Every woman that has them, hates them - those ripples, dips, and dimples on their thighs, hips, and buttocks. This is cellulite, a.k.a. cottage cheese thighs. Cellulite can settle in, regardless of body weight or fitness level. On some you can barely see it, yet on others it's very evident. Increase your exercise and watch the diet. Avoid sugary snacks and instead reach for fruit and raw veggies.

Drink lots of water to cleanse your system and flush the toxins from your body cells.

Avoid coffee and switch to herbal teas. Fruit juices are better than soda too.

If you are into aromatherapy, blend a couple of drops of your favorite into a carrier oil like almond for example and GENTLY massage this into the area in question on a daily basis.

It will take about 4-6 weeks before you see any results so don't expect to see results on the first day and don't expect to see 100% of it disappear. I don't think we could be this lucky but you can improve things to a great degree.

Vitamin C has been recommended by cellulite researchers.

Swimming is great as is walking and any stretching exercises.

Weight training and exercise. Some fitness gurus claim that weight training and exercise (combined with proper eating) will put a healthy layer of muscle underneath the fat that can eventually replace the fat.

Proper eating. Cutting down on excess fat and eliminating toxins from your body may or may not cure cellulite, but it is probably good for you anyway.

Brushes, massages, creams. Others encourage "brushing" your legs and massaging them daily to provided added circulation, sometimes in combination with thigh creams.

Unfortunately, cellulite is one of those things that women have to face. But rather than hopelessly sitting around and watching the bumps multiply, why not fight back? The tools you need are right at your fingertips and only take a few minutes each day. A little exercise, whole organic foods, a stimulating massage, a proven cream - fighting cellulite could be worse.
