Avatar n tn A great deal of money is spent by people who want to rid themselves of cellulite, but no amount of weight loss, exercise, massages, wraps, creams, supplements, or surgery has proven to effectively eliminate it once you have it. Liposuction, for instance, is not recommended for cellulite, and may even make it look worse.
1063764 tn?1272821064 I was watching a documentary and heard about a case where a woman was put on niacin supplements for depression. She was taking very large dosages, but it completely pulled her out of her depression. So far fluoxetine has helped me, but I think in time I will need a larger dosage. I would really rather not do that, so my question is: is it safe to take niacin supplements of 100 mg daily plus an extra multivitamin with 20mg. I don't want to end up taking too many vitamins.
596105 tn?1314580333 Cellulite is fat. Period. Cellulite is simply a term used by scientists to describe that cottage cheesy stuff that you often find on your thighs, butt, and hips. Women typically have cellulite because their adipose tissue is structured differently from men. As we gain weight, our fat cells swell while our connective tissue stays the same, thereby causing that lovely dimpling effect we all love to hate. So, can you get rid of it?
Avatar m tn Niacin is important for the conversion of carbohydrates, protein and fat into energy! Adults need about 16 milligrams a day. Almonds, Niacin Content: 1 oz, 1 mg Daily Value: 6%. Eat them right before you go the gym. Their high in L-arginine that can actually boost your carb and fat burn during your workout. Navy Beans, Niacin: 1/2 cup, 1.5 mg Daily Value: 9%. They contain resistant starch, a type of fiber that boosts calorie burn by up to 23%.

1135275 tn?1586565652 Niacin is toxic in too high a dose. Niacinamide isn't, and so that's usually used for mental health purposes, but it doesn't yield a lot of niacin. Niacin will also give you a hot flush on your skin, unless you buy a non-flush niacin, which is usually, again, niacinamide. Niacin is usually used for the heart.
6918915 tn?1395932871 This is my second pregnancy but I don't remember the first super clear, it was ten years ago. I'm 27 w 3days and I've gained 20 lbs which I don't think is too bad. But I'm getting cellulite in all these new spots including the front of my thighs and hips! Omg! It's gross :(. Is this happening to anyone else? Does pregnancy cellulite go away after the baby comes and you lose weight?
Avatar f tn okay im 18 yrs old. I have cellulite on my butt, and all around the upper part of my thys. What can i do to get rid of this and fast? lotions, and excerises that can be dun with no equipment at home.
Avatar f tn Cellulite is irregular pockets of fat, under the skin. Exercise and losing fat, overall, is the best treatment for cellulite. Unfortunately, the creams/lotions don't usually do much good. There may be some that reduce the "appearance" of cellulite, but they won't get rid of it.
Avatar f tn m getting more and more cellulite around my butt/thighs that I cannot combat no matter how hard I work out or watch my diet. I am now four months with my first child and am noticing it increasing at an alarming rate. What can I do???
Avatar f tn Ive had cellulite for a long time that I cant ever seem to get rid of. Are there any ways (from experience) to get rid of it or reduce the appearance & plz dont just say diet & exercise, I need more specific details plz.
730826 tn?1317943334 Once that is done, prepare an area with newspaper to massage the coffee grounds into the cellulite. After you have done that for a few minutes, wrap in plastic wrap and leave in place for about 30 minutes. The massage will increase the blood flow to the area to help tone skin. After the coffee grounds have been in place for roughly 30 minutes, scrap off the grounds and take a shower to remove any oil or grounds that remain. Repeat the process a few times each week.
Avatar f tn im getting quite depressed about all of this as i use cream and oil every day make sure im well covered but its a losing battle my body is gonna be ruined! as for the cellulite ive heard if you massage cream into those places but it has to be a hard pinching motion to break down the fatty lumps under the skin you can keep it under control but it does hurt a bit doing this.
Avatar f tn I've read conflicting articles saying that niacin is necessary for thyroid function and then some that say it can lower thyroid levels and cause liver damage. I've seen it in some iron supplements and wondered if I needed to stay away from it or if it would be good to take.
Avatar f tn Also lunges work well because they tone as you use your body weight for resistance. Squats work good too. Cellulite will probably never go completly away, but the more toned and muscular your legs appear the less the cellulite will be noticable. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.

Avatar n tn I am a 22 year active female with significant amount of muscle and am in the healthy weight range for my height. I exercise 2 hours everyday, watch my caloric intake, and drink so much water that friends joke i would evaporate if placed over fire! I have always had some cellulite, as does everyone, and i know a large majority of its existence and appearance are genetic, but I feel as if recently i have developed MORE. or at least, it seems to be much, much more apparent than before.

Avatar f tn His early work led to the use of niacin for schizophrenia and as an cholesterol treatment. Dr. Hoffer died in 2009 at the age of 91, but he successfully treated many thousands of patients with high dose niacin for psychotic disorders. He presented some very compelling evidence to support treating most psychotic disorders as a vitamin B3 deficiency.
