Cellulite is a complicated issue, but it’s not directly caused by eating sunflower seeds. Cellulite is not caused by any food eaten in moderation. Here is some more information from Wikipedia:

• Cellulite – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sunflower seeds, or any other food, does not cause cellulite:

“There appears to be a hormonal component to its presentation. It is rarely seen in males. It is seen more commonly in males with androgen-deficient states such as Klinefelter’s syndrome, hypogonadism, post-castration states and in those patients receiving estrogen therapy for prostate cancer. The cellulite becomes more severe as the androgen deficiency worsens in these males.”

In fact, cellulite isn’t even related to being overweight. I remember reading a story about a woman who managed a gym and had seen a wide variety of women from fat to thin. Cellulite resides on all bodies, not just people who are fat. Once again, Wikipedia verifies this:

“Cellulite is not related to being overweight; average and underweight people also get cellulite.”

There is a huge industry trying to make you feel bad about yourself and those dimples on your bottom. Don’t let them make you feel self conscious. Why is it that dimples on baby bottoms are cute and on grown up bottoms aren’t? Who decided that? Whoever they were was wrong. Cellulite is a natural occurence. Embrace it and the rest of your body with love.
