What the Heck Does Cellulite Have to Do with Your Liver?

If you’d told me a year ago that my liver played a key role in my tendency to accumulate fat and cellulite on my thighs and butt, I’d have dismissed it with hardly a thought. But then I started researching the connection between livery toxicity and a number of physical ailments, and soon become convinced otherwise.

It turns out that most of us take our livers for granted. Here we have these hard working, unassuming little organs that do all the heavy lifting in our digestive processes, and we just keep loading them up with saturated fats, alcohol, environmental pollutants, and all the other toxic burdens of living our fast-food, quick-fix lifestyles.

So it’s no wonder that as a society we’re fatter and sicker than ever.

Here’s the way it works. The liver produces a yellowish-green fluid called bile. Bile consists of water, bile salts, and a pigment referred to as bilirubin, which is necessary for the breakdown of fats by the intestines. The liver produces bile continuously and its flow to the intestines is very important in the overall function of waste elimination. If the production of bile somehow becomes compromised, those fat globules collected by the lymphatic system can't be processed by the liver and unfortunately remain in the body.

So why am I telling you all this? Besides the fact that I love researching this stuff? The main reason is because a clean, healthy liver is the secrets to totally effortless and fast weight loss AND the complete flushing of all that nasty cellulite we all hate so much. When you liver is healthy and functioning at full capacity, you’d be amazed at how easy it is to drop unwanted pounds.

So how do you go about detoxing your liver? The first thing you absolutely must do is completely abstain from alcohol for two full weeks. I know. This is a huge bummer. It is for me, anyway–I am a huge fan of drinking a glass or two of wine with dinner every night.

But alcohol devastates liver function–even a small amount of alcohol. So you have to give it up for a couple of weeks to flush out your system.

The next thing you have to do is give up all caffeine. Again, this sucks big time. My job requires that I get up at 4:30 a.m. most days, so believe me, I understand that this isn’t easy. But caffeine also severely inhibits liver function, so you’ve got quit drinking it in all its forms (coffee, tea, soda). Though you can introduce an occasional glass of wine or a beer back into your routine after the two-week no-booze period, you really should try to give up caffeine for good. Your liver will thank you, and so will your waistline.
