Qatrisun, my point exactly, it is like abusing the body. If one has the will power to starve for 15 days, might as well excercise.
The thing is fat cells cannot die. Exercising or dieting can empty the fat cells. Once you go back to a laidback lifestyle they get filled again with fat. Hence lipo comes into picture. Liposuction is the only way to remove fat cells permanently.
Cellulite treatment involves liposuction of that particular area. There are certain creams one can apply locally, but that is temporary.
