Review your diet to lose your saddlebags
No need to embark on a very restrictive diet or starve yourself! However, it remains necessary to adopt a healthy diet to lose your saddlebags. Indeed, all sugars (cakes, sweets, pastries, etc.) and excess unsightly fats tend to be lodged in the abdominal area for men. However, for women, all this fat mass often favors the lower body. To eliminate saddlebags, you will need:
– Stock up on fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber. In general, all foods rich in insoluble fiber and soluble fiber are preferred. Low in calories, they will absorb carbohydrates and lipids.
-Limit alcohol, sugar and salt (promoting water retention)
-Avoid eating very fatty foods. Foods high in saturated fat and junk foods have nutritional intake often limited and lodges directly on the thighs.
-Without completely banishing fat, favor good fats over bad fats. Instead of omega-6 from peanuts, corn or sunflower oil, prefer omega-3 from walnuts, rapeseed oil or flaxseed and omega-9 from olive oil for cooking.
Slimming massage to combat cellulite
Massaging regularly is in fact a key gesture to evacuate toxins and water accumulated in the tissues and therefore fight against cellulite. Let us recall, however, that the massages alone are useless in the same way as a good diet without sport or regular physical activity while eating anything on the side will reduce your efforts to nothing ! The best option for losing saddlebags and cellulite is the famous “palpate-roll”. In fact, this deep movement will directly grip the skin tissues in order to stimulate blood circulation, break up the dimples and promote lymphatic drainage. Don’t trust any miracle slimming and anti-cellulite cream, it doesn’t exist. The secret is to do the right thing and be very regular!

What sport should you choose to lose your saddlebags?
Any sporting activity is a plus. However, some sports are more appropriate than others. Very often, saddlebags are the result of imbalance between the amount of fat absorbed by the body and the amount of fat burned. Also, practicing a cardio activity will allow calorie expenditure to burn fat.
There is :

Losing your saddlebags requires tenacity and effort. If, however, you still have difficulty, there are other more expensive techniques. In institutes or at the dermatologist’s office, cryolipolysis (or coolsculpting) can be very effective on small, well-localized excess fat. Count between 150 and 500 euros per session. Last option, not without risks, infiltration liposuction (or liposuction) could be offered to you by a cosmetic surgeon. However, cosmetic surgery remains a last resort.
