| Why does a high protein diet help cellulite? Eating lots of proteins together with weight lifting exercises will help build muscle. Body builders consume protein shakes to achieve this without having to eat extra fat. Muscle as a higher metabolic rate than fat, therefore you can eat more calories without putting on extra weight. As well as raising your metabolism proteins make you feel fuller for longer by keeping your blood sugar levels steady and preventing any sugar cravings. Most of us have heard of the Atkin's diet. By eating more proteins you are also less likely to eat carbohydrates. This means instead your body burns fat to provide energy. If you lose some fat, chances are you will lose some cellulite too. Protein is essential in the diet to provide the amino acids needed to build new proteins such as collagen. Building new collagen is essential to repair the skin and replacing collagen bands that have hardened due to cellulite. Proteins, especially eggs, contain a substance called albumin which helps absorb excess fluid including that in the fat layers beneath the skin. Therefore water retention is reduced and the appearance of cellulite. |
