For women losing weight on hips and thighs is an eternal quest and has intrigued most weight loss doctors, because many methods simply do not show results. Different methods work for different people depending on individual constitutions, but theres a more generic solutions. Method A Check the amount and type of oil and fat in your diet; some people gain a lot of fat on hips and thighs if they consume butter, cheese, milk and curd. The smart option is to switch to olive oil and vegetable oil. For breakfast, one can make vegetable stuffed toast in sandwich maker or mushroom on toast. On Sundays, toasted garlic bread with olive oil is an interesting option. The optimum oil/ fat intake in the diet should be what is used in green vegetables, so avoid too much oil in pulses or combination of oil and cereal. Pump up the fiber in the diet by going for fruits with skin, multigrain flour with wheat bran, wheat flour and soy. Non-vegetarians eat fish (up to 4 times a week) and chicken (maximum twice a week). Make dinner light and have low glycemic index (low sugar) fruits in any quantity. Have two teaspoon of triphala every night to detoxify the body, and ginger water to boost liver function and hence fat breakdown. Method B Change the proportion of carbohydrates and protein in the diet to eat less carbohydrates. Limit high carbohydrates foods like rice, potatoes, pasta and bread and eat more of wheat and soya mixed roti. Non-vegetarian can eat all varieties of foods, including fish, chicken and meats, but must go easy on very heavy red meat, which can be eaten once in a week. Eat lots of vegetables in cooked and raw salad form and in soups. Drinking plenty of water, and avoid fruit juice, but consume up to four fruits of low glycemic index per day. The best way to lose weight specifically on hips and thighs is to walk briskly as much as your body can manage comfortably and finally take it up to four kilometers.
