Summary: 4 Stars
The Cellulite Cure by Lionel Bissoon is a well written, very informative book. However, I feel the author could have done better. The synopsis of the book is this: the cure to cellulite is through a series of injections called mesotherapy.
Before purchasing this book I have had some mesotherapy injections to remove my cellulite. It does work, but it takes time. I had three sessions done on the back of my thighs and buttocks. My legs look a little better, but my butt needs extra attention ;-)
Bissoon did offer me hope that diet and physical activity does play a significant role (the cosmetic surgeon who performed my mesotherapy said diet has no effect). Bissoon gave me new hope and I will follow his tips in the book and continue to get more mesotherapy in the future.
I am giving this book a four because overall, I thought Bissoon did a good job in that he gave very clear explanations of what is, and what causes cellulite, but I already knew that.
He has a chapter on the anti-cellulite diet, but there is no diet. He shows photos of Amazonian women from all different ages who are cellulite free. His theory is because they eat whole, natural foods-nothing processed. He gives one page in which it lists 10 cellulite prevention recommendations; they are as follows:
1. Decrease the amount of sugar and refined sugar in your diet
2. Increase your consumption of leafy green vegetables
3. Increase your consumption of fish as a source of protein
4. Consume as many cruciferous vegetables as possible
5. Eat a diet high in soy content
6. Eat as much organic food as possible
7. Decrease your consumption of red meat
8. Exercise 20-25 minutes every other day
9. Take the stairs instead of using elevators
10. Whenever possible, walk instead of driving
A downside of this book is that it offers nothing on exercise. I was hoping Bissoon would have a chapter illustrating some of the best exercises to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but there wasn't one. In conclusion, the positives of this book is it is clear, well-written, and easy to read, the photos are wonderful, and the tips are good.
the negative is he could have given specific exercises, cellulite massage tips- since lack of circulation is one of the causes of cellulite. He could have listd foods which combat cellulite (as Dr. Murad has).
I have since sold my copy of this book and am now looking for a cellulite prevention book which focuses more on diet, exercise, and circulation/stretching to reduce cellulite.
Mesotherapy does work and I do recommend it, but diet and exercise can prevent future cellulite accumulation which is what I'm more interested in learning about.

Summary: 1 Stars
If I had known that the purpose of this book was to sell MesoTherapy services, I would not have purchased it. The before and after photos look impressive. Having had first-hand experience with mesotherapy, it is my opinion that the results portrayed are not typical. Also, mesotherapy does not work well for people who have previously had liposuction. If you are interested in investing in mesotherapy, proceed with caution and be sure to obtain references that you can speak directly with. Do not rely on photos exclusively.Book Review: Too good to be true?
Summary: 1 Stars
Cellulite is the site of stored fat. Fat cells are separated into compartments that are separated by connective tissue. While men tend to have horizontal or criss-cross patterns of the compartments, women's compartments are stored in a honeycomb-like pattern. This honeycomb pattern gives fat a greater chance of protruding or bulging, thus giving the appearance of cottage cheese or the orange-peel effect. This is why women are more likely to develop cellulite than men. [...]
