Now if you're using something or doing something & you feel that its working then by all means, continue to do what you do. But medically, this is what he said:
He said that THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO FOR IT. YOU CAN NOT GET RID OF IT AND PILLS & CREAMS DON'T WORK.
I was sooo not expecting him to say that & found it depressing. Then I thought about all of the things that are out there on the market for cellulite & realized that it sucks that so many products are labeled to "cure" when it can't be cured.
Here's the link from Oprah.com:
Dr. Oz's Beauty Book
"If there's one thing women want a magic pill for, it's cellulite. Dr. Oz is here with some bad news. "You can't cure it. There's nothing you can do about it," he says.
Cellulite is actually a collection of fat cells next to arteries that get larger when they take in extra nutrients, which increase as you age. "As those molecules of fat begin to accumulate in the individual fat cells, those cells become nice and big and plump," Dr. Oz says. As the cells grow, they suck more blood supply toward them, which helps them to keep growing. "They blow up like individual balloons.""
I know I caught the 7pm show and wanted to die I started to feel like everything that I have done so far was for nothing, But my FI insist that I keep up the leg exercises because he sees a difference.
