Cellulite, Cellulite… It’s time to do a detox.

by Lisa on April 5, 2011


There is no quick and fast way to cure cellulite. I’m sorry, I know that’s not what you wanted to hear.. but it’s the truth. So what can you actually do to rid yourself of the dreaded stuff. Well there are a few options but first and foremost you need to detox and flush your body of all the dreadful toxins.

So, What Exactly Is Cellulite?

Some storage fat is found around the body organs for protection, but over 50 percent of total body fat is found just under the skin and is known as subcutaneous fat. When this ‘subcutaneous fat’ is separated by connective tissue into small compartments, it gives a dimpled, orange peel like look to the skin and is popularly known as cellulite. Cellulite is primarily fat, but may contain high concentrations of glycoproteins, particles that can attract water and possibly give cellulite skin that waffle like appearance. Other storage fat is located deep in the body, particularly in the abdominal area. This deep fat is referred to as visceral fat, which is associated with increased health risks.

There are a lot of treatments and products out there that will treat your cellulite but firstly you must clean out your body. Do a total body flush. Here is a cheap option that totally works.

Detox given by my naturopath..

Ideally done first thing in the morning

Magnesium Oxide or Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts)

  • Mix 2 Tablespoons of the powder in a large glass of water so it dissolves.
  • Immediately follow with 2 teaspoons of concentrated lemon juice (or the juice of one lemon) in a large glass of warm water.
  • Drink 3-4 large glasses of warm water immediately after that.

You can expect 2 or more very watery bowel movements within a few hours of taking the above mixture.

It is ideal that you eat only steamed or lightly boiled vegetables (vegetable broth of mainly green leafy vegetable is ideal) or fresh soups (not canned or packet), for two days before the day of, and the day after the flush.

If you get hungry while on the liquid diet eat Bean Supreme’s organic Tofu or Vegetarian Sausages. Ask your practitioner how much of these to eat,

Children (5-15years): Use 1 teaspoon

OR

Aloe Vera Juice: 50-100ml before bed, or 1 litre of Prune Juice or Rhubarb Soup

Epsom Salts are good for so many things, it is so amazing for the skin. This type of flush is recommended once a year.

Oh and I better mention that you better grow some balls before taking this. It is not pleasant. Drink it fast, get it over with! haha
