Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Dr. Murad, June 14, 2005

By	Bentsen (San Carlos, CA) - See all my reviews

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

By	Colagirl (Columbia, SC) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Celulite Solution, December 27, 2005

By	D. Schadel (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

This book made a lot of sense and Dr. Murad explains everything logically and in simple terms. I thought that if it doesn't work, adding more vitamins and supplements to my diet is still a good thing. Since starting this program, I have noticed areas of my body becoming more firm and overall I have more energy. Yes, I still have my cellulite, but it appears to be not as prominent. The supplements were not hard to find --- and it is cheaper to find them on your own than to get Dr. Murad's supplement packets. I appreciated that Dr. Murad does not mention his products excessively in the book. There are several vitamin websites that offer great deals, and local drugstores are always having buy one, get one free sales every week. Plus shopping clubs sell a lot of the needed supplements and vitamins too.
This is a good book and I am glad I added this regimen to my lifestyle.
