“I have studied and researched cellulite for more than two decades now and I have been saying for years that there is a huge overlap between the so-called Western civilisation diseases and cellulite. It is now known that ultra-processed foods cause a host of civilisation diseases and at the same time it is a major reason why cellulite is so prevalent today, as opposed to a few generations ago. The best way to avoid ultra-processed foods is not to buy them and to have mostly homemade food, as opposed to takeaway or restaurant food.”
Ultra-processed foods are nutritional junk that lead to disease, whole body ageing, skin ageing and cellulite

Do ultra-processed foods cause cellulite?
In the last few years a lot is written about how ultra-processed foods can cause heart disease, cancer and undermine overall health.
But what about cellulite? We have made it clear on this blog that there is a big overlap between Western civilisation diseases (diabetes, heart disease, cancer etc) and cellulite. Sure, cellulite does not kill but the same things that cause those diseases to a large extent also cause cellulite. There is no complete overlap but there is a quite extensive one.
Ultra-processed foods (UPF), i.e. the exact opposite for fresh, ‘clean’ foods, rob food from all its nutrients to leave almost empty calories and a host of chemicals.
Ultra-processed foods are rich in trans fats, saturated fats, ultra-processed fats, various types of sugars, refined carbs, lots of questionable chemicals (stabilisers, emulsifiers, flavourings, taste enhancers, sweeteners etc) and lots and lots of microplastics, courtesy of their packaging.
Plus, ultra-processed foods are poor in enzymes (which are only available in fresh foods), vitamins, polyphenols, carotenoids, fibre etc.
All in all, ultra-processed foods are the definition of cellulite-causing foods.
Examples of ultra-processed foods
Examples of ultra-processed foods include fried food, ice cream, crisps, confectionery, pastries, cakes, biscuits, margarines, spreads, breakfast cereals, cereal bars, energy bars, carbonated drinks (except sparking water), energy drinks, milk drinks, fruit yogurts, fruit drinks, meat and chicken extracts, instant sauces, vegan ‘meat’, vegan ‘cheese’, infant formulas, powdered or liquid ‘slimming’ meals, poultry and fish nuggets/sticks, sausages, burgers, hot dogs, powdered and packaged instant soups, noodles and desserts and a whole lot of similar nutritional junk.
As you can see from the above list, ultra-processed foods are not only found in the supermarket or in fast food joints but even in takeaways, restaurants and even high-end restaurants.
In fact, takeaways and eating out is a major source of ultra processed food ingredients, seed oils, trans fatty acids, salt and sugar, as well as microplastics and forever chemicals.
How can ultra-processed foods cause cellulite?
Consuming a lot of ultra-processed foods will inevitably result in inflammation, glycation, free radical damage, fat accumulation, water retention and hormone disruption, all of which are factors of cellulite - plus in overall poor health.
So cooking at home from scratch with raw ingredients, not with sachets, pouches, tins and cartons, is essential to maintain both good health and cellulite-free thighs.

At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
