what causes cellulite? (1 Viewer)

[yups]

i know that even skinny girls get cellulite .. but what causes it ? and why don't all girls have cellulite ? (i read that approximately 90% of girls/women have it.. what about those lucky 10%?)

 

[russs]

estrogen

the "lucky" 10% probably have too much male hormones hence less fat / more muscle tissue.

just a guess.

actually, a correct guess. here's a quote:

Cellulite is thought to occur in 80-90% of women.[8][9] There appears to be a hormonal component to its presentation. It is rarely seen in males,[2] but is more common in males with androgen-deficient states such as Klinefelter's syndrome, hypogonadism, post-castration states and in those patients receiving oestrogen therapy for prostate cancer. The cellulite becomes more severe as the androgen deficiency worsens in these males.

Slowly seems to be. I keep relapsing into bad eating habits though.

Exercise seems to help the most, walk EVERYWHERE.

I'm just lazy, which doesn't help, lol

but i've managed to increased my exercising .. for the past 2 months i've been walking at least an hour everyday so hopefully that will help

grr i'm annoyed because some people tell me that cellulite is permanent while others say you can get rid of it . so i dont know what to believe :\

 

[vannilla_latte]

this girl i was talking to told me that her 9 year old niece came up to her and was like "gina! look i have cellulite!"

9 year olds know what cellulite is alreadY??

 

[SeCKSiiMiNh]

do guys get them?

EDIT: my legs are completely smooth by the way

 

[lonely-lass]

I have that too, doesn't look good at all.

 

[ambermorn]

I read that eating stuff with omega 3 can help, don't know if it's bullshit though.

I'm a size 8, but still have a little bit of cellulite. I don't exercise except for an occasional walk, but am considering joining a gym.

yea ive seen it but its less visible since the skin is more stretched. isint it cured by drinking a heck of alot of water and doing some extreme exercises (since normal cardio mainly works your quadriceps instead of the back of the thigh where cellulite most likely occurs) or use some chinese clensing thingy. the latter is not recommended

 

[Riet]

its caused by being female pretty much
