoother skin. The good news is that alternatives exist: brown sugar, honey, agave syrup… These are far better choices for your wellbeing.
Salt
Salt also earns its place on the list of foods to avoid if you want to say goodbye to cellulite. Refined salt (table salt) is a key driver of water retention in the body. It impairs circulation, which can lead to the build-up of fatty deposits — also known as orange-peel skin! Swap out the table salt sitting in your cupboard and reach instead for sea salt, fleur de sel or pink salt. These are richer in the minerals your body actually needs.
Fizzy drinks
Time to cut back on fizzy drinks and sodas! Loaded with sugar, they make cellulite worse — just like shop-bought fruit juices. Opt for still water with a squeeze of lemon for a fat-burning boost, herbal teas, plant infusions or anti-cellulite smoothies to top up your vitamins and help drain the body!
Fried foods
Chips, nuggets, battered fish… All these oil-cooked foods contribute to the appearance of cellulite. Too fatty and too salty, they encourage the body to store fat. These foods to avoid can easily be replaced with healthier cooking methods. For example, try making your chips in the oven for a satisfying yet balanced dish.
Sauces
Ready-made sauces are so convenient for livening up a meal… but it’s best to leave them on the shelf, as they’re among the foods that promote cellulite. Mayonnaise, ketchup, barbecue sauce… These shop-bought condiments are often packed with sugars, salt and fats. Make your own sauces instead — you’ll have full control over the ingredients and avoid unnecessary excess!
Alcohol
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but alcohol also makes the list of foods to avoid if you want to tackle cellulite! Alcoholic drinks contain sugar and contribute to water retention… So if you’re after firmer, more toned-looking skin, reach for fresh fruit juices, flavoured waters or even coffee instead!
Junk food in general
Junk food covers all the foods that are loaded with hidden sugars, fat, and processed or refined ingredients. This includes fast food meals, sandwiches, ready meals (yes, even the ones labelled “light”!), sweets and so on. Always favour fresh, minimally processed, home-cooked food.
