    Thanks for these recipes! Really! I have notice lately that I have cellulite in my legs and that?s so awful! I want to stop it right now as soon as I can and avoid having it more pronounced, so thanks for the food combinations, I?m going to practice this diet until I see results and some exercise as well

    I see a lot of information regarding diet and recipes to fight cellulite, but honestly I think the biggest thing is just not being overweight. exercise is a key part of that, and I think cycling or doing any sort of leg intensive exercise is really anyone’s best bet. I have been a cyclist for years and have never had cellulite.
