"Cottage  cheese fat" or "orange peel" thighs.

You've heard all the names  for cellulite, that dimpled, irregular,  lumpy, bumpy appearance  that  women get on their thighs other parts of their body. Some of you may have  it. But how to get rid of cellulite?

Cellulite is a nonmedical term to describe how superficial pockets  of fat are constricted by the bands of connective tissue leading  from muscles to the  skin. The  bands  of connective  tissue push the fat into lumps and bumps and pull the skin down into dimples. Cellulite can be made worse by weight gain, by formation of more tightly crossed connective tissue bands,  or by formation of scar tissue after liposuction.  

While  there  are some men who have cellulite, it is estimated that 90%  of  the female population have or will have cellulite. It is not something  that  only  plagues  the  obese or  overweight. It can affect   skinny   people,   too,  and  has  no  prejudice.  So  throw everything  out  the  window that you've heard about cellulite and listen  up.   Your skinny  little  cousin  may have it, your average-weight   friend   who   just   had   liposuction  may  have  it,  that overweight lady at the deli may have it, that muscular cardiofreak woman at  the  gym  probably doesn't have it, but who needs her?

Pinch  your thigh slightly and if you begin to see dents and bumps, you  have  cellulite. However,  many  women  don't  even have to pinch  thighs  to  see  it.  For  many women,  they can just stand there, innocently, and cry at the sight of their dimpled backsides in the mirror.
