As Seattle rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot said in a song, "Baby Got Back!" But the question is, is baby's back (butt) steatopygian or callipygian? One means having shapely buttocks and the other means excessive accumulation of fat on the buttocks.
Callipygia
Callipygian refers to the shapely buttocks that may have excessive fat in them but is considered healthy due to lack of cellulite and/or stretch marks.
When you examine the callipygian butt in the nude, it is not only shapely with definition and tone, but the skin is very smooth. There are no fluid pockets (cellulite) or stretch marks on it, which are considered unsightly to most self-conscious women.
Steatopygia
Steatopygia refers to the unshapely buttocks that are the result of excessive fat that leads to stretch marks and/or cellulite.
When you examine the steatopygian butt in the nude, it lacks shape, definition and tone. The skin appears very bumpy due to excess fluid buildup and retention. It may also be lined with stretch marks, which are caused by internal muscle, fat or organ growth outpacing the skin's ability to stretch to contain it all.
Causes of Steatopygia
Many working women may start off with callipygian butts in their early to late teens and into their early twenties, but by their late twenties and early thirties, the excessive fat takes a toll on the butt and it becomes steatopygian. It's usually because they spend more time sitting than moving (due to their work), eating richer, fattier foods (because they are making more money), or eat more than needed as a way to cope with stress.
Diet and exercise play a tremendous influence on the development of Steatopygia.
Dietary Influences
Diet plays an important role in whether a buttock is callipygian or steatopygian. Whether your butt type is genetic or environmental, what you eat and drink can make a bad situation worse.
Hormone-laced meats and dairy products consumed by the average American today are causing more and more people of every ethnicity to sport big ole butts-and not the good kind.
The meat industry injects hormones into the buttocks of female pigs so as to get more pig booty for bacon. Bacon means "back end." Remember this the next time you take a bite into your BLT sandwich. The "B" in "BLT" doesn't stand for "bacon," it stands for "booty." A BLT is a booty, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
Meat, dairy and refined starches leave many toxic byproducts of a fluid nature that find their way into the buttocks for storage purposes due to impaired eliminative channels. This is why cleansing and detoxifying the major eliminative channels (colon, kidneys, etc.) is a must in weight loss. The fat stored in the cells will be excreted via the kidneys (urine) and the colon (defecation) and some of the fat may be burned for energy.
Healing Options
Drinking lots of water is instrumental in flushing waste from the tissues of the buttocks.
To make sure you are drinking the necessary amount of water daily take your body weight and divide it in half and change the pounds into ounces. For example, if you weigh 180 pounds, divide that in half and you'll get 90 pounds. Change the pounds (90 lbs) to ounces (90 oz). So if you're 180 pounds you should be drinking 90 ounces of water daily. That's more than one gallon of water per day.
Skincare for Your Booty
You can also rub coconut oil or any other good oil that is food-based (i.e. Almond, Rose Hip Seed, Avocado, Sesame, Grape Seed, etc.) into your buttocks as a carrier oil and then add a few drops of essential oils of either Eucalyptus, Juniper Berry, or Grapefruit Peel to your hands or palms and massage into the tissues of the buttocks.
After this, rub a loofah brush (in circular motion) into your buttock tissues, which can help to release fluid in the fatty pockets as the friction of the loofah rubbing against the skin produces heat.
You must do this daily and religiously for results. All it takes is about 5-7 minutes of your time out of every day to get the results you desire. It really works.
