No, because when I'm eating healthy I consume more fiber from veggies, fruits and legumes. Also, I take a daily psyllum fiber supplement (metamucil or store brand equivalent) not for constipation, but because it helps fill me up, lowers cholesterol, and lowers risks of several cancers. Orange metamucil mixed in milk tasted just like a dreamcicle Although I usually choke down the plain stuff with neither sugar nor sweetener in juice or water.

Also, it's asked at least a hundred times but anyone notice changes for better, worse and just plain transitionally weird look of any cellulite that may be present.
I'm lucky I guess not to have much of the cellulite-y fat. Most of my fat is internal (the omentum that was discussed earlier) and a relatively thin subcutaneous layer. Actually, this isn't really "lucky" as the ometum fat is the most dangerous for one's health. But if I can just get rid of it and keep it off, I'll be lucky not to be dealing with cellulite.

However, there is unfortunately no diet or exercise to get rid of it if you have it. Cellulite has to do with the connective tissues in your fat aging and losing elasticity. There is some evidence that mesotherapy can help the look of it with some people.
