On the way to losing weight, most women face such a problem as disproportionate weight loss. Often, the face, arms, chest lose weight, but the legs and hips remain the same. In such a situation, the imbalance of the shape becomes more and more obvious. Something that upsets the fair sex a lot. But is it possible to fight this?
Men and women differ in their normal parameters. Everyone knows that when men are overweight, the so-called "beer" belly grows. A lot of visceral fat appears, which wraps the internal organs. Women on the other hand, most often increase the volume in the hips, buttocks and legs. This is due to the fact that nature has inherent in a woman the ability to bear and give birth to a child. To protect the future fetus from external factors, fat is deposited just below the body. This shape is called a "pear" shape. But it is certainly possible to fight this.
Diet for slimming legs
No matter how hard you try to lose weight in your legs or other area, you can not go anywhere without a well-designed diet. About 70% of the success of any weight loss depends on diet. So what do you need to eat to lose weight on your legs?
- The first rule that everyone knows is that there is a little, but often. This is a real way to speed up a slow metabolism. This way you will be able to calm the body, which is tormented by diets, and prove to him that there will always be food now and he will no longer experience any hunger break. Only then will the body stop storing hated calories. Eat every 3 hours, portions should be minimal - a bowl of soup, half a side dish, a small piece of meat.
- Breakfast - cereals without sugar and with a minimum amount of milk. Lunch - meat soup with a small amount of oil, meat, vegetable salad. For dinner, protein products - fish, cottage cheese, vegetables, milk. For snacks - a small amount of nuts, fruits (not more than once a day), kefir, vegetables.
- From now on, give up sugar, flour, fast food, chips, crackers and similar junk food. You do not have to finish the food for a child, to finish the food at a party, so as not to offend the hostess, in a restaurant, because it is paid. Understand that your body is not a bin for waste. Eat only the best.
- Drink plenty of clean water and green tea. Water removes fat breakdown products during weight loss and green tea speeds up metabolism.
These simple dietary guidelines will help you lose weight not only on your legs, but all over your body.

- Lie on your side on the mat. Raise and lower the top of your foot so that your butt does not fall and touch the floor. You must lie down firmly on your side. Change your leg after 20 lifts. When exercising both legs, in the same position, throw your foot as far forward as possible and push it as far back as possible. At the same time, try to keep your body still.
- Lie on your back and lift your legs up. Spread them as far as possible and then bring your feet together. Do at least 40 reps.
- After that, stand on the "candle" and spread your legs from this position. Scissors - cross and spread your legs.
- Climb on all fours and start lifting your leg. First, you should do 20 lifts slowly, pulling the toe to the head as much as possible. After that, do the exercise with the other leg. The second part of the exercise is the same, but now you have to do the exercises not slowly, but quickly, as if throwing your foot out with jerks. Do not forget to repeat the same with the other leg.
- A rope will help you lose weight on your legs quickly and effectively. Do at least three sets of 100-150-200 jumps every day. Gradually increase the number of jumps and approaches.
By performing a set of these exercises every day, you can count on a reduction in volume within a month (subject to the rules of a healthy diet). In addition, there are many additional methods for local weight loss.

If you follow the diet and exercise at the same time, the result will not be long in coming.
How To Accelerate Weight Loss In Specific Areas

With other problem areas, you can sit on the platform, put your hands on the etc. This is a very effective way, since you are just standing there and not participating in the process in any way.
