Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol if you have cellulite. Alcohol is a toxin that can increase fat levels in blood, slowing down circulation and adds additional burden onto the waste removal organs. The absorption of certain fat burners like Vitamin C, calcium and zinc can be reduced if too much of alcohol is consumed.
Refined Food: If you suffer from cellulite, avoid foods that contain salt or sodium, sweeteners and additives. Fresh foods with organic ingredients are the best to treat cellulite.
Saturated Fat: Foods with saturated fat found in meat, butter and other full-fat dairies should be kept to the minimum level in your diet.
Refined Carbohydrates: Try substituting white rice, sugars and bread with brown rice, whole-meal bread and brown sugars in your cellulite diet plan. Too much intake of these high-level carbohydrate foods will increase the amount of fat stored in your body.
