Let’s Talk Cellulite
It’s damn ugly.
And it’s damn hard to get rid of.
The unfortunate truth is that even if you’ve done pretty well with dieting and weight loss so far, cellulite can be nearly impossible to shift.
It’s not fair.
You put in all the hard work with your training and diet, making sure you stick to your plan and get all your sessions in. The weight on the scales go down, your measurements go in, and even your stubborn body parts trim up, yet that cellulite just loves to hang about, like it’s mocking you.
What is cellulite?
Cellulite isn’t like normal fat tissue – it appears as lumps underneath your skin, hence its often-used nickname “cottage cheese skin!”
Unfortunately, even the scientific and medical fields don’t really know exactly what cellulite is, or any definite, concrete cause. It does appear to affect certain types of fat however, and has just as much to do with a degeneration of the connective tissue, rather than just the fat cells themselves.
What causes cellulite?
One of the big players here is estrogen. This is why cellulite is far more common in women than in men.
Genetics play a role too, so despite your best efforts, you may well be prone to carrying more cellulite than others … BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t shift it, just that it might take a little more work for you to do so than it does for your best friend or your gym buddy.
Clearly, lifestyle and diet are involved too.
That’s why, while there are special tips, tricks and tactics you can use to banish cellulite (and we’ll delve into these very shortly), all the basics still apply.
To reduce your cellulite you need to:
- Clean up your diet
- Eat an appropriate number of calories so you shed body fat and lose weight.
- Train hard (preferably with weights).
- Get plenty of sleep – 7-9 hours at least.
- Reduce external stressors in your life.
- Perform regular cardio exercise and keep active.
- Keep drinking to a minimum.
- Avoid smoking.
Those are all pretty standard, and let’s face it; you’d have been surprised if they weren’t ways to reduce cellulite, right?
Doing everything right?
So you think you’ve got the above nailed, and not sure where to go next?
Well, read on.
In the next section, you’ll discover the exact tactics and training plan needed to beat cellulite for good.
It’s a two-pronged approach, encompassing both nutrition and training – both of which are guaranteed to smash cellulite for eternity.
1. Pump Up the Protein
Protein isn’t just used to build and repair muscles – it also plays a critical role in keeping your connective tissues and skin cells healthy.
Did you know that all those anti-aging creams that promote collagen regeneration contain protein?
That’s because protein really can protect your skin from damage, and as cellulite is a form of cell damage, it makes sense to up your protein intake to combat the problem from the inside.
Here’s what you need to do –
- Work out how much protein you need each day. This should be a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight daily.
- Divide this between 4 to 6 meals each day.
- Get your protein from a variety of sources – good quality meats, oily and non-oily fish, eggs, protein powders and dairy products.
- If you don’t want to count, weigh and measure everything, then simply aim to eat a fist-sized serving of lean protein at every meal.
2. Train to Beat Cellulite
A typical strength-based full-body or upper-lower routine, focusing on progressive overload, with some cardio thrown into the mix will be okay for cutting down your cellulite.
But who wants “okay” when you could have AWESOME?
While you can’t spot reduce fat, you can target cellulite by focusing on specific areas.
Here’s why –
When you train a body part, you increase blood flow to it. This blood is full of nutrients, and will aid repair, recovery and cell growth, thus helping to repair the damage caused by cellulite.
You’ll also be including some strategic cardio – once again, with the idea of increasing blood flow.
The areas that carry most of your cellulite will be your “target body part” in this program. You’ll still train everything else, you’ll just place a focus on this area, and using lower-rep ranges to add strength and boost testosterone.
A weekly schedule will look like this (using your legs as the target body part.):
Monday – Legs Strength + HIIT Cardio
Tuesday – Upper Body
Wednesday – Legs Hypertrophy + HIIT cardio
Thursday – Off
Friday – Upper Body
Saturday – Legs Tempo Session + Steady State Cardio
Sunday – Off
Sample Session

This is just a small snippet of just what you need to banish cellulite.
Cellulite really is a curse on so many women, and it’s damn frustrating not knowing how to shift it.
Your basic dieting tips and training programs DO NOT WORK.
Sure, they help you lose weight, and get rid of a few of your “wobbly bits” but that lumpy, bumpy, unsightly cellulite will still not budge unless you have a cellulite-specific protocol in place.
There’s so much more you can do with your nutrition than what’s listed here, too.
And the full training template is so effective I couldn’t believe the results my female clients were getting from it when I discovered the secrets to banishing cellulite.
The trick really is in how everything’s combined, as well as the exercise selection, the different types of sessions, and incorporating different workloads and rep ranges.
While I usually only let me one to one female clients in on this, for this time only, I’m running a seminar that specifically goes over the strategies I use to get our clients in to tip top shape, including getting rid of their cellulite.
This offer is only for dedicated females who’ve tried everything without success, and are ready to finally make the leap and learn the REAL mechanics of hormonal mastery.
I promise you – the results you’ll get from applying what you’ll learn here are unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
