Thigh Gap?

Thigh gaps are genetic. Some people have them, some people will never have them. There is nothing you can "eat" to get one. It all has to do with bone structure.

This is not accurate. Anyone can make enough space between their thighs if enough tissue is reduced in the area. Every skeleton has a thigh gap.

Im your height and weigh 15lbs more than you. Im not saying Im the skinniest girl on the block but I think Im pretty slender. At 100lbs you must already be very thin. If you dont have one now, you wont at a healthy weight. They're are genetic.

Okay, I still have almost 30lbs to goal weight, but my thighs BARELY touch, so I think when I get down to my goal weight, I'll have a small "thigh gap". You don't have to be extremely underweight to achieve a thigh gap, and it has a lot to do with how you're built. Generally you need a pretty wide hip frame. I have MEAT on my legs, and have always had muscular thighs because I was in soccer and cheer all my life. That being said, at your height weight, it seems like you just won't achieve it, sorry.

But for those people saying you can't be healthy and have a thigh gap are just plain misinformed.


Doesn't look underweight to me...

You dont have to be underweight to have one, unless you are not genetically predisposed to.

Still at 220 and I have a thigh gap... but I am built apple shaped. Skinny butt, legs and thighs with a gut and boobs. I hope the rest of me thins here soon since so far it all my 41 pounds seems to have come off my already small lower half.

Went from a xl or size 18 to a med/ L 14 and everything just hangs off my nonexistant butt. No good! Down from a 2X top to a plain XL but still akward.

Maybe you are just built with thighs and an a**.... If so I am jealous!

What should I eat to get a thigh gap? Like how much, and what kinds of food. I'm 5 foot and 100 pounds.

You are small and thin, so it might be a matter of thigh muscle. Some woman reduce the amount of leg exercises to shrink the muscles and create the gap.

Not necessarily. Whether or not you naturally have a thigh gap at a healthy weight has to do with the totality of your build, including the structure of your legs, your musculature, and fat distribution.

Generally speaking I think women with naturally curvy pear or hourglass builds have the most difficult time achieving a gap at a healthy weight. If you have well developed thighs then you need wider hips to get a gap. Apple shaped women seem to be more likely to have one, and stringy muscled, long limbed women like me who haven't been blessed with much in the way of curves are more likely to have one even when moderately overweight. That's not a desirable trade-off in my opinion, but there's nothing I can do about it. Scrawny thighs run on both sides of my family.

I don't know if I'm missing something, but that's kind of what I just said? Right? That it has to do with how you're built..

Yep. But a lot of people are saying "wide hips" and I'm not sure that's the best predictor of a natural thigh gap.

Myth Buster:
I'm a pear/hour glass. There's a 12 inch difference between my waist and my hips. Don't think it can get much worse then that. Even when I was 30 lbs heavier I still had it.

I didn't say pear/hourglass women couldn't have one, just that it would be more likely with relatively wide hips. And with a 12" waist to hip difference it sounds like you probably qualify.

i'd just like to post out that OP posted this up in april, and has never posted up again...

Someone must have been bored to resurrect a thread from April.

^^This!

Stand with your legs apart.

Hahaha.... lol, i agree with Lozze.

Love it!

What you first need to do is stop believing in magic beans.

Exactly....all of the above...

You have a gap at the top of your thighs because your trainers are still on!

This isn't a picture of me....I wish... but I've seen other pictures of her, and trust me she has a thigh gap. A lot of people who do cross it have it too.

Thigh gaps depends on how small your thighs are and how wide your hips are. If you have small hips, it's hard to get one even if your thighs are skinny. There's no specific food/exercise that will help. Basically just lose fat and hope your hips are wide enough.

Yeeee hawwwww
