A bad diet not only makes your pins prone to cellulite: if you're carrying a few excess pounds they show up very fast on your legs and make them look heavy.
A balanced diet is essential. Eat foods from every group in the right proportions: ideally around 15% protein, 35% fat and 50% carbohydrates according to your needs (1 800 calories per day), making sure you limit your intake of saturated fat (from fatty meat, cakes, cheese, butter and fried food), simple sugars (sweets, fizzy drinks and cakes) and salt (pre-prepared food or ready meals, and salted meats).
If you suffer from bad circulation, avoid alcohol as far as possible because it has a dilatory effect.
Drinking lots of water throughout the day (during and in between meals) is also essential. Drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres a day to help drain your body of toxins.
