target areas for fat loss

metulchik

Is there any way to target specific areas of the body for fat loss? I especially want to lose the fat from my hips, thighs and stomach. Is there something I can do to specifically target these areas, or is that out of my control?

Sad thing is, there is no such thing as spot reduction. Your body will lose how it wants to. First on, first off, So if it's been there awhile, it's going to take a push. Don't get discouraged. It will come!

It's like taking water from a pond unfortunately.

However if you workout (resistance training is good). Eat the right calorie deficit and prioritise your protein and eat healthy, it will happen.

There's no quick fix.

Ugh, that's what I was afraid of! Thanks

I have read a lot of things on what - for your particular body type and weight carrying areas - you should be eating. The first link also has a link to exercises for what you mention - targeting full hips, thighs and rear.


Workout for a Pear Body Type: Curtsy Squats & Rows

To work this area, do resistance training and get a cardio workout at the same time by using something called "complexes." Complexes are a type of circuit training consisting of body sculpting moves, done back to back in a circuit format. Pears should combine curtsy squats and rows. You can do this routine with a resistance band or by holding milk cartons or cans. Start by doing a curtsy. Then, lean forward with your hips and go right into a rowing motion with your arms. Do as many as you can with good form in 30 seconds. Repeat this exercise 2-3 times. You'll increase lean body tissue, boost your metabolism, and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

It would be great if we could just eat certain foods and the weight would just leave the areas we want them to.

Too bad science doesn't back this idea up.
You really cannot spot lose.

Eta: exercise, resistance is terrific for any & all bodies. Magic foods is just a gimmick.
