Salad Recipes for Tackling Cellulite


If you are looking for ideas for wholesome salads that can help prevent cellulite and and improve its appearance, you have come to the right place! This section of the Guide to Fighting Cellulite presents a selection of salad recipes specifically designed for women (and men) with cellulite:

Tomato, Cucumber and Red Onion Salad

Low in calories and fat, this salad makes a great weight loss aid. In addition, contains plenty of onions, one of the best dietary sources of chromium. Chromium has been shown to help increase or maintain lean body mass and aid in fat loss when combined with exercise. These effects of chromium on body composition are believed to result from the ability of this important trace mineral to enhance insulin's activity and to improve insulin sensitivity in the body. The fat loss promoting effects of this salad are further strengthened by balsamic vinegar, which not only adds an invigorating pungency to this salad but which also contains compounds that have been shown to enhance the feeling of satiety and thus reduce the amount of food consumed.

Romaine and Smoked Salmon Salad

Lettuce is a low calorie food that can be used as a basis for light, delectable salads. But it does not always have to be iceberg lettuce! This salad uses romaine lettuce in place of iceberg to create a dish that is full of nutrients that can aid in fat loss and reduce cellulite. The radishes in this salad promote circulation, ensuring that the necessary weight-loss and anti-cellulite nutrients are delivered to all cells of the body and that waste and toxins are removed efficiently. The salmon adds valuable protein.

Shrimp and Eggs on Romaine Lettuce

Eggs and shrimp are among the best natural sources of high quality protein which is essential for the production of collagen and elastin in the connective tissue. But the protein in this salad is hardly its only cellulite busting component: chili mayonnaise dressing is packed with capsaicin, a natural compound that is famous for its ability to increase the body's heat production (thermogenesis), thereby increasing the rate at which the body burns carbohydrates and fats.
