The Cellulite Solution: A Doctor's Program for Losing Lumps, Bumps, Dimples, and Stretch Marks [Hardcover]

Howard Murad (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 31, 2005

Featuring the youth-building cellulite diet

Blast cellulite with a powerful, effective three-step program.

Every woman dreads it. But most women---even thin women---have it. Massage systems, topical creams, and going off caffeine won't budge cellulite, and dieting usually doesn't reduce it either. At last, The Cellulite Solution contains a simple three-pronged program that actually works to reduce dimpling.
Drawing on thirty-five years of clinical experience, Dr. Murad has developed a cellulite-slaying method that is effective for woman of any age, no matter how severe their cellulite problem is. A triad of nutritional direction, lifestyle changes, and topical treatments combines to both prevent and get rid of cellulite.
Follow Dr. Murad's program and you'll see "cottage cheese thighs" reduced and you'll notice smoother skin all over as your cells are replenished and plumped by water. Dr. Murad explains his complete water principle and why cell hydration-which is essential to healthy and young-looking skin-can't come from drinking water alone. As a bonus, Dr. Murad's program also reduces stretch marks!
Complete with a detailed eating plan and specific recommendations for supplements as well as external skin care, The Cellulite Solution is the magic formula you've been looking for to banish the most stubborn beauty problem women face today.

“Dr. Murad is the Deepak Chopra of skin care.”
— Los Angeles Magazine

“Once you know Dr. Howard Murad, you inevitably realize he has a much deeper understanding of complete health and how it is the synergy of the whole body that creates outer beauty. I deeply respect his research, his inclusive health philosophy and his commitment to staying on the horizon of skin-care treatments. For a long time I have hoped Dr. Murad would write a book. His insight, his practice, and his peaceful nature are too wonderful not to share with the world.”
— Cheryl Tiegs

“Dr. Howard Murad has literally changed the face of professional skin care. His integration of science-based concepts with the reorganization of holistic care of the skin is a true innovation. Dr. Murad’s philosophy of ‘not treating skin problems, but treating people with skin problems’ supports his belief that ‘skin care is health care.’
— Mark Lees, Ph.D., Chairperson of the Board, The Esthetics Manufacturers and Distributors Alliance of the American Beauty Association

This review is from: The Cellulite Solution: A Doctor's Program for Losing Lumps, Bumps, Dimples, and Stretch Marks (Hardcover)

I thought 'Why Not Try it?" and I picked up the book at a book store. I followed the program for 8 weeks as recommended, took the supplements, followed the diet as best as I could, and did the dry brushing...I have to say, my cellulite seems to have diminished. I am now a believer.

This review is from: The Cellulite Solution: A Doctor's Program for Losing Lumps, Bumps, Dimples, and Stretch Marks (Hardcover)

The Cellulite Solution not only helped me to understand the cause of my cellulite but also explains how to repair and correct this condition. Dr. Murad helps to debunk the idea that you get cellulite because you are overweight and shows how cells become damaged through water loss, offering internal and external modifications, as well as dietary modifications to control and correct cellulite. I am very happy that I found this book before swim suit season, so far I am very pleased with my results.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cellulite Solution delivers results!, November 28, 2006

This review is from: The Cellulite Solution: A Doctor's Program for Losing Lumps, Bumps, Dimples, and Stretch Marks (Paperback)

I've always been a skeptic when it comes to beauty products and books, but The Cellulite Solution has made me a believer. I'm a 29 year old female in fairly good shape with a small build, but I have battled cellulite for years. I have tried various creams and spa treatments, but nothing has worked. That is until I read the solutions Dr. Murad provides in his book. In one week, my energy level increased dramatically and my skin looks so hydrated and fresh. It's absolutely amazing! I purchased a bottle of multivitamins (Prevention Magazine brand for women) plus three bottles of supplements that I take twice a day. I've also incorporated a lot of the fresh fruits and vegetables (listed in the book) into my daily meals. I even made the chicken and vegetable soup recipe mentioned in the book. It was delicious. The hardest thing to do has been giving up caffeine (which I'm still working on). I'm only drinking one to two caffeinated drinks a day as opposed to my previous five or more. I highly recommend this book and continue to be impressed with the simplicity of the program and especially the results. Despite what we've all been told, we don't have to live with our cellulite. Thanks to Dr. Murad, there is a solution.
