According to Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary "cellulite" is defined as "a non-technical term for subcutaneous deposits of fat, especially in the buttocks, legs, and thighs." Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and drinking plenty of water each day can help eliminate cellulite. Cellulite is gender-based. According Dr. Mitchel Goldman, an associate clinical professor at the University of California San Diego and an expert on cellulite, most men do not suffer from cellulite. However, most women do. A low caloric intake will reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Lower your Caloric Intake

Although you can take steps to eat certain foods to help eliminate cellulite, this will not have an effect on all men and women. According to Elizabeth Tanzi, M.D., co-director of laser surgery at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, "getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet lower in calories, and maintaining a normal weight may work as a cellulite treatment for some people. No special diet is necessary: just a common-sense one that's high in fruits and vegetables and low in fat."

Eat a Healthy, Balanced Diet

Eat a healthy, balanced diet that consist of raw organic fruits and vegetables, plenty of fiber and foods that contain whole grains, fish and nuts (no more than two handfuls per day), take omega 3 vitamins and drink plenty of water.

What to Avoid

According to Cellulite LTD International, "Avoid excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol, and foods high in fat or sugar e.g. chocolate and candy. Avoid foods high in salt and refined carbohydrates like white flour, bread and rice. Avoid foods with additives, artificial coloring and preservatives which can accumulate toxins in the body." To eliminate cellulite you must also avoid all of the following: cheese (with the exception of mozzarella), red meat, cream, smoking, sodas (including diet sodas), the contraceptive pill and junk food.

Best Organic Fruits and Vegetable that Combat Cellulite

To eliminate cellulite try eating the following organic fruits and vegetables: apples, bananas, beans, bell peppers, blueberries, blackberries, carrots, celery, cherries, cranberries, dandelion leaves, dried apricots, fennel, grapefruit, mangos, oranges, parsley, pineapples, prunes, strawberries, soy beans, raspberries, spinach, and tomatoes.

Low-Fat Dairy Products

Choose low-fat dairy products such as mozzarella, low-fat milk (or substitute low-fat milk with rice milk or soy milk), low-fat yogurt and low-fat cottage cheese.

White Meat

Eating turkey and grilled or rotisserie chicken are healthy alternatives to red meat or ham. Stay away from processed deli products, which are high in sodium.

Good Carbohydrates

Bad carbohydrates are to be avoided if you are trying to eliminate cellulite. However, there are good carbohydrates, such as artichokes, aspargaus, bok choy, broccoli, brown rice, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, chickpes, collard greens, eggplant, rice noodles and zuchini. These carbohydrates help reduce insulin levels, which prevents the body from storing fat.
