How do I keep off the weight after the diet?
People always complain that they regain all of the weight they lost while dieting after the diet is over. This is a very common problem. Most people don’t understand why they regain the weight. The answer, as usual, is very simple. They stopped. They stopped watching what they ate. They stopped paying attention to calorie content and portion size. And, they stopped exercising.
People assume there is an ‘end’ to the diet. Most people think that once they reach their goal weight, the diet is over. They believe they can now resume their normal eating and exercise habits and keep their new body. But the normal eating and exercise habits are what resulted in the extra weight in the first place. If you repeat habits that created a problem, the problem will reappear.

But you will not be able to eliminate the cellulite plaguing your thighs, hips, butt, and everywhere else you don’t want it. So what are you supposed to do, just accept it? Wear one of those bathing suits with a little skirt that your grandmother loves so much? Or maybe just comfort yourself by looking at the pictures on the cover of the gossip magazines highlighting the cellulite on skinny stars?

In lay terminology, it is fat that pushes through cell walls into the middle layer of skin and shows through to the surface. Cellulite is not caused by excess weight. That is a myth. Researchers have found that due to genetics, even skinny people are cursed with cellulite. The big question is, how do we get rid of it?
