Cellulite secrets

Five tips to shifting that orange-peel look — fast!

  1. Get glugging

Start each day with a cup of hot water with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Replace your coffee, soft drinks and cordials with water.

  1. Veg out

Pile your plate with vegies and salads splashed with a low-fat dressing or a touch of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Eat lots of fruit, including vitamin C-packed citrus fruits, kiwifruit, mango and berries.

  1. Spice it up

Ditch the salt — it makes your body retain water. Add flavour to your meals with herbs and spices like black pepper, chilli or garlic.

  1. Eat fresh

Avoid processed and refined foods. Go for wholegrain cereals, breads, pastas and rice. Buy fresh vegies, meat and fruit and prepare your meals from scratch. It doesn’t have to take hours. There are plenty of recipe books around with quick, low-fat food ideas.

  1. Keep on running

Running is one of the best forms of exercise for toning and firming your legs. If running isn’t for you, try cellulite-busting cycling or walking.
