10 Cities with the Most Cellulite

You can pinch more than an inch of dimpled flesh in these regions

September 23, 2009 | 29 COMMENTS

Here�s what we absolutely know about cellulite: you can�t "cure" it, women are more likely to have it, and it ain't pretty. What causes cellulite isn't so clear. Hormones and genetics definitely play a role (thanks, mom), but Howard Murad, M.D., and CEO/founder of Murad, Inc., says lifestyle factors that damage the skin or cause poor circulation, think: smoking, excess weight, a diet high in bad fats, alcohol, lack of exercise and overall poor health -- can also contribute. So we mined reams of official data and population research to find out what U.S. cities have the highest rates of cellulite risk factors. Find out if you live in one.

Disgusted but not surprised to see Alabama has health problems. Southern states tend to have many overweight/unhealthy people. Yikes!

I am from the south and there is a huge misnomer about health in those regions. There are some very healthy and beautiful people who live there, but extremes exist as well. I think it has to do with poverty/income/types of jobs. There are more factory and blue collar jobs. They do what they can with what they have.

dont know what to think - is this joke? obesity, drinking and smoking is going on in most smaller towns in states.

Interesting, but I'm not surprised..

My guess would be mostly southern cities just because of the obesity rates are higher there unfortunately.

This is very unhealthy.

I was able to lose 25 pounds in 28 days without exercise. This is actually a healthy way to loose weight. It resets your metabolism and the best part is that when the diet is over, you won't gain your weight back. Message me for more details!

Oh man, I hope i don't get cellulite

Since I'v been here in America I notice people worry to much about thier weight. I hear skiny women complaining all the time talking about how fat they are and how they want to loose weight. Im no where near skiny but I'm healthy, I dont under stand American women and why you all afraid to have some meat on bones.

I agree with Galorify, please put the articles on one page, I still have dial up and it takes forever to go from one page to the next...please consider this!

I love your posts, but would enjoy them even more if we didn't have to move to a new page for each thought. I have high speed internet and still find it annoying. It keeps me from reading some of your posts, just because of the time it takes to move through the pages. Thanks for great topics and interesting articles.
