 Still Seeking a Cure for Cellulite... September 15, 2009
The Cellulite ANALYST
The Butt Book is a quick read, but still informative. (Who knew there's such thing as a "Wonder Butt Bra?") I read this book as part of my epic, global investigation into the growing cellulite epidemic! As you would expect, Reno focuses on weight training as the key to sculpting a cellulite-free tush. You're probably already familiar with most of the exercises she recommends. Squats, lunges, and hip thrusts are all pretty well known. She reveals an exercise called "prone hyperextensions" as the "well-kept butt-building secret." It's the exercise that prompted her to write "pain is progress," so proceed at your own risk (plus, it requires a special machine you'd have to find at your local gym).
Several chapters of The Butt Book are devoted to an explanation of Reno's Eat Clean philosophy. She recommends the typical weight-training diet: low-fat, high protein, lots of complex carbs and between meal snacks. She advises that all dietary fat intake should be kept to a minimum since fat "is stored away by the body in case of future starvation situations," a theory that endocrinologists have recently brought into doubt. But it was good to see her critique of the calories-in-calories-out theory of eating. As Reno explains, it's more the quality of calories that is important. For a more scientific explanation of why counting calories is useless, read Gary Taubes Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage). If you can make it through that book, you'll never count another calorie again. Guaranteed.
In spite of The Butt Book's subtitle, Reno doesn't say much about cellulite directly. In the Q&A section at the back of the book, she does respond to a reader's question about dry brushing for cellulite reduction. I was really interested to see how she would respond to this one because I noticed a huge difference in my cellulite using this technique. She tells the reader that exfoliating the skin can't hurt, but the problem is much deeper, claiming that cellulite is caused by a junk-food diet and inactivity. I've never been into junk food and I've always been an active person, so this generic response didn't resonate with me. The Butt Book is a good read if you want to learn the basic exercises for targeting those glutes, but my quest to unravel the secret to cellulite continues...

This book is sensible, easy and a few exercises that really work. The diet is also reasonable and healthy.

the pictures helped me understand the positions for the excersises and the fact that clean eating contributes to the healthy butt should not be minimized so yes, this book is a great start. The pictures make it fun, fast and easy to read. There are pictures of the food as well so it makes all those veggies look very appealing; another great start.
Great book July 12, 2007

The book doesn't have much stuff that i haven't seen before, but she definitely makes it very clear how to focus on that part of your body. I love the information on it. It's clear cut, simple and the book is very easy to read. I got that one and the Eat Clean Diet and love them both.
