Losing weight can be difficult, even frustrating, especially when you are trying to lose weight around pesky trouble spots like the thighs and hips. It can become maddening to perform hours of exercise in those problem spots and not see results. At least for women, losing weight on the hips and thighs is an eternal dream and to confess the truth, the same issue has intrigued most weight loss doctors because many methods used for weight-loss simply do not show results in these problem areas.

Many people attempt to lose weight on the hips and thighs by some spot reduction methods like soaps, gels, mechanical gadgets, etc. The soaps and gels have never been proven to show any results and neither have those mechanical devise proved fruitful. So the most important question is what actually works?

In order to lose weight from your hips and thighs, you will need to attack the problem on two fronts: exercise and diet. There are different methods which work for different people which have proven benefits like:

Method A: Cut Fat Intake

• Check the amount and type of oil and fat in the diet. Some people gain a lot of fat on hips and thighs if they are consuming butter, ghee, cheese, milk and curd .The smart option is to switch to olive oil or vegetable oil.
• Avoid too much paneer, oil in dals (pulses) or even combination of oil and cereal like matthi, chips, fries, paratha, samosa, biryani, etc.
• For breakfast, one can make a vegetable stuffed toast or a mushroom toast and for a change on Sundays, toasted garlic bread with olive oil is a yummy option. You can even have low Glycemic index (GI) fruits for breakfast.
• Pump up the fiber in the diet by going for fruits with skin, multigrain atta (wheat flour) with wheat bran, jowar, bajra, channa, soy, etc.
• For non-vegetarians, eat fish up to 4 times a week, chicken up to maximum 2 times a week. However go easy on red meat.
• Make dinners light and have 2 teaspoons of triphala every night to detoxify the body along with ginger water to boost liver function which will fasten the fat breakdown process....
