The Cellulite Breakthrough : 5 Steps to Ending Cellulite Forever

Rating:
Summary: Definitely a breakthrough
Review: This book is very informative. It explained the reason for cellulite. It discusses what products out there are geared to help to combat the situation. The author explains what each product (herbal, topical, etc.) is supposed to do and follows up with any studies that have been done. There is really good 30 day diet in the book to help to drop pounds and there are exercises with information on how to "downsize your thighs". I read this and discussed it with a friend. I am now buying it for my friend to read.

Summary: Valuable info
Review: This book was a bit hard to read - the format is not very nice (small writing, rough pages, only black and white, lots of solid text and no charts or similar) and the first 2 chapters are particularly hard, as the author goes into very much detail of what causes cellulite and what happens at the cellular level and so on. Personally, I'm a bit challenged as far as chemistry goes, so I ended up skipping this section after I had a hard time for several pages.
That said, the book does give great, valuable info on supplementation and the right foods to eat to eliminate cellulite and create a cellulite-resistant body. The training section is particularly good, the suggested system of doing 3 sets of each exercise and stretching that muscle in between sets will not only help you eradicate cellulite, but make you much stronger than strength training or cardio alone, much faster. I think the meal plan has a bit too much gluten and dairy for someone who wants to avoid water retention and bloating (and for for general health, too, without mentioning possible intolerances), but if the reader considers that in addition to following the guidelines listed in the chapter about nutrition she can work out her own meal plan better than the one suggested in the book.
To really reach your goal, I would recommend pairing this up with the guidelines in "The Fat Flush Plan" by Ann Louise Gittleman, as well as performing periodic mono-dieting, as suggested in "Fit for Life: a new beginning" by Harvey Diamond.
