From Library Journal Ronsard's first book on cellulite ( Cellulite: Those Lumps, Bumps, & Bulges You Couldn't Lose Before , 1973) became a bestseller nearly 20 years ago. Here Ronsard updates her original work with a holistic approach to total body health that will, she says, eliminate cellulite as well. Her regimen includes sensible eating and exercise that will benefit anyone. She pushes fruits, vegetables, and grains, advising us to reduce fats and sugars. Several recipes are included. Directions for toning exercises supplement her recommendation for regular aerobic workouts. The controversial massage and brushing techniques for lymphatic circulation and tissue mineral balancing may not actually break up the lumps and bumps, but they feel good and are harmless. If it works, do it. Bathing suit season is coming! Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 11/1/91.- Susan B. Hagloch, Tuscarawas Cty.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Beyond Cellulite Beyond Cellulite is a brilliant book which mainly focuses on a new way of life rather than a get healthy quick routine. It covers everthing from diet and excersise to mental health. If you feel yourself slacking, read a couple of chapters and you will be back on track. I followed it when I was pregnant. As a result I had a wonderful pregnancy, a better figure and no cellulite after my baby was born. Unfortunately, I lent the book to a friend who never returned it. Hence visiting this site for another copy. Good Luck! It works! I've dabbled occasionally with Nicole Ronsard's philosophy for over 20 years but didn't take her approach seriously until now. Something to do with turning 50. I wanted to be in shape again. Walking five times a week helped a little but still didn't get rid of my riding thighs, lumpy legs, and thick knees. The cellulite was beginning to appear on my stomach also. At 5'10" and 165 lbs I didn't look overweight but after the first 6 weeks of following her plan I lost 14 lbs. My legs and rear end are sleeker, pants fit better and I am able to wear shorts without embarrasment. My knees are thinner, I look healthy and feel great! To those people who tell you that you can't lose cellulite, they are wrong. If you follow this plan you can show them it really can be done. Then you can reap the rewards of feeling great and knowing you look great! Good luck ! Some new info, some old info, all helpful I was really surprised to learn about the sodium/potassium balance that plays such a big role in cellulite. I was very impressed with the author's encouragement to eat raw fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and sprouts etc. I have been studying (and practicing) raw foodism for a little while on and off and considering this book was written in 1995 (and that was the second edition!) I am truly glad to see that the raw food movement is - once again - not a new concept and truly is the best way to eat. The ideas that she presents are fairly basic, but then again, she has an almost vegetarian way of eating which also is encouraging. Even though some of what she writes would seem obvious, it goes beyond. It's worth purchasing and seeing if it makes a difference in your life.
