Graceful waist, beautiful thin arms, longlegs – you are close to ideal, if not for one thing – thick thighs?

If there is no gap between the legs, just above the calf, then you have a problem with excess weight. And it needs to be solved urgently.
Why did fat appear
Remember once and for all, there is only one reasonthere is no way to lose those hated kilograms. There is also no universal way to lose weight that would help everyone at once. Therefore, before starting a war against fat, you need to find out why this problem arose in you.
- Wrong way of life
Excessive consumption of unhealthy foods, lack ofphysical activity, sedentary work. If at least two of these three points are relevant for you, then the cause of obesity is banal laziness. Such representatives of the fair sex should reconsider their diet, start visiting sports clubs and move more.
- Metabolic disease
Often girls completely refuse to eat,spend hours in the gym, and the scales refuse to show a lower number. In this case, you should undergo a full medical examination to identify hidden diseases. Perhaps an overweight woman has problems with the hypothalamus, pancreas, thyroid gland and adrenal glands.
- Lack of sleep
When a person sleeps, his body is completelyrests. The longer you stay awake, the more energy you expend. As a result, you experience increased appetite, bad mood, and fatigue. The food eaten at this time is not processed, but immediately turns into calories.
- Stress and depression
When you are in a bad mood,worry about trifles or take it out on others, your body produces a special buzz. It affects obesity. In addition, girls like to eat away troubles with sweets or, even worse, wash them down with alcohol.

Many medications that are recommended for usein case of insomnia, depression, migraine, pressure, etc., cause increased appetite. You should also be careful with thyroid medications. If after taking them you constantly want to eat, consult a doctor. Ask to replace the tablets with similar ones, but without such side effects.
- Menopause
For the fair sex after 50(sometimes earlier) the body begins to age, metabolism slows down, and a hormonal boom occurs. At the same time, the amount of estrogen (a purely female hormone) begins to decrease. As a result, fat begins to accumulate on the hips.
- Genetic predisposition
If any of your close relativessuffers from obesity (parents, grandparents), then the probability of this problem occurring in you is 40%. If this pathology was observed in 2 people (both dad and mom), the risk increases to 70%.
Active weight loss: movement is life
Declare to yourself that you have decided to get rid of faton the hips, knees and buttocks is half the battle. The main thing is that your decision does not stop at the preparatory stage. It is also not uncommon for girls who have not received positive results during the first two or three months to give up and return to their previous rhythm of life.

In this case, not only the quantity of food plays an important role, but also its quality. Less fat, more protein. Replace sunflower oil with olive oil, mayonnaise with low-fat kefir. At first, to make it easier for you, weigh each portion and indicate in a notebook how much and what you ate. In the evening, sum up and write down whether you exceeded the norm or not. Step four: choose a sport for yourself Does the thought of physical education make your skin crawl? Your opinion about sports can change dramatically if you find an activity that suits your taste. Swimming pool, gym, oriental dancing, pole-dance, aerobics – group training will bring the desired result, improve your mood and well-being. At the same time, scientists have long proven that people who exercise together lose weight much faster than those who do it alone. Step five: move more When walking with your child in the park, do not be lazy to run around the playground, ride a bike or roller skates with him. Do not be afraid to seem funny! Active mothers are always thinner than girls who constantly sit on benches. Get a dog and run with it during evening and morning walks. You can also lose weight by doing housework. Try to wash the floors without squatting or bending over. While cooking in the kitchen, rise and fall on your toes. While watching your favorite TV series, run in place, do stretching exercises. Before going to bed, take a walk with your significant other so that a heavy dinner does not turn into fat on your hips and buttocks, but burns off.
