414.0. "Help My Cellulite!" by 49ER::MEYERS (Radio Contest Junky) Thu Mar 02 1989 22:54

    Hi,
    
    What's everyone's opinion on cellulite?  Is it must PLAIN fat?
    I don't think it is...a couple of years ago I jogged and walked
    on a daily basis and lost alot of weight (was down to 115).  I
    still had cellulite.  According to doctors, exercising plus 
    aerobics is all that you need to get rid of it - that's what they 
    think!!
    
    I believe it is more than just plain fat.  I am trying a program
    now from the Anushka Institute in New York (natural enzymes, plus
    massage, special creams and body movements) - I'll let you know
    what the results are.  I heard of the program on television and
    there were testimonials from people who used it who swore that 
    the program completely got rid of their cellulite!  Does anyone
    know more info about this?
                              
    Has anyone tried anything else that worked?  Do I really HAVE to
    give up coffee and liquor to get rid of it??  It seems like we
    can do anything in this world we want - but we can't get rid of
    cellulite!     
    
    Tired of being lumpy and bumpy!!
    
    Nancy

It sounded fishy, especially when they asked the woman who came up with the regimen how it worked. -mike z
414.2	March issue - SHAPE magazine	LDYBUG::GOLDMAN	One day we'll all understand...	`Fri Mar 03 1989 11:41`	8
	There's an article in the March issue of Shape on Cellulite. It talked about what it is, and what some of the misconceptions about it are. I haven't had time yet to read it in detail, but if I get a chance, I'll enter some of the relevant parts. Amy
414.3	Shape Magazine's Viewpoint	49ER::MEYERS	Radio Contest Junky	`Fri Mar 03 1989 14:39`	19
	I have the March issue of Shape Magazine and I read the article on Cellulite - they claim cellulite is regular fat and that weight control combined with aerobic exericse gets rid of it.....!! If that's true - why didn't I even see a "slight improvement" with all the aerobic exercise that I did even when I was at my proper weight? I do enjoy reading Shape Magazine - but I bet the author of that article does not have cellulite (I can't remember if the author was male or female) - so what do they really know about the problem? If there is anyone out there who had cellulite and completely got rid of it via aerobic exercise and normal dieting...let me know!! Anxiously waiting... Nancy

	.3> rid of it via aerobic exercise and normal dieting...let me know!! I had a girlfriend who did just that. She lost almost all the cellulite on her fanny - but it took almost a year. -mike z
414.5	Does it work?	CSG::CHENAUSKY		`Mon Mar 27 1989 14:10`	8
	Nancy, How is the program working? Have you seen any improvements like the show said. I believe they said 3 - 4 weeks before improvement will be visible? Has there been any? Or do you feel you were cheated? Kim
414.6	A little improvement	49ER::MEYERS	Radio Contest Junky	`Tue Mar 28 1989 19:49`	10
	Reply to .5 (Kim) I see a slight improvement in the front of my thighs - but so far not a big improvement in the back of the thighs or my butt - I am not dieting as strictly as the program says (no coffee, alcohol, etc.) but I am doing the rest. I'll keep you posted as to the improvements (or disappointments) as I go through this program. Nancy
414.7	from The Edell Health Letter, Aug 89, p8	ANT::ZARLENGA	radios pumpin' to the way she walked	`Sun Aug 13 1989 09:29`	11
	Q. I have cellulite on my thighs so I bought a cream that claims to remove it by breaking down toxins and fat. It hasn't. Why? A. Actually, toxins have nothing to do with cellulite. Cellulite is just fat that has built up betwen walls of connective tissue. As you gain weight, the fat cells bulge upward from these confined spaces, pushing the skin out into a pattern of bumps and puckers. The only way to get rid of cellulite is to remove fat, through diet or exercise, or in some cases through the surgical fat- vaccuuming technique called liposuction.
